Competitions

2013 Pizza Pizzazz competition. 
Battle the nation's top pizza makers for your slice of the $16,000 pie!

CHAMPIONS CROWNED
On each of two days, 75 contestants bake first-round pizzas and six finalists are chosen. Those six pies are prepared again and judged, and the top-three finishers are announced.

CASH PAID
Winners in the Gourmet (Sunday) and Traditional (Monday) categories receive a top prize of $6,000 (including a media assistance package), while second and third place winners receive $1,000 and $500 respectively. 

BUSINESSES CHANGED
Past winners say sales spiked an average of 30 percent for months after winning Pizza Pizzazz. That's a big return on a modest investment.
