revealed his topping

INTERNATIONAL PIZZA
CHALLENGE FINDS NEW BLOOD
For the last several years, we've seen
some familiar faces competing in the
five categories of the International Pizza
Challenge. It's always great to see what
these fierce competitors come up with
year after year, but also getting to know
them on a personal level. It's especially
exciting to see competitors who've come
close to winning before finally make it to
the end.
Every year, however, whispers and
rumors abound about favoritism by the
judges. Here's the kicker: the judges are
truly blind tasting competitors' entries
in the non-traditional and traditional
divisions. So how does it actually work?
Competitor A, B, C, D and E are all
working on their entries at the same time
in front of the crowd. Competitor C's pizza
gets done first, so he or she takes his or
her two pizzas to the judging stand. The
better of the two is brought whole into the
judging booth. There's no name -- just
the competitor's hand-written card with
his or her ingredients and description.
The pizza is then cut and served to the
judges. Each competitor has his own score
sheet, and the scores are entered digitally.
Sometimes a couple of pizzas get done at
the same time, so the judges are reliant
on competitor numbers. (Also, once a
work station is clean, we put in the next
contestant, so we're constantly moving.)
In the end, the finalists with the four
highest scores compete in the finals,
regardless of what region they're from.
The traditional and non-traditional finalists
compete against the winners from the pan
and Napoletana division using a secret
ingredient. And THAT is how we name the
Pizza Maker of the Year.
If you competed this year and have
feedback, I'd love to hear it. Drop me an
e-mail at mdetwiler@pizzatoday.com.

When the pizza maker doesn't
spread the toppings evenly.
Nothing like having 10 pcs.
Of a topping on 1 slice and
nothing on the slices next
to it.

I only use fresh mushrooms
but I've seen can mushrooms
done very well when the
mushrooms are marinated
in Olive oil, fresh garlic, salt
and black pepper several
days before they are put on
a pizza.

region in my case, doesn't
have green olives as an
option.
