This has nothing to do with piping but we might keep the winner of this in mind for the next party/openhouse/pizza night we have.
I think for publicity’s sake we should try to get a band member on the judging panel for next year. I’ll gladly volunteer. Maybe a piper can play in the pizza, ala Burns Night’s playing in the haggis.
My vote would go to Little Anthony’s, but I might give a runner up to the Fountain…
Here are the judging criteria thanks to “All Over Albany” http://alloveralbany.com/
“So this year we’ve switched to a points system. Judges score pizzas in four categories (maximum points):
Crust (5)
Sauce (5)
Toppings (5)
Overall taste (10)
(Here’s a sample score sheet)
The maximum score a pizza could receive from a judge is 25 points — and the maximum overall score is 100 (4 judges x 25 possible points). The first tie breaker is overall taste score alone. The second tie breaker is a coin flip.
One thing that hasn’t changed about the scoring: the tastings are blind. Slices are presented to the judges as “Pizza A” and “Pizza B.”
Our thanks to the judges, who really take their tasting duties seriously. The TOP involves a lot of time (and eating). We appreciate it.
Results start on Monday.”
Venezia and Nunzio’s move to the next round beating out D’Andrea’s and West Ave respectively.
Interesting — I haven’t had any of those. Interested in the Albany results
I Love NY and Jimmy’s in Troy move up.
Marino’s and Nico’s move up in Schenectady.
Pasquale’s and Marisa’s move up in the Albany comp.
Down to the final 4.
Pasquale’s is the winner. I have never tried it but maybe for a pizza night one of these times we could try it out. I don’t think I want their final entry though – eggplant.
