BARRIE, ONTARIO (April 26, 2013) - Topper’s Pizza served the Judges piping hot, fresh pizzas made from the recipes of all 8 Semi-Finalists. The Judges scored each recipe based on 4 areas: APPEARANCE, AROMA, TASTE, and LIKELIHOOD TO RECOMMEND. All the recipes were delicious, which made the decision very tough for the Judges! THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER of the Pizza Making Genius 2013 contest, as chosen by the Judges, WINS FREE PIZZA FOR A YEAR will have their pizza on the Topper’s menu starting May 27, 2013, and be featured in the summer advertising.
THE PIZZA MAKING GENIUS 2013 GRAND PRIZE IS AWARDED TO CHRIS FRYER of Orangeville with his recipe for a MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN PIZZA. Congratulations, Chris! You’re a Pizza Making Genius!
Special kudos go out to the top Facebook winners, Irvin A. (Sudbury) for his PHILLY CHEESE STEAK PIZZA recipe, and Christina Y. (Ottawa) for her HONEY GARLIC PIZZA recipe. Both entrants also WIN FREE PIZZA FOR A YEAR.
