From
breakfast pizzas to a mac and cheese and chili pizza, from cheese to hamburger
with French fried onions and barbeque sauce, this year’s pizza challenge
competitors held nothing back in the creativity department.
The
4th Annual Pizza Challenge took place Thursday, May 29 in the old
Fashion Bug location. The event, sponsored by The Sebago Lake Rotary Club, was
well attended with hundreds of people stopping by to sample the various pizzas
and vote for their favorite. Small pizza shops and national chains put their
pizzas to the test, a taste test, where the public was the judge.
DJ
Brian Zutter set the mood with fun music to eat by. There was also a silent
auction and a bake sale for dessert after the pizza.
The
fundraiser made approximately $4,000 to support the charities that the Rotary
club supports.
The
overall winner voted on by the public was The Crazy Stallion Pizza Pie Factory
(The Umbrella Factory) from Naples.
Secret
judges circulated the room taking notes and judging in four categories. The winner
for best crust was Maine Street Grill (for all of their crusts). The best veggie pizza was given to Portland Pie Company
for their Bradbury Mountain Pizza. Best meat pizza was awarded to Corsetti’s
for their cheese steak pizza. The most creative pizza was Crazy Stallion Pizza
Pie Factory (The Umbrella Factory) for its General Tso’s and Cookout pizzas.
The General Tso’s is orange chicken, white sauce, broccoli and sesame seeds. The Cookout
features any one of the burger pizzas with a hotdog stuffed crust.
No
one went away hungry and if they did, there’s always next year.
