PIZZA CHEF

of the year competition

Pizza'zz 2018 offers a collection of recipes aimed at encouraging all pizza chefs to be creative and innovative with their pizzas. So do feel free to use and adapt these recipes for your own business.

The search is on for Pizza Chef of the Year 2018!

This year there will be a £3,000 cash prize as well as the coveted Pizza Chef of the Year title.

The competition offers participants the chance to receive considerable publicity and prestige for them and their business. Last year’s winner Marco Fuso says, “there are many reasons why pizza chefs should take part in the competition, for the experience you gain from the event, meeting other chefs and exchanging knowledge and experiences. For me, I have had many opportunities, like travelling to Las Vegas to compete at the Pizza Expo, have articles placed in food magazines for my pizza making, but most importantly the competition has made me a better chef."

How to enter If you would like to take part in the Pizza Chef Competition this year you need to register.
