Vancouver Foodster has just launched the 3rd Pizza Challenge with a dozen city restaurants signed up to participate. Until March 26th, the public is invited to get out and try any or all of the pizza creations then vote for their favourites to help choose the Pizza Challenge winner.
The participating restaurants have been challenged to be as creative as they would like or create a perfect classic pie that will wow the tasters. The chefs were advised that the criteria voters will consider when tasting is originality, creativity, uniqueness, traditional, non-traditional, price, value and most importantly taste.
In addition to the public vote, a trio of media judges will be tasting the Pizza Challenge entries to choose the Judges Choice Winner.
