1."Taste of Your Town" Pizza Recipe Contest

I wanted to announce a brand new pizza contest Bolla Wines is sponsoring. This may be the biggest pizza promotion of the year and I wanted you to be the first to know about it.

It's all about making pizza. Certainly any event that promotes the joys of pizza, automatically has my support. This is not just any pizza contest. This is a pizza contest with a twist.

The notion is to create a pizza using your own regional foods and tastes. Imagine the possibilities of this! If you live on the East Coast, you could submit a Maine Lobster pizza. Or if you are from the West, an Idaho Potato Pizza. You can get as creative as you like.

The idea is to create a pizza, using ingredients from where you live.

I have requested a "press kit" in order to share with you the very latest information. I will release more the about "Taste of Your Town" contest, as it becomes available.

You can read the press release at this page. Then click on the link to go to the contest sign up.

There will be regional winners and a grand prize winner. "The top winner from each region (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Far West) will receive a Bolla pizza kit including a pizza oven and move on to compete for the grand prize trip to Europe."

Go directly to the contest, click here.

I am convinced that one or several of the winners may come from our community at
Pizza Therapy! I am issuing a challenge to you. Enter this contest and win!

If you would like to comment about this, I created a forum thread for you here.

2. World's Best Pizza Slicer: The Laser Pizza Cutter

The future of pizza cutters is here. Don't waste your time with any of those old fashioned pizza tools.

Sure you can bust your knuckles with a
pizza wheel like this:

You can even invest in a
Homer Simpson Pizza Wheel:

You need to check the high tech, over the top,
Laser Pizza Cutter.

Give a little time for the video to load. Be patient. Although this is the high tech,
high tech is a little slow, sometimes.

Laser Pizza Cutter

I am testing one of these units in my kitchen.
It takes up a lot of counter space, but it works like a charm.

4. Ro's Pizza: Pizza Served in a Paper Bag

I love hearing from pizza fans. They have a unique way of presenting ideas and concepts. Once in a while, I get an email that strikes a chord.

Hey Albert,

My name is Chris Briglia, I'm 21 and from Connecticut. I love the website. I've been a pizza lover for as long as I can remember.

Favorite food on earth, handsdown. I'm a frequent visitor to Pepe's and Modern pizza down in New Haven. I just wanted to bring another pizza joint to your attention if you, or anyone you're affiliated with, ever comes to Connecticut again.

Ro's Pizza is located in Watertown, CT. I actually live in Watertown and Ro's is my favorite pizza in CT next to Pepe's. The pizza is a thick, brick oven style pizza.

My grandmother refers to it as "the way pizza used to be made".

I like their pepperoni but that's my favorite topping as it is. They ship their pizzas out
in the old fashion paper bags. No boxes here. The actual restaurant is not as appealing because the
place has been around since the 30's I believe. Don't quote me on that. They have made recent renovations and the look is improving.

Ro's has a rich history of being family owned and is a staple in the Watertown/Waterbury area when it comes to pizza. They also have a full menu. The menu includes typical things such as subs, salads, pasta, etc. The pizza is where it's at though.

Ro's Pizza Restaurant
841 Main Street
Watertown, CT 06779

Phone : (860)274-1348

Thanks for your time. I just thought I'd throw this
out there because it's a great place for some
delicious, classic, brick oven pie. Keep up the great
work.

-Chris Briglia

My Response:

Thanks, Chris. Ro's sounds like my kind of place.
