Pizza-makers in stand-alone pizzerias, restaurants, hotels, or fast food outlets and franchises are invited to join the challenge and create a delicious pizza recipe with a difference – the recipe that will captivate the panel of internationally-recognised chefs who will judge the recipes on their originality, balance, creativity, and, most importantly, on their \u201cexcitement factor\u201d.<\/p>\n

About 30 finalists will be selected and invited to recreate their recipes at the nail-biting cook-off at Hostex, in Johannesburg, in March.<\/p>\n

This year pizza-lovers are also invited to join in the action by encouraging their local pizzeria to enter the Global Pizza Challenge. If their nominated pizzeria wins the challenge, they will win a year\u2019s supply of pizza.<\/p>\n

The 2014 winner of the challenge in South Africa was Montague resident Colin du Plessis, whose intriguing winning recipe was a roasted butternut, beetroot and garlic pizza, sprinkled with sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds and topped with rocket, avocado and smoked buffalo mozzarella, drizzled with a red grape balsamic reduction.<\/p>\n

Pizza making is a \u201cdistinguished, passionate and noble livelihood\u201d said the Global Pizza Challenge South Africa website, and entering the competition ”will help advance pizza’s quality, diversity and popularity, globally.\u201d<\/p>\n
