Pizza Championship

Approximately 50 candidates are expected to participate, and since the championship takes place in a single day, registrations will be closed once the number of 70 participants is reached to avoid disrupting the smooth running of the event. The registration deadline must be at least 1 week before the competition to allow for the establishment of the participants' ranking, the drawing for the order of appearance, and the preparation of the evaluation sheets.
Each candidate will be judged and scored on a presentation of the Pizza prepared by them in all its stages, from dough preparation to baking and presentation, according to the criteria established by the jury beforehand. This jury will be chaired by Enrico Porzio, one of the iconic figures in the world of Pizza in Italy.
