For the fourth year in a row, the Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board is pitting pie against pie. After the organization called for nominations of people’s favorite pizza places on social media in February, the list was narrowed down from hundreds to 64 contenders and voting began March 1.

This year, the VFTCB created a map for people to visit all 64 pizza shops. Places also competed based on different categories, as opposed to regions:

· PepperBronis

· Big Cheese

· Sauce Bosses

· Doughboys

The pizza shops also received a marketing kit, delivered by hand in a pizza box carton. Inside were giveaway magnets, a pad of tear-off voting requests to accompany customers’ checks, a poster to advertise the tournament in or outside the store, and a copy of Crave, the VFTCB’s award-winning dining guide.

The tournament began in 2016 when the VFTCB’s social media pages got heated over a list of recommended pizza shops, and the organization took the opportunity to create a community-involved contest with the March Madness-style bracketed competition, originally pitting 32 pizza places against each other.

The 2019 Montco’s Best Pizza Tournament will close on April 10. Once results are tabulated, the winner will receive an engraved plaque mounted on a wooden pizza paddle as a trophy. All votes are cast online at valleyforge.org/pizza.
