Pizza Team members wow audiences in every corner of the U.S. and overseas.
Oxford, Miss. (May 6, 2008) – The U.S. Pizza Team has always been popular in the industry, but after the recent New York Pizza Show this past March, the team’s notoriety has risen to new heights and taken the team to locations across the nation and around the world to defend their titles and entertain the masses – all in the name of pizza.
With 15 members in all, the team tosses, sauces and spins with the best of the best in an effort to retain their titles of Best Pizza Maker, Largest Dough Stretch, Best Freestyle Dough Tosser and Fastest Pizza Maker. They’ve recently been seen on Good Morning America, Live with Regis and Kelly, the Today Show and Good Morning America, as well as in the pages of Fortune Small Business, New York Daily News, Orlando Sentinel and press in Finland, Germany and France.
In Paris recently for a competition, team member Scott Childers said, “The Paris people love the pizza spinning. We tore the town up and the cops even shimmied us off the streets because we were drawing too big of a crowd.”
