PITTSBURGH, June 20 /PRNewswire/ — Vocelli Pizza, the authentic Italian pizza delivery chain, has been voted the “Best Pizza in Pittsburgh” for 2007 by the readers of Pittsburgh Magazine.  More than 1,000 voters responded to the 2007 annual readers’ poll and have ranked Pittsburgh based Vocelli Pizza the gold medal winner.  Vocelli Pizza has received this gold medal award for the pizza category five out of the last seven years.

Pennsylvania consistently ranks in the top five states in the U.S. for pizza shops per capita which makes pizza awards much harder to win.

“Even with an abundant number of great pizza shops in the Pittsburgh area, it is exciting to be voted the best in our home market of Pittsburgh again,” said Jim Powers, Vocelli’s Director of Marketing.  “Grazie to the people of Pittsburgh and to the hard work of our team members; this award is because of them,” Powers included.

Vocelli Pizza is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA and operates 140 east coast locations offering pizza and other Italian foods for carry-out and delivery.  The company has realized franchise growth from their award-winning product, low start-up costs and a cooperative marketing program.  Vocelli Pizza offers area development packages to qualified franchises.
