U.S. Pizza Team to Host West Coast Pizza Trials at Dominic’s Italian Restaurant in Oceanside, California
Oceanside, CA (PRWEB) July 28, 2017 -- The U.S. Pizza Team (USPT), sponsored by PMQ Pizza Magazine, has begun its search for the best pizzaioli in the country, who will vie for a chance to compete alongside the U.S. Pizza Team in the 2018 World Pizza Championship in Parma, Italy. The search will start off with the West Coast Pizza Trials at the beautiful Oceanside Harbor. Hosted by Dominic’s Italian Restaurant, the trials are open to the first 20 pizza chefs to register. The competition will take place on August 8, 2017, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Brothers Tore (GM) and Faro Trupiano (Co-owner) of Dominic’s have been working tirelessly to bring this regional event to life. Tore, who is a member of the USPT, spent the last year hyping the North San Diego Dominic’s location for the event, and interest grew quickly.
All competitors will be allowed to use only red sauce and must choose two toppings from a list of nine. They will provide their own dough, cheese and spices. Each contestant will make two pies, one for the judges and one for the crowd. All competitors will be judged on toppings, crust, appearance, creativity and overall taste and aroma.
During the competition, the crowd can indulge in wine/beer pairings and a sample of competition pizzas. The panel of judges will be made up of Chef stars and culinary professionals. After the winners are announced, all contestants will show off their talents in an Iron Chef-style competition. Chefs will create a pizza with ingredients of their choice, plus a secret ingredient decided by Dominic’s Italian Restaurant. Only 150 tickets for this event are available, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a local charity.
