Brooklyn Democrat Group To Host Pizza Contest

Posted by Adam Kuban, April 21, 2005 at 12:00 PM

The Bridge and the Ridge: When you live in or visit Bay Ridge, there's almost no escaping a view of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (above left), but who'd want to. The Pour House, on the corner of 79th Street and Third Avenue—this reporter's former stamping grounds—will host a pizza contest Tuesday evening.

Bay Ridge–based political club Brooklyn Democrats for Change will be sponsoring a contest to find the best pizza in its neighborhood on Tuesday, April 26. Anyone interested in pizza or change—or both—will want to head to the Pour House (7901 Third Ave., at 79th St.) at 6 p.m. for this event, which is a fundraiser for the group.

Participating pizzerias will be Buon Gusto, Casa Calamari, La Sala, Nino’s, Pepinno's, Pete’s, Positano, Rocco’s, Verrazano, and Vesuvio.

I was asked to judge the pizzas in this contest but regretfully had to decline due to prior commitments. I hope to bring you the results of the contest afterward.

And because Slice is non-partisan, we will give equal time to any Republican groups sponsoring pizza contests. Just send us the press release.
