Pizza Cook-Off Association Would you like to compete and put your pizza up against others pizza enthusiasts to potentially take It's all about your gut feeling and taking that leap!

My name is Jerry Belcastro, and I live in McDonough Georgia, which is about 35 miles south of Atlanta. I am a previous Pizza and Italian restaurant owner & caterer, retired Regional Manager of International Catering for Delta Air Lines, a current certified judge for the Georgia BBQ Association (GBA), and a certified judge for the Steak Cookoff Association. I have also written for a local newspaper about restaurants throughout our county, a column named, “Restaurants, Reviews & Reveals”. So I suppose you can say food runs a little through my blood. As mentioned, I am a certified judge for the GBA and while judging several events, I learned about the Steak Cookoff Association. Since my background and love for cooking is Italian, I thought.....why not have a Pizza Cook-off Association? If you are not familiar with these weekend competitions, please look at the websites of The Georgia BBQ Association and the Steak Cookoff Association (SCA). What really enticed me about the SCA was that the entire event could take place in one day, as opposed to the BBQ competitions, which are 2 day events. And what really pushed me over the edge to launch my association was watching the History Channel show "The Food That Built America"....the episode of how Pizza Hut and Dominos got their start. My very supporting wife, Eva will be joining me in this endeavor. Hope this new Pizza Cook-off Association will spark your interest too!
