State-wide Hand Tossing Challenge
We’re so proud of the old school way we throw our dough that we want to give our fellow pizzerias a chance to join us in the spotlight. It’s a friendly little competition to see how we measure up to the other guys in four categories: speed, size and style. Plus new for this year we have added box folding competition! We’ve sent invitations to other pizzerias around the state to send us their best. Are you a hand tosser who wants to strut your stuff? Get your wrists ready and show up by 2:30pm to enter.

Hands on a Eggplant Sub
You’ve seen the documentary where the Texas truck fanatics touched a Nissan hard body until the last one standing, won it? Well this is the same thing, except with an eggplant sub. Last year's contest went 13 hours, how long will it go this year? Last one touching the bun wins a Nintendo Wii!
