Marshall County is proud to announce the launch of the Northern Indiana Pizza Wars! The eight best Pizza Restaurants in the county will go head to head in a bracket style voting contest to decide who has the best Pizza in our county. The voting for Pizza War kicks off Friday, May 15, hosted on Marshall County Convention and Visitors Bureau’s website (http://www.visitmarshallcounty.org/things-to-do/pizzawars). The first round lasts ten days. Following the end of the first round, the next two rounds will take place over the weekend. The second round will be May 28-31 and the final county round will take place June 4-7. The winner of the best pizza in Marshall County will be announced June 7, and then go head to head against the winning restaurants from the other six counties that make up NITDC.
The eight restaurants that will be representing the best of our county are: Dickies at Swan Lake Resort, Granny’s, Evil Czech Brewery, The Wooden Peel, Culver Wings, Piazza’s, Bourbon Street Pizza, and Pizza Bills.
Let customers’ voices be heard! They can log in to vote each week to make sure their favorite restaurant gets the credit it deserves. Voters can keep checking the website and Marshall County’s social media pages and use the hashtag #PizzaWarsNI for a chance to win prizes through mini contests held throughout the voting process. Most importantly, voters are encouraged to sign in and vote each round for a chance to win the grand prize of $50 gift certificate to the winning restaurant announced at the end of the competition.
And the competition doesn’t end there! Marshall County Pizza Wars is running simultaneously with six other county Pizza Wars as part of the Northern Indiana Pizza Wars project. Northern Indiana Pizza Wars is a joint initiative of the Northern Indiana Tourism Development Commission (NITDC) and its member convention and visitors bureaus in Porter, LaPorte, St. Joseph, Marshall, Koscuisko, Elkhart and LaGrange counties. NITDC is the leading regional economic development authority focusing on sustainable tourism through effective partnerships.
The Northern Indiana Pizza Wars is a follow up from last year’s Burger Wars contest. After 60,000 votes cast, The View Tavern of South Bend was crowned the Burger Wars Champion for all of Northern Indiana.
