For the 4th year in a row, Ricetta's Brick Oven Pizzeria has partnered with Maine's Good Shepard Food Bank to sponsor a search to find Maine's Next Best Pizza! Two cook-offs were held within the restaurant with many interested community members coming out to taste and vote. The creator of the winning pizza the received $500 cash and their pizza is featured on the new menu and offered to customers both in house and take out.
With "Maine's Next Best Pizza"
that is ordered, Ricetta's donates
$1 to the Good Shepherd Food Bank.
Past winning pizzas have sold over 1,200 times in the year of their title, generating significant contributions to the Food Bank. Ricetta's encourages the public to visit their Falmouth location to taste the winning pizza and participate in this ongoing fundraiser.
Ricetta's would like to thank all the participants who joined in the fun. As with any contest, there is only one winner, but in the process, we tasted 10 very delicious and creative pizzas!
Ricetta's would also like to thank their celebrity judges, Cindy Williams from Channel 6 news, Kiley Bennett from Channel 13 news, Brian Petrovik from the Portland Pirates, Bob Fisk from Maine Friends of Animals, Joe Ostwald, our first annual Maine's Next Pizza Contest winner, and our 3 representatives from Good Shepherd Food Bank, Rick Small, Christine Force and Melissa Glenn.
