PARSIPPANY — The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany held its first annual Pizza Challenge on Friday, May 29, at the Parsippany PAL.
The event featured six Parsippany pizza establishments, which participated on a first come, first served basis. Tickets were sold for $15.00 each as a fundraiser for the club, and over 90 attendees turned out for the challenge.
Each attendee sampled pizza from all six establishments before voting for their favorite in the contest. Valentino’s Pizza, located at 7 N. Beverwyck Road in Lake Hiawatha, received the most votes.
In addition, since Kiwanis serves the children of the world, the club held a second Pizza Challenge for children. Kids also got to sample pizza and vote for their favorite establishment, with Palermo’s Pizzeria, located at 3045 U.S. Route 46 in Parsippany, taking first place in the children’s contest.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany would like to thank all participating pizza establishments: Parsippany’s Best Pizza, Jefry’s Pizza, Tabor Pizzeria, Valentino’s Pizza, Palermo’s Pizzeria, and Baldwin Pizzeria, for taking part in this exciting fundraiser.
