Denton County Mayoral Pizza Cook-Off Aug 23rd

Denton County mayors are vying for the best pizza creation while raising money for charities.
August 23, 2023. Location: Motor City Pizza, 1425 FM 407, Lewisville. 4:30 – 7:00pm

Each participating Mayor will be given a Detroit Style dough (or hand tossed round or gluten-free if they
prefer) with cheese already on it. The mayor’s job is to create the pizza with the toppings of their choice. Any topping that is on the menu will be available to each mayor. If a mayor would like to create something with ingredients that we do not have, we ask that mayor to bring that specialized ingredient.

There will be house marinara, our house alfredo, and other dressings and drizzles (ranch, chipotle ranch, Mike’s Hot Honey, Greek dressing, etc.). Any other sauce or dressing not on our menu, that a mayor would like to use, will be brought by them.
