CORY'S FAVORITE PIZZAS - January 2012

As the owner of Two Guys And A Pizza Place, I get asked a lot what my favorite pizza on the menu is!
The truth is it changes... monthly, daily, hourly, whatever! I love pizza!
Sometimes I feel like a sweet pizza, sometimes spicy, sometimes a classic with meat will do... or I'll have one of our gourmet creations!


Here is my TOP TEN list (kinda, usually, depends.... this is hard!)
**2 of these are off our new menu - coming in APRIL 2012! Don't order them yet! Sorry!

1. Soprano
    - roasted garlic alfredo, spinach, mozza, chicken, artichoke hearts, banana peppers, feta, fresh basil, and fresh tomato... I threw this on the menu because I ate it almost daily! And I still love it!


2. Sweet Canoe
    - spicy pizza sauce, pepperoni, ham, mozza, teriyaki steak, bacon, cheddar... Great for dinner, but especially awesome for late night snack, or for a nasty hangover!


3. Italian Club (NEW!)

    - basil pesto, pancetta, capicollo, provolone, onion, fresh tomato, fresh arugula and parmesan flakes, balsamic glaze... This will be on the menu that comes out in April 2012. It is sooooo awesome!

4. The Roadhouse
   - ranch, mozza, chicken, bacon, red peppers, cheddar...  "Canada's Best" from 2008, this pizza has always been popular, and it's now our most popular pizza. We almost sold 10,000 last year! And I love it!


5. Louisiana Cajun Chicken
   - cajun sauce, monterey jack cheese, chicken, bacon, jalapenos, green peppers, cheddar, topped with fresh cilantro and parmesan... "Canada's Best" for 2012, it's awesome!

6.Sicilian
   - spicy tomato sauce, salami, mozza, provolone, italian sausage, prosciutto, fresh cilantro, fresh parmesan...Sometimes I feel like a meaty pizza, but I still want some Italian flavor to it! And the fresh cilantro is awesome!

7. Monterey Chicken
   - alfredo sauce, Monterey Jack cheese, chicken, mushrooms, bacon, chives, cheddar... This is a great pie! It tastes like a gourmet pasta, but on a pizza crust! Monterey Jack cheese is my favorite!

8. Tandoori Chicken Pizza
    - Mango Chutney, Tandoori Chicken, Mozza, Green Peppers, Chives, Cheddar, with tzatziki drizzled all over it!... A great pizza! We competed with this pizza in Vegas in 2009 and it did really well.

9. Chicken Jambalaya
    - Tomato Alfredo Sauce, Mozza, Cajun Chicken, Shrimp, Sausage, Green and Red Peppers, Onion, and Cheddar... This pizza doesn't sell much, but I can't take it off the menu! I love it! This was the first pizza I ever competed with in Vegas.

10. Pulled Pork Pizza (NEW!)
    - BBQ sauce, pulled pork, banana peppers, red onions, garlic aoili, cilantro... Coming on the new menu in April 2012. I think I like it because it's new right now, but it is really good! The garlic and cilantro are great on it!

Honorable mentions 

Buffalo Chicken Rancheros
    - especially when I feel like a spicy "Roadhouse". I usually add feta.
Honey Almond Chicken
    - this is a very popular pizza, especially among ladies! It's not my favorite, but I am forced to eat it lots as   my wife and friends always order it!
Arriba! Arriba!
    - it's a mexican salad, on a pizza! It's great!
BBQ Chicken
    - This has been on the menu for 10 years, so maybe I don't eat it that much anymore... but it's still awesome!
Creamy Philly Cheesesteak (with banana peppers)
    -Great stuff! I wish more people would try it!

CANADA'S BEST PIZZA 2012!

CANADA'S BEST PIZZA 2012

Lousiana Cajun Chicken

 

We are really excited to be able to represent Canada in Las Vegas this year! We have applied to be Canada's Best Pizza almost every year, and this year they gave us the chance to compete. We overnight FedEx'd our dough, sauce, and toppings to Ontario, and they had a chef make our pizza for us in the finals. The judges loved it... and we won! Can't wait for Vegas! Here are the results, as posted on Canadian Pizza Magazine's website.

 MEDD CROWNED CHEF OF THE YEAR

Written by Canadian Pizza Magazine

December 14, 2011, Simcoe, ON - Cory Medd captured the 2012 Canadian Pizza magazine Chef of the Year sponsored by Saputo Foodservice and Moretti Forni Canada distributed by Faema Canada.

Medd, owner of Two Guys and a Pizza Place in Lethbridge, Alta., won the title with his ‘Louisiana Cajun Chicken’ pizza. His winning entry featured a traditional white dough dressed with Cajun sauce, mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey cheese, white chicken breast, Canadian bacon, hand cut green peppers, jalapenos, fresh cilantro and parmesan flakes.

For crafting the top recipe, Medd will receive a trip to Las Vegas, March 13 to 15, 2012, to attend the International Pizza Expo, plus $1,000. The prize includes flight, hotel, registration fee for Pizza Expo and the International Pizza Challenge, and a guaranteed spot in the non-traditional final.

"I am so grateful for this award and for the opportunity to represent Canada again at the International Pizza Challenge," said Medd. "The staff and myself appreciate Canadian Pizza magazine for recognizing the work we have put into our pizza for the last 10 years. This type of recognition is very motivating, and I look forward to another 10 years of serving revolutionary gourmet pizza to the community of Lethbridge."

Medd was one of three finalists in this year's bake-off, hosted by Moretti Forni Canada distributed by Faema Canada at their Euro-Milan Inc. location in Mississauga, Ont.

Last year's runner up, Marina Rondinelli of Rondo's and Pizza Plus in Bright's Grove, Ont., nabbed second place again this year. Her 'Backyard BBQ' pizza includes a dark hickory maple chipotle BBQ sauce, grilled chicken breast marinated in Caribbean jerk sauce, caramelized red onions, fire roasted sweet red peppers, roasted corn, portabella mushrooms roasted in garlic, hot banana peppers, and asiago, smoked provolone and mozzarella cheeses.

As runner-up, Rondinelli has also won a trip to the Expo and entry into the traditional final.

In third place was Richard Ames of Daddio's Pizzeria in Grand Prairie, Alta. His 'Pollo Loco' chicken pizza is made with ranch dressing, medium salsa, smoked chicken breast, red onions, red peppers, sliced jalapenos, mozzarella and medium cheddar cheeses.

On Dec. 13, professional pizza chef Joe Leroux, of Amadio's Pizza and winner of this year's Pizza with Purpose Award, was on hand at Euro-Milan Inc., baking each pie to his fellow pizzaiolos' specifications. Each pizza was scored by a panel of seven judges, including representatives from Canadian Pizza magazine and contest sponsors Saputo Foodservice and Moretti Forni Canada distributed by Faema Canada.

Stay tuned to Canadian Pizza magazine for more on the finalists' recipes and Chef of the Year Cory Medd, who will be featured on the cover following the International Pizza Expo in March.
