WHO HAS THE BEST PIZZA IN NORTHWEST OHIO?

That question will be answered on July 19th & 20th at the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce and Centennial Terrace’s 12th Annual Pizza Palooza presented by Grogan’s Towne Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, Charlie’s Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram and Sofo Foods! The event will take place at Centennial Terrace, 5773 Centennial Rd. Sylvania, Ohio on Friday, July 19th from 5pm - 11pm and Saturday, July 20th from 5pm - 11pm.

An estimated crowd of over 6,000 guests is expected to attend and vote for their favorite pizza restaurant in this annual contest featuring both people’s and judge’s choice awards. The twelve pizza vendors vying for the title of best pizza restaurant in Northwest Ohio include Bambino’s, Half Time, Romeo’s, Mama Mary’s, Vikings Pizzeria, Jet’s Pizza, J-Cups, Dandino’s, Bombay Kitchen, Hindsight Pizza, The V.I. and Mike’s Pizza! Guests will also be able to satisfy their sweet tooth at booths set up by Mayberry Ice Cream, Susie Lynne’s Lemonade and Olde Tyme Kettle Korn.

Voting will take place on location via iPad. Event-goers are given one vote for the duration of the event. Attendees can vote onsite both Friday and Saturday via iPad at the Voting Booth. Voting will close at 8:45PM Saturday and People’s Choice Awards will be awarded after votes are tallied!

The event is honoring long-time participant Jim Jacob, founder of J-Cups Pizza, who lost his battle with cancer in 2019 by presenting the 4th Annual “Jim Jacob Strength & Spirit Award.” The staff of the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce and Centennial Terrace will identify the individual, pizza vendor or sponsor who shows great sportsmanship, outstanding attitude, sense of comradery, and high integrity, all characteristics that Jim possessed each year at Pizza Palooza and in his daily character.

Palooza enthusiasts and music lovers will enjoy fabulous musical entertainment featuring local bands both Friday and Saturday evening.
