Why it matters: We're launching this week-long endeavor in celebration of back-to-school — and to give parents an excuse to order out at least once this week.
State of play: We asked readers last week to send recs for the best pizza in town, and boy did y'all deliver.
Nearly 500 responses came through, from self-described "diehard NY pizza snobs" to fans of local "non-yuppy" and "Richmond-style" options.
Stunning stat: In all, y'all recommended 75 separate pizza joints for our bracket, including roughly 66 locally owned options.
We whittled it down to 16 (sorry, not sorry, we voted Little Caesars out).
So here we go.
How it works: Vote for your favorite pizza joint daily.
We'll share the winner the next day and keep the party rolling all week.
The floor is yours. Vote here! We'll close our first round at 3pm.
