YOU WANNA PIZZA ME? BATTLE
April 4th through May 26
Announcing the first ever, “You Wanna Pizza Me?” Battle on April 4th. It’s comprised of a series of head-to-head team battles to create the most creative and delicious pizza. The teams will be made up of local celebrities and Huntersville and Charlotte community leaders. There will be six teams, three battles, plus one final “battle royale.” Pizza sales determine the winner, with the majority of proceeds benefiting local charities.
Each team will select a Charlotte-headquartered charity that it will be competing on behalf of. During the battles, Parry’s will donate $5 per battle pizza sold, with a $500 minimum donation to each charity. The overall winning team will earn a trophy, the honor of having their pizza listed on Parry’s menu, and $1 per pizza for the remainder of 2018 to their charity.
“You Wanna Pizza Me?” kicks off with a battle of some of the city’s most influential and well-known foodies — food bloggers and social media influencers — versus members of the Huntersville fire and police departments. Each team will create and name their pizza.
