YEA BLACK ROCK PIZZA!!!

this was in yesterday's Reno Gazette Journal:




Black Rock Pizza Co. in Sparks has been selected as one of eight finalists in the Pizza Festiva pizza contest for the upcoming International Pizza Expo April 1-3 in Las Vegas. The other seven finalists are from Australia, Utah, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Indiana.

The eight finalists will square off on April 1 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and be narrowed to four; then the four finalists will compete again at the convention center on April 2. The winner will receive the 2008 Gourmet Pizza of the Year award, as well as a check for $5,000.

"They selected our Poker Brown pizza," said Dave Winchester, who co-owns Black Rock Pizza with his wife, Linda.

Poker Brown pizza has Thai sauce, sun dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, red bell peppers, green onions, celery, habanero jack cheese and fried noodles.

Black Rock Pizza Co. is at 2855 N. McCarran Blvd., No. 106 in the Sparks Mercantile shopping center at McCarran Boulevard and Pyramid Way.

It's good to know which pizza we're going to try on our next visit! I don't think this is one we've tried yet. I have had the Thai Yoyo and that one was scrumtrulescent.
