We can assure you, Smile Politely is not participating in April Fool’s Day today. This is a real bracket, just in case you haven’t been following along for the last couple of weeks, as we’re deep in our Pizza Tournament. This past week, we threw down on the Elite Eight, which brought us to a match up of all four 1-seeds: Pizzeria Antica, Papa Del’s, Old Orchard, and Manolo’s. All wonderful pizzas for very different reasons.
To recap, here were the articles about Round of 32 and Sweet 16.
Vote below for what you deem to be the best pizza for each matchup. We’re talking overall quality here, comprehensively, for each match up. Once again, this should be fun, so don’t take it too seriously. Try to remember we’re talking about pizza here.
As always, if you have questions, or simply want to give us a piece of your mind, contact us at [email protected].
Follow along on our social media channels to see progress as the tourney moves forward. Voting for this round closes Sunday, April 3rd at 5:00 p.m. CST. Thanks for participating and enjoy!
