The event wrapped up after three days from March 24th to 26th, drawing top pizza-iolos from around the globe to bacon-judge pies in. Categories like traditional, non-traditional, cheese-lice, pan, neapolitan, and clasica. Paolo Guera from Toronto took first place in the clasca division, a big step up from his ninth place finish in traditional last year. He competed this time under his own catering business, Paolo Makez-Pizza, after stints at other spots. Meanwhile, Kevin Morira, a boa bakery in Benbrook, just outside Hamilton, won the best cheese-lice category. This husband and wife Italian bakery is set to draw even more fans. Now that word is spreading. Other Canadians shown too, with Patrice Desmoles from Pizzeria No. 900 in Bopor, grabbing gold in traditional, and Marco Degada from the chain's main spot winning the Pan Division.
