The grand winner of the competition, aside from bagging cash prize will be given an honor of having his winning creation to be included in CPK Philippines menu.

 
The recent CPK Pizza Wars 2017 Grand Finals was recently held at CPK Shangri-La branch.

Each participating pizza chef prepared their pizza innovation in front of the judges and the media.

The third place goes to Chef Jay mar dela Paz of CPK Promenade Greenhills. His entry was the Chicken Banh Mi Pizza that features a colorful aesthetic appeal with a prominent curry flavor brought about by the curry-mayo that the chef used as the base sauce of the pizza. Personally, I think that it in terms of flavor, it is more of curry rather than bahn mi. But it was good nonetheless.

The second place was awarded to Chef Danny Fernandez of CPK Greenbelt 5 with his creation, the Thai Beef Pizza. Honestly, this pizza was my personal favorite because the flavor was well-balanced and the presentation was really enticing. No wonder that it is only .25 point-short from winning the grand prize.

The grand price on the other hand was awarded to chef Rommel Panaligan of CPK Alabang. The winning pizza was the Garlic Cream Cheese Pizza.
