Last Chance to Vote in the Cheesy Pizza Cup 2023 Opening Round!

You’ve got one more day to vote in the opening round of the Beijinger’s Cheesy Pizza Cup 2023!

Results from this round will be tallied tomorrow (Jan 12) at noon and we will then announce who has made it into Round 64 along with the four brackets for the rest of the competition.

The opening round is the most important part of the Cheesy Pizza Cup because it gives you the chance to vote for your favorite pizza purveyor so that they can continue on into the seeded brackets from Round 64 onward. After that, the 64 pizza joints that make it through will go head-to-head and battle it out until just one remains – the 2023 Cheesy Pizza Cup champion!

This first round will also rank the remaining pizza restaurants that didn’t make it into the top 64, ranking them from 65 to 100 based on votes earned.

Here are the dates to remember going forward:

  • Seeding Round: Open now!
  • Round of 64: Jan 12
  • Round of 32: Jan 16
  • Sweet 16: Jan 20
  • Elite Eight: Jan 31
  • Final Four: Feb 6
  • Final Taste-Off: TBA
