We're thrilled to kick off the 4th annual Pizza Industry Excellence (PIE) Awards. Designed to honor independent pizzeria operators and help celebrate their business accomplishments, the PIE Awards offer seven categories covering a broad array of food service business disciplines.  

All entries must be submitted online; we will not accept hard copies of entries. 

Step 1. Read the rules before getting started with your entry.

The Rules page explains how to enter, the cost of entry and categories for this competition.  

Step 2. Create a login that will save all your entry information.

To access the entry form, you must first create a login. Once you create a login, you will arrive on Part One of the entry form — the rules page.
