Anchovies + Goat Cheese Pizza for CPK Pizza Wars 2016

CPK PIZZA WARS (1 of 12)



Hawaiian Pizza probably is my default pizza flavour I usually order whenever I visit a pizza place. There are always other classic flavors to choose from and the new ones you would even think “how the hell do they thought of that!” And that’s just how a PIZZA Wars is supposed to deliver.

I guess this is one of the reason why CPK PIZZA WARS is created too!

California Pizza Kitchen has distinguised itself as a pizza authority attributable to its wide selection of innovative and artinasal pizzas. But more importantly, the secret behind the success of CPK here is, of course, the people behind it. Which is why, apart from showcasing the talents of our pizza cooks who are equally passionate about food as we are, we wanted to challenge them to take their culinary skill to the next level. And sure enough, they have proven to be up to that challenge,” said Archie Rodriguez, President and CEO of Global Resturant Concepts, Inc. (GRCI).

Creating a new pizza that would be included in the menu is why PIZZA WARS was created and for this years CPK Pizza Wars, CPK President and Global Concepts CEO Archie Rodriguez and Griffith Gothey along with celebrity chefs Sau Del Rosario and Sandy Daza, acts to be the judges.

Three new Pizza creations made it to the finals! Noel Araneta of CPK Greenbelt 5 presented his Cod with Mango Cucumber SalsaPizza. An Asian inspired dish with a mayo sweet chill sauce base, Goat cheese and Mozzarella, topped with fried codfish and special homemade mango cucumber salsa.

Jerric Venezuela of CPK Alabang brought out the boom by rolling out an amazing Dynamite Shrimp Pizza – a fiery fiesta of seafood and spices.

Lastly, Rodel Pico of CPK Bonifacio Global City created a fun and original twist with his Anchovies + Goat Cheese Pizza; combining the salty and savory distinctiveness of anchovies while softening it up with the sweetness if caramelized onions and green apples.

The final three – Noel, Jeric & Rodel

I personally like the Mango Cucumber SalsaPizza next was the Anchovies + Goat Cheese Pizza which in turn was announced as the winner for this season!
