Winning Application Excerpt and Judge’s Insights
Application Question:
Tell us how this operation has helped support or improve its local community.
“We’ve sponsored little league and youth sports teams for 30+ years and offered local teachers half-price for pizza for 30+ years. We’ve been donating pizza for 20+ years to the local runaway shelter, so those kids can have a pizza night, too. We donate pizzas to monthly meetings of a support group for family and friends of recovering addicts. We installed solar panels for part of our energy needs and volunteer to help educate others on how to go solar. And for the past 20 years during the holidays, we drive around rewarding everyone who brightens the neighborhood and their home with decorations and lights with a pizza gift certificate. And ultimately, by simply trying to have a nice, sincere pizzeria with great food that the neighborhood can be proud of.”

Application Question:
Tell us about yourself, your team and your business.
“From the outside, we look like your normal small-town gas station. But once you walk inside, you’ll see we’re much more than that. With a specialty coffee/tea/smoothie shop to the left, your typical gas station in the middle, and if you turn to your right and walk into the next room, you’ll see our pizza parlor. Decked out in small-town memorabilia, with new and old, iconic signatures, boxing gloves, Kentucky Derby frame, footballs, and even a signed guitar from Ted Nugent and our local celebrity, Ryan Dirteater, the “Cherokee Kid” PBR champion, items plastered along the walls. We make our dough in-house, along with our sauce, and people have traveled from all over to come through our “speed trap” town, slow down, fuel up, and fill up with delightful food, convenience, and caffeine. We’re much more than a gas station; we’re a place where three different types of customers get the chance to cross paths and gather. Local members of our community come from work, school, or just to converse, and travelers stopping through get to experience a small-town family business doing our best to spread kindness, supply jobs, and give back to our community every chance we get.”

Celebrate what makes your business stand apart.

Application Question:
What makes this pizza operation stand out from others?
“We are an inner-city pizzeria and stand out as a long-time champion and contributor to the neighborhoods we serve. Plus, we make our own dough (and even make dough for other restaurants), cut our own vegetables, blend our own sauce and offer a veritable cornucopia of traditional and gourmet pizzas.”
