As every year, I truly am hoping our fun won't be spoiled this year either because some of us have some big ideas for next year's event!

I suggest for next year: Create a new topic.
For those who haven't followed the event in previous years, it can become very difficult to analyze the topic.

Anyway, keep up the excellent work! Thanks.

I will repeat what I've said in previous years: This is supposed to be a fun little* event. If someone tries to ruin the fun they will likely be disqualified anyway. And if this stops being fun for people it will stop being organized.
Let's call this a social experiment with prizes. From the start, I didn't want to create rules for every conceivable case, caveat and exemption. There is no  such thing as a perfect system anyway.
So far nobody ruined our fun and am hoping this will continue this year!

* This is not such a little event anymore. Las year we had a record 50 entries, now over double that... 113 pizzas! Thank you @John Abraham for you help in posting the (many) entries that were missing.

I think the voting system should be changed as it's really funny at the moment (because some of the pizzas on display are culinary arts). But at the same time, these pizzas did not receive due attention. I see that in the discord all pizzas got 1 vote each while two pizzas got 10 votes each (to be honest I think someone texted friends or something like that).
Yes. They did. The Irony is that they did not ask their friends to review other pizzas and vote if they liked them. In such a way, Voting can be manipulated. But, As long as I remember, asking your friends to vote for you is allowed. Last year fillippone posted in the Wo thread and invited WO Bros to vote, if I am not wrong. That's more acceptable. But, when you ask your friends to vote for you in private, people with the worst pizza with a big friend circle could win the competition.

It's not about the prize at all, I just wanted to speak out because I think that the organizer of the competition should have chosen, say, the 10 best pizzas (in own subjective opinion). And then put them to a vote. I am sure that in this case sponsorship contributions would be much more significant and I also took care of it.
Well, This is the fourth year, and the the last three seasons were fair (If I am not wrong). I don't think the organizer expected that much submission or exposure this year. Since everyone was doing fair, he might think this year it will be like those as well. I think asking your friends to vote should not be allowed because they will vote only for you. But, the problem is you cannot monitor it. You would never know if someone asked their friends to vote for them. Your Suggested Idea is not bad. But, then other participants may get disappointed because they might think their effort wasted.

I guess I've seen poll voting system in either Pie Baking contest or Pumpkin Curving contest. How is that worked in your opinion?

Yes I did.
Last year I posted on the WO about pizza contest, and saying to everybody to vote for their favourite pizza, not explicitly mine.
As the contest has grown in popularity I would say it is a nice improvement having a  “round robin” phase followed by a final phase. More complicated to organize, but maybe more fun!

Probably too late for this year, but worth considering for next edition!

Icopress is right about this.


Also some pizzas have multiple photos, I remember only 1 photo in the rules.

The Contest Is over! It's Time to update the Pizza gallery.
** The Gallery Format stolen from ChiBitCTy

Thanks, fillippone for sorting out the first column issue.

This is all 113 Submissions in one Gallery. I skipped some Submissions, and the reason is explained in this post. Feel Free to check the detailed explanation. Everyone is Supposed to submit their Submission On the Discord Server. But, Some of us didn't. So, I worked with Cyrus to gather them all On the Discord Server. Look like 110 Submissions on the Discord Server. I missed three random Submissions. It would be helpful if you check your submission and check if your pizza is there. I will update the post.

Edit: I just updated all of them. I am not sure who is rajput On the Discord server. I was unable to find his Pizza in this thread. If you are seeing this, Feel free to DM me.

Note From Cyrus: Due to smashing our previous 50 pizza record from ⁠pizza-day-event-2022, we hit an arbitrary Discord limit of 50 pins/channel. Thank you to everyone that participated and to theymos, Betnomi, @John Abraham and, of course, Laszlo for buying those pizzas!

Please check All three Channels of the Pizza Day event 2023 and vote.

Channel 1: pizza-day-2023-1 https://discord.com/channels/708770300199698526/1110277685940342844

Yo! Member


The contest is over! It's been amazing... we had a record 50 pizzas last year and this year we likely doubled it!
Are you going to do home delivery ? Grin

I would like thin crust, extra cheese with lots of red onions and jelapeno pickles on top.

Unfortunately, this is a problem. It was stated and repeated that the contest is taking place on Discord, like in previous years. However, this is not the first time it happened. If you look at the pinned messages in the #pizza-day-event-2022 channel you will see that I posted the entries for the people that did not post in Discord.

I'd really appreciate it if someone has the time to help out with that this year!

Understandably, some of us are not here to compete against pizza legends! But the effort is worth participating in the contest. I won't mind posting them on the Discord server since you asked. We have almost two more hours to go. Let's see if we see more submissions from members. I will update the pizza gallery and post it here once the time is up. Then I will start posting them on the Discord server. Since you asked, Can you help me clarify one thing?

What if we got submissions after the mentioned period? Should I submit them on the Discord Server? Or I should be strict with the rules? Let's say you answered submit them as well, how long I should do it? People may submit all day!  Cheesy

It would be awesome if you could post them on Discord! TBH, since everybody is here to have fun... IF there's someone late by an hour or two I'd be inclined to let them participate.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza day 2023

Hopefully I'm still not too late in celebrating the Bitcoin Pizza Day Contest.

This is my pizza entry, even though no one sells pizza where I live because I live in a village, I still try to make pizza with the help of YouTube.

So many more pizzas (and various other things  Cheesy) than I expected! I have quite a few mouthwatering favorites in mind but I'm really curious who you will vote this year's winner!


Only 21 Hours left. We have over 90 submissions in this thread, while the Discord server has only 26 Submissions. I encourage everyone to upload their pizza on the Discord server's dedicated event channel #pizza-day-event-2023.

Discord Server Invitation Link: https://discord.gg/ahgHyku
I haven't seen a lot of entries on the discord server till now. They might have thought that the contest if forum based, whereas it is not. Voting will happen on discord and if any participant does not upload the picture on discord then their efforts would get wasted.

Very Special Homemade Pizza for Bitcoin-Pizza Day Event

Thanks God, finally finished making this special pizza for a very special event - Bitcoin-Pizza-Day, especially since this is the last day to submit.



Honestly, this is my first making Pizza.   Grin Grin
With high self-confidence, I finally decided to take part in this contest by making my own pizza, of course, with the help of a tutorial from YouTube Videos, with limited ingredients, only a frypan, not a microwave or oven or special pizza stove.  Cheesy

And this is the first pizza I made, I already imagined it would be very beautiful and attractive like pizza in general, which has a sausage crust.  Cool Cool

Here's the step-by-step (btw, btw I'm so sorry, not all ingredients and steps are photographed).).

and


Initially, I was very confident that I could make pizza that looked attractive and tasted super delicious, like the pizza I've ordered several times. However, in fact, reality often doesn't match expectations haha  Grin Cheesy Grin Grin
Too difficult for me....

Look at how the shape of this pizza is, very far from what I imagined, not even just the shape, it doesn't even taste like pizza. I think I made the pizza dough too thick, and it burned the bottom.  Grin Grin Grin Cheesy Shocked Shocked

The shape of the pizza is even more attractive before baking...


It felt really unexpected, beyond very high expectations.  Shocked
Instead of being irresponsible, I finally tried to make it again using the remaining little dough. With a slightly different shape and the dough made thinner.


And finally, here is the second Pizza:


I'm satisfied enough with this Pizza, although maybe not as good as other Bitcointalk members. however, I feel very happy to be able to create it and participate in it.

Happy Bitcoin-Pizza-Day
Thanks so much for this opportunity.

Finally the pizza is ready to eat:



Everyone in the forum is enjoying Pizza Day now.  More or less everyone is joining the Pizza Day contest.  Everyone in the forum is making pizza with great joy.  This creates a new experience for everyone.  I am very happy to join such a contest at this place.

Quoted for visibility of others and yes you can use this site to upload images as it's developed for forum users after other sites blocked the images from third party sources.

Rest best of luck to all participants for this contest.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza day everyone!

I cooked pizza on Bitcoin Pizza day, took a photo, but forgot to post it here. And today I accidentally stumbled upon this topic again, and saw that I still have time to share my culinary skills.  Grin

I tried to carve the bitcoin logo with a knife, it always failed because the cheddar cheese was so soft and brittle, I wasn't good enough to see it.  Cry
Imho, cheddar is not the best solution for bitcoin pizza due its high fat percentage meaning it can't handle the oven heat good and will melt very fast.

I've been making bitcoin themed pizza for years and experimented with all sort of cheeses; from cheddar, gouda, ementaler, harvati, edam, milner and many others to even halloumi which is known for its resistance to heat (thats why its usually grilled), but imho taste doesn't fit pizza good).

Through trial and error I realized that Milner showed the best results as it was a yellow cheese that generally goes well on pizza, and most importantly its not too fat, meaning it can handle oven heat (up to 200 degrees for 7-8 minutes) while keeping consistency so for the next year bakeoff I suggest you to try with that one.

Few examples from previous years, done with milner cheese.
