Tonight: The Third Annual South Philly Review Pizza Olympics

Though we’re still a year away from the London 2012 Summer Olympics, lucky Philadelphians get to experience the next best competition tonight at Penns Landing Caterers (1301 S. Columbus Blvd.). From 6 to 9 p.m., the South Philly Review will host its third annual Pizza Olympics. (Last year's event was featured in Drew Lazor's Philly July 2010 pizza story "Waiting for Good Dough.")

For $10, you’ll be able to taste an unlimited assortment of slices from more than 15 of Philly’s top pizzerias and vote on your favorite in a number of categories. There will also be discounted beer and drink specials, music by DJ Russ Ferrante and raffles for prizes, including gift certificates to AmeriKick, Macy’s, McFadden’s at Citizens Bank Park, Wondergy and more. All proceeds from the raffles will go to the Katie Kirlin Fund, which provides financial support for children participating in wheelchair sports for children throughout the Philadelphia area. This is the one event where pigging out just means you’re taking your judging position seriously, so eat up. A full list of participant pizzerias after the jump.
