Bottega Claims Victory in a Historic Pizza Cup Championship
advertisement
For the first time since the creation of the Beijing Pizza Cup in 2011, voters have chosen a champion in a live taste-off as the Final Four contenders battled it out at the home of the cup's official beer sponsor, Boxing Cat Brewery. Each put up a valiant effort, but only one could come out on top: Italian-style pizzeria Bottega reclaimed its crown for the first time since 2016.
Bottega celebrates a victory well earned
As the five sessions kicked off, each of the four competitors were roughly even in vote count. After the second session, Bottega and Q Mex stayed roughly neck-and-neck with a clear lead over Great Leap Brewing and Pizza Saporita. In the end, however, Saporita managed to climb its way back in the polls, landing just two votes over Q Mex at a count of 117. That landed Saporita the respectable slot of second place after taking the crown last year. Still, Bottega bested them all and took the cup with 161 votes.
The event was proof that pizza brings people together
Many ballots were cast, only one winner was chosen

Meanwhile, tasters had a blast at Boxing Cat, downing beers and pizza with equal delight while also taking part in our quiz that tested their knowledge of Beijing's pizza scene. The winning table at each session snagged a bottle of wine per person, courtesy of the Cup's sponsor, JSS Delivery, which happens to be a great app to order pizza, wine, or just about anything else you're craving.
And if you're not craving pizza yet, you will be after you browse the pics of the taste-off below.
