Pittsburgh, PA (RestaurantNews.com) Slice on Broadway, a Pittsburgh favorite with six locations across the region, made a strong impression at the 2025 California Restaurant Show in Anaheim, CA. Owner and U.S. Pizza Team member Rico Lunardi competed against some of the best pizza makers in the country – and walked away with multiple top honors.
Slice on Broadway earned:
- Second Place – Traditional Category with a classic pepperoni and mushroom pizza
- Third Place – Best Traditional Sauce
- Fourth Place – Three Cheese Pizza
“These awards hit home because they reflect the fundamentals – sauce, cheese, and a well-executed classic pie,” said Lunardi. “We’re honored to bring a taste of our pizza to the West Coast and represent Pittsburgh on a national stage.”
Lunardi competed alongside several fellow members of the U.S. Pizza Team, each showcasing their own unique take on America’s favorite food. A standout moment came when teammate Mike Pitera, of Pizza A Modo Mio in Charleston, South Carolina, earned First Place for Best Sauce. “If I had to lose to anyone, I’m glad it was my friend and teammate,” Lunardi said. “It was a great experience to compete with such talent and passion in one room. The level of creativity and dedication to craft was truly inspiring.”
