BRIDGEPORT — Who’s got the best slice of pizza in Bridgeport?

We’ll find out from 6-9 p.m. Wednesday at the Co-Prosperity Sphere, where a champion of gooey goodness will be crowned in the “Get Sliced!” Best Pizza in Bridgeport Contest.

On the pizza pie fight card are some of the neighborhood’s favorite joints: Freddies, Connie's, Ricobene’s, Phil’s, The Duck Inn, Lina’s and Mangia Fresca.

Hosted by Lumpen Radio — the same group that brought us Bridgeport's Got Beef Contest —  the competition will be judged by a panel of seasoned pizza nerds, including: ABC7’s Hungry Hound, Steve Dolinsky, former Ald. James Balcer, Reader food critic Mike Sula, and Nicole C. Lynn of the neighborhood’s legendary Jefee’s Pizzeria.

Reporter Ed Komenda talks about digging into another tough assignment.

Tickets to attend are $30. Everyone who buys a ticket will get a sample of each pizza and a chance to vote for the best in the neighborhood.

Get your tickets here.

The contest will be broadcast live on WLPN Lumpen Radio. All proceeds go to Public Media Institute, the non-profit behind WLPN 105.5.
