Pizza Wars: Italy Meets Guyana

Georgetown just hosted its first-ever Guyana Cup Pizza-Making Competition, where Italian tradition met Guyanese flair in a dazzling culinary showdown. Ten chefs battled it out in two categories—Traditional Neapolitan and Guyanese Gourmet—judged by Pizza World Champions and even government ministers. Backed by the EU and Italian Embassy, the event celebrated food as a universal language, blending heritage with local innovation. With a $300,000 prize for the gourmet winner, it spotlighted food’s role in tourism and economic growth. Alex Tenorio won Neapolitan honors and will represent Guyana at a global championship in Argentina in 2026, while Lisa Hamilton claimed the top prize in the Guyanese Gourmet category, taking home the cash and championship cup.
