Pizza is one of those culinary creations that seems simple enough, but is a beast with countless combinations, and everybody has their particular preferences. This weekend, you can weigh in on which local shop makes the best pie.

The Irondequoit Pizza Challenge takes place Saturday, January 26, 4-6 p.m. Pizza shops from the Irondequoit area will battle it out "dough to dough" and the community will decide who has the best pizza. Two Ton Tony's is the reigning overall champion, and will return this year to defend its title.

The event takes place at Summerville Presbyterian Church (4845 St. Paul Blvd., near Lakeshore Boulevard), and admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, $3 for children under 12, and $15 for families (four members). Proceeds will benefit Summerville Presbyterian Church. For more information, call Linda Hayes at 738-6685 or visit summervillechurch.org.
