Georgio's Pizza wins PizzaFest, Best of the Fox for sixth consecutive year
CRYSTAL LAKE, IL – The saying, “when it rains it pours” holds no truer meaning than to a local pizza chain that started about 10 years ago in downtown Crystal Lake. This summer, Georgio’s Pizza (75 E. Woodstock in Crystal Lake, IL & 100 W. Higgins in South Barrington, IL), has been crowned “Best Chicago Style Pizza” at the annual Chicago PizzaFest and “Best Pizza” in McHenry County for the 2012 Best of the Fox Awards in a matter of weeks.
The Chicago Pizza Fest returned after a three-year hiatus to celebrate the Windy City's love of all things pizza. This third annual festival took place from June 16 - 17, 2012 in the Uptown neighborhood, where the attendees judged the city’s best thin crust, deep dish, and other gourmet pies.
“Winning ‘Best Chicago Style Pizza’ was a big deal for us,” says Georgio’s president Brian Coli. “Many people associate pizza with Chicago, so to be known for having the best Chicago Style pizza in Chicago is a wonderful honor.”
The award-winning pizza is a staple in the northwestern suburban communities – the Chicago-style deep dish and crispy crust thin pizzas are true fan favorites.
A record 363,159 votes were cast in four weeks for the 2012 Best of the Fox competition, which is sponsored by the Northwest Herald every spring. Readers expressed their support for McHenry County’s favorite “restaurants, retail outlets, doctors, service providers and other local businesses,” according to Dan McCaleb, editor of the Northwest Herald.
When Coli was asked why he believes Georgio’s received the coveted “Best of the Fox” honor for the sixth year in a row, he stated, “I think it’s just a testament to the community we serve. We care about the consistency and the quality of our pizza, and it does not go unappreciated.”
