The U.S. Pizza Team (USPT), sponsored by PMQ Pizza Magazine, has begun its search for the best pizzaioli in the country, who will vie for a chance to compete alongside the U.S. Pizza Team in the 2018 World Pizza Championship in Parma, Italy. The search will start off with the West Coast Pizza Trials at the beautiful Oceanside Harbor. Hosted by Dominic's Italian Restaurant, the trials are open to the first 20 pizza chefs to register. The competition will take place on August 8, 2017, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Brothers Tore (GM) and Faro Trupiano (Co-owner) of Dominic's have been working tirelessly to bring this regional event to life. Tore, who is a member of the USPT, spent the last year hyping the North San Diego Dominic's location for the event, and interest grew quickly.
