Warrington Guardian Best Of 2023: top ten pizza places revealed

One copy of the Warrington Guardian counts for five votes in the Best of 2023 competition so it’s time to have your say about who deserves the award for Warrington’s Best Pizza.

Since its launch in April, we’ve looked at hair and nails, pies and roast dinners, cocktails and breakfast before fitness and fish and chips.

Next on the menu was pizza – the cheesy topped dough that can be eaten hot or cold and we wanted to know where in Warrington we could go to find the perfect slice.

We were inundated with nominations and we’ve shortlisted the top ten, who will battle it out to be named Best for Pizza in Warrington.

Now we need your help to choose the winner from our ten shortlisted nominees.

There are three ways to vote:

1. Search for the Best for Pizza shortlist post on our Warrington Guardian Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages and comment under the post with the name of your winner = 1 vote

2. Name your favourite in the comments section on this article via our website = 2 votes

3. Purchase a copy of this week’s Warrington Guardian (Thursday, June 22 edition) and fill in the entry form = 5 votes
