Mr. Pizza Dream Team Achieves Victory at the 'Online World Pizza Championship'

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] Amid various international competitions being canceled or communicating in new ways online due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Mr. Pizza Dream Team won first place at the World Pizza Competition.

Mr. Pizza announced on the 23rd that Dream Team member Kim Min-hyeok won first place at the 'Quarantine Pizza Games,' held online on the 14th.

The World Pizza Competition is usually held annually in Las Vegas, USA, but this year, due to COVID-19, it was held under the name 'Quarantine Pizza Games' via Instagram. Participants filmed about a one-minute dough performance video and uploaded it to their personal Instagram with required hashtags for judging.

Kim from the winning Dream Team showcased a dazzling performance by tossing the dough into the air and moving it freely to the beat of the music. In particular, the scene where he passed the dough between his legs like dribbling while blindfolded was considered the highlight of this video. Kim's performance received high praise from the judges, earning first place among 16 participants from six countries including Korea, the USA, and Japan.

He said, "I am pleased that as a domestic native pizza brand, our skills have been recognized on the world stage," and added, "We will continue to do our best to raise the status of Korean pizza as the leading dough master in Korea."

Meanwhile, Mr. Pizza is the only company in the domestic pizza industry to present a 'dough show' combining dough kneading and performance, bringing joy to customers. Since 2004, they have formed the 'Dream Team' dedicated to dough show performances, striving to promote the excellence of Korean pizza worldwide.
