Hey Beijing Foodies: Give Us a Pizza Your Mind!

Hungry readers, take heed! The Beijinger's Pizza Cup is underway, and we need Your Two Cents in telling the city's diners who has the best pie in town.

We're seeking Beijing's true pizza lovers to share their dining experiences on what hits the spot and what does not.

All you need do is have an opinion and a few minutes to tell us about your favorite Beijing pizzerias by filling out our Pizza My Mind questionnaire here (alternatively, if you just can't stand online forms, send us an email with your entries (and a usable photo of you chowing down on a big pizza pie) to editor@thebeijinger.com).

What we need is for you to choose at least three different scenarios from the list below and tell us what your favorite pizza place (or restaurant that serves pizza) is in each of them. Describe the scenario in 4-5 sentences (aim for 50-100 words per entry). For each, tell us why this place is best for this situation.

The Scenarios:

  • For a date with a significant other
  • Fo an important business meeting where money is no object
  • For a pint out with the gang (aka when drinking is as important to the evening as eating)
  • For home delivery when you're too lazy to make dinner
  • For when you need to make the kids happy
  • For the end of the month when you are worried about the budget
  • For when you are introducing friends who have never tried pizza before
  • For when you want a taste of home
  • For when you feel like something different
  • For when you want a pizza but your dining companion wants something else (or vice-versa)

Choose a different restaurant for each of your three scenarios. If you don't have three, look to choose another combination of scenarios in which your choices would be different. 

You can get a taste of what we're looking for by browsing last year's responses here.
