Montgomery County Pizzeria Defends ‘Best Pizza' Tournament Crown

Montco's Best Pizza Tournament ends with a familiar Green Lane restaurant coming out on top

A passenger was found dead in the bathroom of a Greyhound bus at a Dallas maintenance facility Wednesday morning, authorities said.

A tiny pizza place came up big again in Montgomery County's Best Pizza Tournament.

For the second-straight year, Chiaro's Pizzeria of Green Lane beat back all other pizza places to win the Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board's Best Pizza Tournament, a March Madness bracket that pitted some of the county's best pizzerias against one another to see which pie would reign supreme.

Chiaro's turned to Instagram to acknowledge everyone who helped them taste victory.

"We would like to thank everyone who participated in this wonderful friendly competition and to all the friends, customers, family and fellow competitors for making this a great community building experience," the pizzeria wrote in an overnight post.

Chiaro's didn't have an easy road to the top as they had many close battles leading up to the final against Angelo's Pizza of King of Prussia. A late push left Chiaro's with 52.2 percent of the final vote.
