MOODY In the quest for Bama’s Best Pizza, a trio of judges discovered saucy, cheesy, crusty pie perfection worthy of the title at Carpenetti’s Pizzeria in Moody.
Owner Frank Carpenetti and family earned bragging rights in the contest, in addition to a plaque and cash prize. The Bama’s Best Pizza winner will also be featured on “Simply Southern TV” Season 7.
Contest sponsors were the Alabama Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association (AFVGA) and Alabama Farmers Federation Dairy Division whose members grow ingredients that make pizza possible.
“It’s just awesome,” Carpenetti said. “It’s like winning the Super Bowl. I want to thank all my customers and everyone who voted for me. I was on pins and needles all weekend.”
