Perhaps a day late and a dollar short for the late Wallingford Pizza House, the Iron Bull (2121 N 45th St) is marking the visit of the Chicago Bears to Seattle by asking the burning question: “Who makes the best Chicago style pizza in Seattle?”

You be the judge!

On December 3rd at 7 pm, the Iron Bull will host a Chicago Style Pizza bake off, featuring the pizza chefs from Benitos in Ballard, Delfino’s in Seattle and who ever else wants to compete (suggestions are welcome). For a suggested donation of $10, you will get to sample each pizza and enjoy a pint along with it. Vote for your favorite, then come back for the Bears game on December 8 to see who is awarded the trophy during halftime!

What could be better than Chicago pizza and beer? How about knowing that your donation is going to help the Lifelong Aids Alliance? The lovely and talented Tamara, your Bears bartender, runs the Lifelong Aids Alliance Thrift Shop when she isn’t serving you beer. All donations to the bake-off will be donated to that cause. You can even get a receipt for your taxes!

Sorry, but the WSLCB won’t allow anyone under 21 to attend, but everyone else is very welcome to come try the best damn pizza in town and pick the winner. Hell, you don’t even gotta be from Chicago. Long as you like good food, a fun time and don’t mind supporting a good cause you are invited.

We also have a drop box for donations to the folks that suffered damage from the tornados over the weekend in the midwest.
