The Subjectivity of Taste: What Makes Pizza Great?

Which pizza is best will always be a matter of personal taste. Everyone has different tastes, favorite toppings, and ideas about what makes a pizza great. 

I can tell you this much: I'm not a big fruit eater, but I've tried Biga Pizza's Flathead cherry pizza when it's available as a seasonal offering. I never thought I'd say this about a pizza topped with cherries, but it was fantastic!

That's one of the great things about pizza. You can try one place, decide whether you think it's the best you've ever had, then head somewhere else and give another pizza a shot. You can keep comparing, tasting, and deciding for yourself. 

There's certainly no shortage of opportunities to do that here in Montana!

So, congratulations once again to Bob Marshall and the team at Biga Pizza for earning more recognition. It's another great honor for a Missoula business that has been making a name for itself with pizza lovers for years.
