2015 Competition Is a
Clambake for Tim Silva
Tim Silva made competing at Pizza Expo an
annual event for a decade before hitting the jackpot
this March in Las Vegas. After besting 59 other
competitors to win the Non-Traditional Division,
Silva took first in the mystery ingredient bake-off to
become the 2015 Pizza Maker of the Year.
The title on his business card with 24-unit Pizza
My Heart is "Slacker," though Silva is anything but;
he handles a variety of tasks, including consulting
in the kitchens, for the California chain. He won
the Traditional Division in 2012 and came in this
year with the Porkalicous, a pie featuring pork belly
braised in a mix that included horchata and beer. Also
added: serrano peppers, honey, pickled red onions,
cilantro and pork rinds. Definitely non-traditional.
Now it may make the Pizza My Heart menu,
where it would join the Big Sur, a current
top-seller that debuted during the International
Pizza Challenge a few years ago. "You develop a
pizza for the competition and put in on the menu,"
Silva says. "And winning is awesome. It's a great
marketing tool."
For the Pizza Maker of the Year final, he
incorporated the mystery ingredient-clams-into
a clam and garlic pie that wowed the judges. It
included bacon, the proprietary Pizza My Heart
cheese blend, pepper, garlic and sprinkles of fresh
parsley and lemon juice. Definitely traditional.
"It was kind of a home run," says Silva. "It was
an aha moment: I got halfway through the pizza
and realized I couldn't do any better than this pizza.
Someone would have to come up with something
really special to beat it."
Silva went home with an extra $5,000 prize and
a shadow-box trophy. Pizza My Heart makes copies
of these accumulated through the years and mounts
them in each store. The 2015 championship will be a
big addition to the wall of fame.
"Winning is awsome. It's a great
marketing tool."- Tim Silva
