The Quest Begins

I Like Pizza. And I like Satay Chicken. Of course I like them combined. This led to a discussion tonight between Scott Gambling and myself and after which we thought we would set out on an intrepid quest to: Find the perfect Satay Chicken Pizza. And we want YOU to be part of this quest. That is right- WE NEED YOU to help us find the perfect pizza. Thus we have established the quest- For the ONE PIZZA TO RULE THEM ALL.
How we propose to do this is simple. We intend to sample as many pizzas as humanly possible. There are two ways you can be involved.
Firstly tell us where the best Satay Chicken pizzas may be found.
Secondly Are you and your Pizzas up for the challenge? We Challenge You to prepare your best Satay Chicken Pizza and have Scott and I around to taste them.
Our Categories are thus.

1. Overall taste
2. Good amount of toppings and or cheese
3. Base- (this is subjective as people prefer different things) judges decision is final
4. How it heats up the next morning. This will be one the of the hardest things but most crucial. After all who wants a dodgy pizza the next morning? (And yes you will need to provide us with some to bring home)
5. Presentation- (bonus marks for unusual things that add to the pizza's taste)
Each of these characteristics are scored out of 10 from both judges with a total score of a 100.
In case of a first place tie- both pizzas must be re-sampled and re-scored.
Now we don't wish to leave non- Townsville people out of this so we propose a compromise.
A) you can send your recipes to us with instructions or B) We will at some stage be in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne separately so in that case we will accept One of the judges plus a neutral person.

Disclaimers: It is in our opinion and our taste buds and please do not be offended if your pizza doesn't score well. It is a fun bit of a laugh.

ONE Pizza to rule them all,
Two judges to find them,
One chicken satay pizza to bring them all,
and in our stomaches bind them.
In the lands of Townsville
where our prize will lie.

Timmy said I had to rate the baseline pizza, from Michaelangelo's.

So let's see...

Quality: 7 (good amt toppings & cheese, cooked well)
Base: 7 (yeah, it was yummy)
Reheatability: 8 (great in a sandwich press)
Presentation/Ingredients: 6 (looked great, but I took marks off for including prawns on a Satay pizza. Who does that? It took away from the experience. And for having a gooey sauce, rather than a textured sauce, which is what I love about my own Satay pizza recipe).
Overall: 6
