On Thursday May 8Th Mad Pizza had the privilege to be a part of a team building event for 100 Microsoft employees. The idea was, they would break into 20 teams and each team would compete for the most creative and best tasting pizza.
This is how it worked: each team had a few minutes to strategize on what their pizza's would look like - our team had the toppings perfectly portioned out and on display for each team to pour over. Once they had their list they had to return to their table to sauce and cheese their pizza skins (hand tossed by some of our brightest Restaurant General Manager's, right there in front of the contestants). Once that was done their team captains only had a few minutes to race to the pizza topping area and get their toppings, but if they weren't quick that perfectly planned pizza could turn into an all mushroom extravaganza!
A good time was had by all, the contestants were very savvy and creative in the way they constructed their pies... one team constructed the space needle on their pie and some even found a way to mix it up by taking some toppings from the Daniel's Hors 'd orderves table! Can we please get a ruling from the judges on that? All the contestants were great sports and a pleasure to work with we look forward to seeing them as custoemers on our resturants.
Our great thanks to our new friends at Daniel's for putting a great spread out for these folks as well as a bite for us at the end of the event. Yes they got pizza, check out the pie with the Daniel's Logo.
I also want to thank Jodi and her team at the Zella company for getting us involved and putting on such a great event. Nothing says team building like constructing the perfect pie.
Lastly I want to thank my team headed up by Norm from our First Hill location - they did us proud and were true "Mad Performers", great job Norm, Greg, and Nick!
