About Pizza Champion Cup

Purpose
Our primary purpose is to highlight pizza baking as the art form and craft it really is.

History
Mike Arvblom who is the world champion in pizza baking has worked hard to put together a pizza base for pizza bakers and all pizza lovers. In 2016, Mike started the now wildly successful Pizza Champion Cup championship. Where all pizza bakers get the opportunity to participate in a competition with several different pizza baking categories, and with the opportunity to show off their skills and win great prizes. During the championship, many pizza bakers meet to exchange skills and knowledge about pizza and trends.

Vision
Our vision and hope in the longer term is that in addition to our competitions and events in Sweden, we also collaborate with our neighbouring countries to create an integration among all pizza bakers and pizza lovers across all borders. The Pizza Champion Cup is now also available in Norway and Denmark.
