TOURNAMENT OF PIZZA: Beginning today, 64 well-oiled competitors (for the most part) will tip off and do battle - working their way through the tediously-constructed bracket and toward ultimate supremacy. We speak, of course, of the Weekly Volcano's Tournament of Pizza, which kicks off this morning right on our blog, Spew. Sixty-four area pizza joints were selected and seeded by readers throughout February, and now the time has come to see who's best. Local pizza joints do battle every day at weeklyvolcanospew.com. Vote for your favorite today!
