Competitors must make three pizzas - a pepperoni, a mushroom, and a cheese and tomato, in that order – against the clock under the watchful eye of two judges. Pizzas are judged against quality standards and competitors must demonstrate the correct technique to stretch the base, apply and spread the sauce and toppings.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Once the pizzas are finished, they are also judged against the correct weight of the overall pizza. Penalties are applied for any poor standards or if they are outside the weight parameters, demonstrating the level of precision, as well as speed required to win.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">**Celebrating his win, Aman said:** “I am absolutely thrilled to have won the fastest pizza maker competition. Having previously competed in the tournament several times, I am ecstatic to say I am finally taking home the trophy. Working with and training teams across Colchester and East Anglia has given me the skills and technique to be at the top of the game. I’m so happy to have made my Domino’s team proud and to bring this award back to Colchester.”</p> <p style="text-align: justify">**Emma Kennedy, Domino’s Fastest Pizza Maker Program Director added:** “Domino’s Fastest Pizza Maker competition is a fantastic showcase of the skill and talent of our teams throughout the UK and Ireland.
