IT’S time to grab a pizza the action and pick up a copy of this week’s St Helens Star if you want to vote for your favourite cheesy Italian treat.

One copy of the St Helens Star counts for five votes in the Best of 2023 competition so it’s time to have your say about who deserves the award for St Helens’ Best Pizza.

Since its launch in April, we’ve looked at hair and nails, pies and roast dinners, cocktails and breakfast before fitness and fish and chips.

Next on the menu was pizzas – the cheesy topped dough that can be eaten hot or cold and we wanted to know where in St Helens we could go to find the perfect slice.

We were inundated with nominations and we’ve shortlisted the top ten, who will battle it out to be named Best for Pizza in St Helens.

Now we need your help to choose the winner from our ten shortlisted nominees.

There are three ways to vote:

1. Search for the Best for Pizza shortlist post on our St Helens Star Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages and comment under the post with the name of your winner = 1 vote

2. Name your favourite in the comments section on this article via our website = 2 votes

3. Purchase a copy of this week’s St Helens Star (Thursday, June 22 edition) and fill in the entry form = 5 votes

(*NB For newspaper entries, email a screenshot of the completed entry form to heidi.summerfield@newsquest.co.uk – please note that only original copies will be accepted. More than one entry can be submitted per person but you will be asked to provide your own unique reference code for each entry to avoid duplication eg if your name is Smith you may wish to write Smith123 or HS21! as your code. You will need to provide a different code for each entry submitted. For full terms and conditions go to Newsquest.co.uk/terms)

Voting officially opens today, Thursday, and closes at midnight on Monday, June 26 and we will be announcing the winner next week.
