Who has the best pizza in Sacramento area? Vote for Giovanni’s or Zelda’s in final round

After more than a month of readers voting for their favorite Sacramento-area pizza shops, the final round is here — the round that decides which spot is the “best” in the area.

“Pizza Madness,” a four-round poll to determine the “best” pizza shop in the Sacramento area started in March when a pizza poll with nearly 40 options received more than 8,700 responses and a dozen reader submissions.

It was clear a winner couldn’t be crowned yet.

In the first round, readers were given 16 choices. We moved on to round two and asked readers to narrow the pool of eight spots down to four. Then: on to round three, narrowing the pool to two pizza spots.

With nearly 800 votes, The Bee took the top two spots to create this final round: Giovanni’s Old World New York Pizza (457 votes) in South Land Park and East Sacramento and Zelda’s Original Gourmet Pizza (392 votes) in midtown.

In round four, choose the pizza place you think should be crowned the “best” pizza shop in the Sacramento area.

Which pizza shop deserves to win? Only one vote per person. The poll closes at noon on Tuesday, April 26. Remember: This poll is not scientific — it’s for fun!
