How does a guy who peddles hot dogs for a living feed his pie hole? If you're Steve Ballas, owner of Steve's Snappin' Dogs, you spend your Saturday afternoon holding a pizza tasting tourney, which is exactly what Ballas is doing today at his frankfurter hut at 3525 East Colfax Avenue.

Fifteen local pizza pimps, including Marco's Coal-Fired Pizza, Belemonti's Pizzeria, New York Pizzeria, Wazee Supper Club, Enzo's End and Denver Pizza Company, are participating in the judged competition, which gets tossing at 1 p.m. and continues through 3 p.m. Each of the participating pie palaces will be handing out samples, and there could be potential opportunities to bribe the judges, one of which is me.
