Safety Harbor Pizzeria Wins Big at International Competition

Author Zito

One of my favorite pizza spots is creating a lot of buzz this week from a big win in ITALY! The Nona Slice House is once again taking home multiple medals from the International Pizza Competition in Parma, Italy. This is their third time competing and each time they’ve brought home some hardware. Proving once again that they might have the best pizza in Tampa Bay.

Owner Jamie Culliton has been around this block a few times. He has won multiple awards for his freestyle acrobatics and the taste of his pizzas. He has taken his star-studded staff to compete at the International Pizza Expo in Vegas and the Pizza Tomorrow Summit. Recently Jamie and his fellow pizzaiolo McKenna competed in an international Pizza Senza Frontiere competition with the U.S. Pizza Team. They took home the trophies for best pizza freestyle. Meaning, they can really throw their dough.

If you’ve never been to The Nona Slice House, you’re in for a treat. The staff practices their “dough show” for competitions year-round. All you have to do to see the action is ask your server for a “dough show” and one of the pizzaiola’s will come out and give you (and the whole dining room) a show.

About The Nona Slice House

The Nona Slice House is located in Downtown Safety Harbor at 997 Main Street. They’ve been open since 2019. The Nona offers 3 different styles of pizza on their menu. Classic New York style crust, just how the transplants like it. Neapolitan style pizza (my favorite). It’s got the super thin and crispy crust and is made with fresh mozzarella and San Marzano tomato sauce. They also offer Detroit style pizza, which is baked in a blue steel pan. It has that super crispy crust on the outside and light and airy on the inside. They offer pizza by the slice every day with specialty meat and veggie slices that rotate daily.
