Pizzaca in Scarborough was named Perth’s Best Pizza in a 92.9 Triple M listener-voting competition, according to a PerthNow report published on 7 June 2024. The title reflects that competition’s result—not an independently judged or comprehensive ranking of every pizza venue in Perth.
How Pizzaca won the title
PerthNow reported that Pizzaca was the winner of 92.9 Triple M’s “Perth’s Best Pizza” contest, part of the station’s Xav and Michelle “Best of Perth” search. Three other finalists named in the report were Matteo’s in High Wycombe, Tinos Pizza in Beeliar and Maestro Sourdough Pizza in North Beach. PerthNow’s 7 June 2024 report is the source for the award and finalist details.
The competition was based on local voting. PerthNow relayed Triple M’s statement that “This was the closest vote so far with over 1000 votes coming through in the last 24 hours alone.” That figure refers only to the final 24 hours; the report does not establish a total vote count. It also does not describe scoring criteria, a judging panel or comparative tasting results.
What the win meant to the restaurant
PerthNow quoted owner Kara Bizzaca saying, “We love the little community we have, sometimes our customers come in more than once a week!” The report also identified the margarita and satay pizzas as popular choices and said the prize was an advertising package from 92.9 Triple M.
