We’re thrilled to announce that Scott Holden of Scott’s All Day has been crowned the PAPA’s Pizza Chef of the Year 2024! Scott wowed the judges with his innovative and delicious Merguez Sausage & YAMAS! Feta Whip pizza, showcasing the versatility and flavour of our authentic Greek feta.
Scott’s pizza passion didn’t stop at his feta masterpiece! He also took home the top prize in the Silbury Classic BBQ Sauce category with his Pulled Pork & Scamorza pizza. This double victory cemented his position as a true pizza innovator and ultimately led him to be crowned the overall PAPA’s Pizza Chef of the Year.
After a tough initial judging process, five finalists were selected to compete in the live final held at Pizza Pilgrims in Camden. The competition was a fantastic celebration of pizza and the creativity of the UK’s talented pizza chefs.
The PAPAs, is a prestigious event that brings together talented pizza chefs from across the UK. This year, YAMAS! Feta was chosen as the star ingredient, challenging chefs to create innovative and delicious pizzas that highlight the unique flavour and texture of this Mediterranean cheese.
Scott Holden’s winning pizza, the Merguez Sausage & YAMAS! Feta Whip, featured a pizza sauce base topped with merguez sausage, a YAMAS! Feta whip with yogurt and lemon, red pepper, and finished with fresh parsley and mint. The judges were impressed by Scott’s creative use of feta, the balance of flavours, and the beautiful presentation.
We’d like to extend a big thank you to Pizza Pilgrims for hosting a fantastic day with a great atmosphere and plenty of talk about all things pizza. We’d also like to thank the judges, Theo Randall and Marco Fuso, for their expertise and enthusiasm as well as Anna-Kristine March, Product Development Controller, for representing Futura on the judging panel.
