๐จ๐ข ๐๐๐๐โฆ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ซ
Remember when I casually said:
โLetโs have a little pizza topping debate and give away 4 Knoebels tickets.โ
Cute idea.
Simple idea.
๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐โฆ
I have regrets. ๐๐๐
My fingers hurt.
My hand hurts.
I have entered SO. MANY. NAMES.
At this point, Iโm pretty sure Papa Alโs owes me a hand massage as a business expense. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
So YESโฆ I am officially ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ announcing our winner.
I promise I did not disappear with the Knoebels tickets. ๐
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
But seriously for a secondโฆ โค๏ธ
The amount of participation, comments, tags, shares and just plain FUN you guys brought to this little giveaway absolutely blew me away.
There truly arenโt enough words to explain how thankful we are for the support Papa Alโs receives from this community. You guys show up for us over and over again, and you are a huge part of the reason we keep pushing โ even on the hard days. โค๏ธ
We are incredibly blessed.
And because you made me a day lateโฆ
And because you guys showed UP for this ridiculous pizza debateโฆ
I decided somebody else should benefit from all my suffering. ๐

Our original winner will receive:
๐๏ธ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐-๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐!
AND a second winner will receive:
๐๏ธ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐-๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐!
And before somebody says itโฆ ๐โโ๏ธ
Yes, we know Knoebels is free admission!
These are ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐-๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐, meaning you can actually get on the rides without reaching for your wallet every 3 minutes while your children suddenly discover they want to ride EVERYTHING. ๐คญ๐ข
Nowโฆ
We also need to discuss the results of our highly scientific Papa Alโs pizza research. ๐ง๐
Apparentlyโฆ

Mushrooms won โ or technically LOST โ BY FAR.
It wasnโt even close.
After reading hundreds of comments, I have learned one thing:
1. Mushrooms apparently have no business being on pizza. ๐ซฃ
And yesโฆ
๐๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ.
Silently.
From the restaurant. ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ๐
Okay, okayโฆ
Enough talking.
Iโve kept you waiting an extra day.
The names are entered.
My fingers have officially filed a complaint.
And we have TWO WINNERS TO ANNOUNCE. ๐๐ข๐๏ธ
