The inaugural Owensboro Times Pizza Week drew crowds and plenty of creative pies, and now it’s time to celebrate the winners! Several restaurants earned top honors across multiple categories.
The Owensboro Times will release feature stories on each winner throughout the day, highlighting the pizzas and other creations that stood out and the local businesses behind them. Awards include categories for traditional and non-traditional offerings, as well as recognition for the restaurants that sold the most items.

- Donatos’ Parrish Avenue location claimed the “Dough$ Maker (Traditional Pizza)” award after selling more pizzas than any other single restaurant in that category. Meanwhile, Donatos as a whole also earned “The People’s Slice” award, winning the community vote for favorite traditional pizza offering.
