What's the best pizza in Cincinnati? (Asking for a friend)

"Pizza dude's got 30 seconds."

If you don't remember that iconic Michelangelo line from the classic 1990 movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," perhaps you DO remember the last time you ate a pizza pie that was worth the wait – one that hit all the saucy, cheesy, toasty-topping notes juuust right.

Let that memory guide you as we ask for your help to find Cincinnati's Favorite Pizza . We've selected and seeded 32 of Cincinnati's best pizza joints onto a March Madness-style bracket. And your votes alone will decide the winner.

Voting for the first round opens Monday. I'm warning you now – some of these matchups are SAUCY ! We have local juggernauts vs. artisanal one-shop gems. Historic you-know-it names vs. new kids on the block.

I'm not telling you, but I already know MY favorite. Do you know yours?
