I present to you: The 2020 Douglas Best Home-Delivered Pizza Poll. With sixteen* entrants from across Douglas (and Onchan), this is your chance to vote for who you think the best home delivered pizza is in Douglas.
Short version: You can vote in this Twitter thread. Just vote for your favourite place out of the available options.
Long version: Read on…
Since Twitter only allows four options in a poll, we need several rounds of voting. The entrants have been divided into four groups of four, with six pizza places being seeded.
The seeds**:
| Seed** | Name |
| 1 | Just Pizza & Pasta |
| 2 | Pizzaiolo |
| 3 | Neo’s |
| 4 | Home Run |
| 5 | Paparazzi |
| 6 | Pizza Napoli |
The unseeded entrants
| Name | Name |
| Bella Pizza | Star Grill |
| Flaming Great | Alessandro’s |
| Isola | Marmaris |
| La Piazza | Istanbul Kebab House |
| Pizza Hut | Domino’s |
The sixteen entrants were then divided*** into four brackets.
BRACKET ONE
-Just Pizza & Pasta
-Marmaris
-Flaming Great
-Star Grill
BRACKET TWO
-Home Run

-Isola
BRACKET THREE

BRACKET FOUR

Each bracket will have 24 hours of voting. Then, those four brackets will be competing for eight semi-finalist spots

The winner will then be whichever Douglas Pizza Place receives the most votes in the Grand Final.
*The entrants were chosen by me, using feedback from other people on Twitter. Then, I had a look on Google to see who to add to bring it up to sixteen entrants. If your favourite place is not included, blame their search engine marketing. I’m just a guy who likes pizza.
**The top six seeds were arbitrarily decided by me. The rest of the pizza places were randomly allocated to the different brackets.
***After the seeds were allocated, the rest were randomly allocated.
