Pontillo's Pizzeria was not voted best Pizza in 2008, Papa Johns was and has been since 2004.

To Marc Schreiber: That is incorrect. Papa Johns has never won Best Pizza in the City Newspaper Best of Rochester Readers Poll. That's because our poll focuses on local businesses; national chains are disqualified.
