The Final Four: Beaver County's pizza bracket enters the semifinals with spicy showdowns

As the community love for pizza continues to heat up in the final rounds of the Beaver County Pizza Madness bracket, the biggest names in the region's pizza scene are getting ready for a saucy battle in the semifinals.

When the third week of voting came to a close on Friday, over 737 voters had shared their opinions on the showdowns between the Elite 8 of Beaver County's pizza shops. Passionate pizza fans ensured the race remained close throughout the week, with some of the most popular restaurants constantly exchanging the lead with their competition.

For shops such as Vic's Oven in Bridgewater, voting was close until the final hours of voting, with Vesuvio's Italian Restaurant narrowly claiming the lead with a 1.2% difference in votes. D&G Pizza beat Yolanda's Pizza by an even narrower margin, claiming only a 0.6% lead in votes over the delicious pizza spots in Monaca and Chippewa Township.

The most popular vote this round was Pizza House, known locally as Police Station Pizza, which had a total of 699 responses this round. As the shop saw plenty of love across social media throughout the week, it took an early lead against Beaver's popular spot of Mario's Pizza and held that support until the last votes were submitted.

After this fierce round of voting, only four shops remain: Sal's Boardwalk Pizza, D&G Pizza, Police Station Pizza and Vesuvio's Italian Restaurant. The question remains: which of these pizza places will make it to the final showdown?
