Area pizza places will face off in a scrimmage of the slices to raise money for the Tinley Park Jaycees.

The pizza taste-off competition will take place Thursday April 16 at 5:30 p.m., at the Tinley Park VFW, 17147 Oak Park Ave.

Tickets are $8 for individuals 12 years and older, $5 for kids 6 to 12 years old, and kids 5 and under free. Each will taste every pizza, served on a numbered plate. They vote for the plate they prefer most. Tickets will be sold online, to avoid last year’s long lines.

A portion of the proceeds will support Tinley Wish and the Disabled Veteran’s Fund. The Jaycees are a non-profit, community organization for young people aged 18-40 and are a chapter of the United States Junior Chamber. They are committed to leadership development through civic engagement.

Organizers are still waiting on to possible participants, but confirmed pizzerias include:

• Fat Ricky’s
• Pizza Mia (Frankfort)
• Simply Slices
• Fox’s Restaurant and Pub
• Boston Gourmet Pizza
• Parmesan Station
• Salina’s Pizza and Catering
