The annual 4th of July fundraiser was held at Braintree High School Tuesday night.
BRAINTREE, MA — Residents and local celebrities got their chance to make their own pizza and decide who has the best pizza pie in town at Braintree Pizzapalooza 2017.
Held at Braintree High School, residents were able to sample slices from establishments in town, with the winners receiving awards for their work. This year's three celebrity judges were Braintree native and WFXT sports reporter Butch Sterns, Weymouth resident and Barstool Sports contributor Jerry Thornton, and Braintree Mayor Joe Sullivan.
