The competition invited viewers to submit pizza topping ideas to create the People's
Pizza, which will be on sale at Domino's next year. The tastiest pizza ideas were whittled
down to just three by a panel of experts including This Morning's Phil Vickery, star of
The Only Way is Essex, Mario Falcone and Domino's new product development chef, Chris
Denoven. Maria Tyrrell was announced as the winner with her 'Chimi Chicken' pizza today
[Thursday 29, 2012] in a public vote live on This Morning.



Featuring a combination of chicken in an Argentinean style chimichurri marinade with
yellow and red peppers, Maria's Chimi Chicken pizza uses her family's very own authentic
chimichurri sauce recipe.



Maria Tyrrell, winner of This Morning People's Pizza competition, said: "I am so
overwhelmed, and absolutely thrilled! I'm so excited that my Mum and Dad's sauce is going
on a pizza. Food is a massive part of my family - my grandmother was a cordon bleu chef
and my parents and brother run an Argentine restaurant in Middlesex so I've always loved
cooking and using my Argentinean heritage in recipes. When I saw this competition, I just
had to enter."



Back in the studio, Phillip Schofield said; "Absolutely brilliant, well done! They
were all brilliant and very tasty pizzas... So when the doorbell rings, it'll be our
pizza!"



Holly Willoughby added; "Well done Maria! I would've been happy with any of them, but
I did like that one I have to say - that was the one I thought was the nicest."



Simon Wallis, sales and marketing director for Domino's Pizza, said: "We are delighted
to be supporting this competition on ITV's most iconic daytime TV show and look forward to
launching the winning entry, the People's Pizza, in our stores next year."
