If we can then my vote goes to Zyconium. It's clever, and looks good.

You didnt need to use photos. Since when are logos "easy" and not complex? Yet another reason why Pixel Wars have such a flaw. When you dont get a challenge you dont like, all enthusiasm goes out the window.

Guys, sorry but none of you gets my vote.
Zyco ... your 'logo' just uses photos and a not very appropriate font. This inspires me a small-town, not very good pizza place. :(

No one said you had to use stock photos... You just could if you wanted... You could have illustrated something. It didnt even have to have a pizza in it. None of the real pizza logos have a pizza in them...

Quite true Deker. Real logos don't use photos. Still in Romania there is a pizza place called Jerry's Pizza. They used a illustrated slice of pizza in their logo. I'll try to find it and post it.
In the meantime you could check this link out ( a search on images.google.com for 'pizza logo' ) See search results here!

Well, since I can't even see trhaynes's pic's I go with zycman

I won't go with zycman SIMPLY on the basis that he used Mario.

It's a trademarked logo that is associated with a videogame company, so why use it for a pizza logo?

trhaynes gets my vote.
