Current Entry: Bollmano's Pizza
Mark Bollman--> served as the most active Winter Camp pizza chef throughout the second Winter Camp decade and the rise of Little Ozzie's Pizza. When Mike Osvath failed to attend Winter Camp XVII, Mark--> took control of the Little Ozzie's infrastructure and renamed the enterprise after himself. The motto of this new undertaking was changed to "The Finest Italian Cuisine In The Wilderness". His original intent was that the name be accented on the first syllable to follow the emphasis pattern in "Domino's", but popular usage has set the stress on "man".
Bollmano's was granted the Winter Camp pizza contract for the next two years due to Mike's general lethargy during the Pizza Smorgasbord at Winter Camp XVIII and his complete absence from Winter Camp XIX. At Winter Camp XX, the two warring factions formed a temporary alliance. The pizza war came to a head at the Winter Camp XXI planning meeting, where Bollmano's won popular acclaim and was voted in over Little Ozzie's by a 15.2-13.6 score. At Winter Camp XXII, Bollmano's launched a "make-your-own-pizza" format which simplified the pizza-making process considerably and freed pizzeria staff to monitor the ovens. It is a Bollmano's custom that first-time Winter Campers get their pizza before veterans. In 2004, Bollmano's Pizza logo merchandise debuted on Winter Camp's CafePress Web site, and in 2007 a new pizza cutter, dubbed the "Bollmano Batleth", made its first Winter Camp appearance.
