Introducing the 2015 Pizza Cup's Final Four: Gung Ho, Annie's, Sureño, GLB #45

Four of Beijing's best pizza-slinging restaurants – Gung Ho!, Annie's, Sureño, and Great Leap Brewing #45 – have conquered the competition to claim titles of their respective divisions and secure a berth in the Final Four of the Beijinger's 2015 Pizza Cup.
 

Last year's Pizza Specialists champion Gung Ho! fought off a strong showing from Pizza Plus to retain their division title. To reach the Final Four, the Gungsters had previously made it past Tube Station, Bottega, and Pizza Buona.

In the Bars/Cafes division, it was a match of two relative newcomers, with Great Leap Brewing #45 coming out ahead of Ramo to claim the titles and move onto the Final Four, where they now match crusts with Gung Ho for the right to make it into the '15 title match. GLB had previously roared past Mao Mao Chong, Luga's, and Passby Bar.
 

Meanwhile in the Mid-Range Restaurants division, Annie's reclaimed its crown by charging past the venue that knocked them out last year, Eatalia. To make it to the top, Annie's had also cruised past Vineyard Cafe, Grandma's, and Tiago Home Kitchen.

Finally, in the Upscale Restaurants division, Sureño outpolled Tavola to be crowned the king of their division, and will now meet Annie's for the right to a spot in the finals. Sureño had previously survived challenges from Prego, Assaggi, and Casalingo.
