From October 1 through October 30, 2010, consumers are encouraged to submit an original naan pizza recipe using any variety of Tandoor Chef's naan bread for a chance to win free Tandoor Chef products from November 2010—February 2011. Recipes can be entered online at TandoorChef.com/October. Tandoor Chef is encouraging pizza lovers nationwide to get creative in the kitchen with this unique Indian Italian fusion contest and hoping to inspire chefs next door with their newly launched Original Naan Pizza.

The grand prize winner will have their recipe featured on Tandoor Chef's website, TandoorChef.com, and Tandoor Chef's Facebook page, Facebook.com/TandoorChef and win free Tandoor Chef Naan Pizzas throughout the winter. One second place winner will receive two free Naan Pizzas each month throughout November—February and one third place winner will receive naan pizzas for one month.

"Having just launched our own naan pizza, we thought National Pizza Month would be the perfect time to celebrate with our consumers," said Mike Ryan, VP of Sales & Marketing, Tandoor Chef.
