Have you ever tried to stretch pizza dough? What about stretching it to an almost unthinkable 39.5 inches? That's exactly what Scott Childers did when he won the Largest Dough Stretch competition held at this year's Orlando Pizza Show.

Scott beat out the competition by stretching his dough to an incredible 39.5 inches, earning himself a place on the 2008 U.S. Pizza Team. He says that being able to spotlight the pizzeria he works for, travel around the country to compete, and be among the best in the industry are the best parts of winning a spot on the team.

Scott grew up in Tampa, Florida, and has been in the pizza industry for nine years, working for East Coast Pizza in Riverview, Florida, for the last two. He says that his favorite part of being in the industry is putting on a show for people. He tells U.S. Pizza Team hopefuls to never give up and just keep having fun with what they do.

In addition to dough stretching, Scott has also mastered pizza throwing. Since he competed in Paris with the U.S. Pizza Team, he began practicing pizza throwing. Within one year, he mastered his skills enough to win third place at the National Competition in Orlando.
