As far as pizza goes, the obvious ones are probably Sammy's, Lucé, Thirsty Pagan, Vitta, Gannucci's, V.I.P. and Shamrock, but there's probably a couple more good options.

The burger and pizza polls are up and running. 

Last call for nominees for Asian restaurants. So far we have Hanabi Japanese Cuisine, Lan Chi's Restaurant, Oriental House II, Osaka Japanese Restaurant, Pak's Green Corner, Sala Thai Restaurant, Taste of Saigon, and Zhong Hua Restaurant.

One opinion expressed above is that a "none" option should be added to these polls. The notion seems a little snobby, but since there seems to be a lot of complaining in Duluth about Mexican restaurants specifically, it seems appropriate to gauge whether a majority truly feels there is a worthy recipient in that category. So we'll grant a "none" option there and see what happens.

And we might rephrase the vegetarian category to something like "Best Vegetarian Option" or something, since there isn't an exclusively vegetarian restaurant.

In the Italian category, we seem to have just five nominees: Bellisio's Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar, Gannucci's Italian Market, Green Mill, Valentini's Vicino Lago and Va Bene Caffe. Therefore, we can probably do that poll in just one round.

In the Mexican category, we have Azteca's Mexican Grill, Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant and Duluth Mexico Lindo mentioned so far. (Cloquet Lindo is outside the defined territory.) I'll add Maya Family Mexican Restaurant and Little Angie's Cantina and Grill to the list, just because they are the only other Mexican places in Duluth that I can think of. That brings us to five, plus a "none are worthy" option ... still a short enough list to get away with one round of voting on.

Last call for Best Vegetarian Menu nominees. So far we have At Sara's Table / Chester Creek Cafe, Burrito Union, Duluth Grill, Fitger's Brewhouse, Lake Avenue Restaurant and Bar, New Scenic Cafe, Pak's Green Corner and Zeitgeist Arts Cafe.
