Gorge on pizza, sausages and beer during March Madness at Franny's and DBGB

To kick off the college basketball tournament, Franny's and DBGB have set-up March Madness brackets of their own, using two of the best bar snacks: pizza and sausages.

At the Brooklyn slice shop, Pizza Madness begins on Monday, March 2 and includes 16 unique pies—created by Franny's waitstaff, line cooks, sous chefs and Franny herselfin the running for the top slot. During dinner hours on March 2–5 and 9–10, diners can order and vote for the best pies, and watch as competitors are eliminated from the za bracket as the rounds progress. The winning round will remain on Franny's regular menu for the rest of the month. 

DBGB will be slinging 16 house-made sausages (bratwurst, andouille) and pouring just as many suds (Erdinger Hefeweizen, Other Half IPA) at its showdown, where the games will be screened on a giant projector. The restaurant will track which brats and suds sell best and then offer the winning match-up for $10 during the National Championship game on April 6. Here's the full lineup:
