FREE Tickets to Give Away for Oct 15-16 Pizza Fest

Gooey cheese. Mouthwatering sauce. Tender, chewy crusts. There's just so much to love when it comes to a slice of 'za, and this year's Pizza Festival (October 15-16 at Wangjing SOHO) is the perfect event to satisfy your pie hankerings.

We've already lined up a fine selection of the city's best pies for you to sample that weekend, and our sales team is pounding the pavement to sign up more to assure you have more slices to sample than your little tummy can possible hold.

We expect the entire spectrum of styles to be present: from the traditional pizza purveyors, representing Napoli, Roman, Sicilian, New York, and Chicago styles; to those that are a bit less well-known, such as Detroit and Korean-style, or those that bear fusion influences like the pizza baozi served by Baozza and the pizza jianbing served by North Capital.

So far our vendor list includes pizzas made by the following vendors:

Tube Station
Gung Ho! Pizza
Annie’s
Hutong Pizza
Bocca Della Verita
Pie Squared
Pizza+
Q Mex Bar & Grill
Yummy Box
Flypizza & Hoodadak Chicken
Luga's Mexican Restaurant & Bar
Yellow Cab Pizza
Ahava Bistro and Café
Baozza
Tiago Home Kitchen
Il Casale
North Capital Bar & Grill
Tim's Texas Bar-B-Q

... and more to come. We'll also have a selection of drinks from CHEERS and De Refter as well as some other assorted food and drinks from Billy's Fish & Chips, Mr. Charcoal, and Vivi Dolce.
