About
Over the past two years, a wave of new, exciting pizzerias has spread across the region, and we think it’s about time we celebrate our pizza diversity. Our first Pizza City Fest brought together 40 of the region’s best pizza makers for two days of pizza making and appreciation in the West Loop, along with speakers, demos and seminars. For our third event in Chicago, we’ll continue with 14 pizza makers each day, but we’re changing things up and improving the experience.

Once you leave the festival grounds there will be no readmittance.
Pets will not be allowed to enter the festival.
There are no lots on-site but there are lots nearby. We’d recommend taking CTA red line, which drops off two blocks away.
A little bit of both! Each day there will be 20 pizza vendors cranking out fresh pies outdoors, while a series of educational seminars will be taking place under cover. We’ll provide seats and shade outside, although our VIP lounge will have additional seating and extra shade.
