LARIMER, Pa. — Seven Pittsburgh-area pizza makers will create pizza masterpieces at GoodTaste! Pittsburgh’s “PizzaFest - A Slice of Delish!”
According to our partners at TribLIVE.com, PizzaFest will be held on June 12 at East End Brewing Co. in Larimer.
“PizzaFest is really popular. They come up with some wonderful combinations for pizza,” show producer Dee Weinberg said.
There will be two sessions of PizzaFest, one from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and the other from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The event will feature live entertainment and opportunities to try beers from East End Brewing Co.
The Trib also said that Pittsburgh Pizza acrobat Matt Hickey will perform at the event. He was recently named the world champion in the largest dough stretching competition at the International Pizza Expo, which was held in Las Vegas.
Each chef will cook outside on an Ooni pizza oven.
“There is nothing like a slice of pizza right out of the oven. The smell of freshly baked pizza is the best,” said Weinberg. “Beer and pizza also is a great marriage. East End Brewing is a great event space for this show.”
Weinberg told the Trib she decided to do the event because there wasn’t anything like it to elevate pizza-making artistry in Pittsburgh.
“The thing about pizza is you can do so many things with it. It’s the perfect dish to customize. It has yeast and comes alive,” Weinberg said.
Tickets for the event are $35 each, and include a sample of each pizza. Click here to purchase yours.
