New England’s largest pizza festival is returning this year with more than 30 pizzerias from across the globe.
The Boston Pizza Festival will be hosted at City Hall Plaza in Boston from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 21 and Sunday, June 22.
The list of pizzerias includes those from Greater Boston and New England. Some participating vendors are Sally’s Apizza of New Haven, Connecticut, Eataly’s Rossopomodoro and the Italian Pizza Festival “Pizza a Vico” from Vico Equense on the Sorrento Peninsula.
“We’re proud to bring the Boston Pizza Festival back to City Hall Plaza, where we can continue to celebrate the incredible talent of local and regional pizzerias alongside some of Italy’s finest,” Raffaele Scalzi, co-director of the Boston Pizza Festival, said in a press release. “This event is all about sharing our love for pizza, bringing people together, and creating a fun, flavorful experience for everyone — from die-hard pizza aficionados to families spending the day out in the city.”
The two-day event will feature an interactive pizza-making demo with The Dough Connection, plus live music and other entertainment. Beverages will be sponsored by Peroni alongside wine selections from 19 Crimes.
The Boston Pizza Festival is also introducing a new ticketing system this year. Those who purchase the $10 admission ticket will get automatic entry and two complimentary slices with any topping of their choice.
Additional slice packages — ranging from The Love Triangle for three slices to The Whole Fam for 10 slices — are also available to purchase.
More information about purchasing options are on the Boston Pizza Festival website.
