Los Angeles will once again become the main slice when it comes to pizza pie as the annual Pizza City Fest returns to L.A. LIVE on April 25-26.

Tickets are now on sale for the weekend celebration of the ubiquitous dish with unlimited offerings from 20 pizza artisans each day. The pizzerias will be serving up a variety of toppings, sauces and pizza styles including Neapolitan, Chicago Tavern-style, New York-style, Detroit-style, New Haven Apizza, L.A.-style and more.

The event was founded in 2022 by three-time Emmy and 13-time James Beard Award-winning food reporter, Steve Dolinsky.

“We’re so excited to be returning to L.A. for our fourth annual event. The pizza scene in SoCal is as robust as ever,” said Dolinsky in a statement. “We’ve added nearly a dozen new options this year covering multiple styles. From Santa Barbara to the Inland Empire and down to San Diego, we’re saving pizza fans from spending hours in their cars to try the best pizzas. Since everything is baked fresh on-site, the taste and experience is just like eating in the pizzeria,” the statement continued.
