where we were immersed in a world of pizza and pasta. Dinner nights were a cherished tradition, where the scents of these culinary delights filled the air. ‍ As a small child our favorite family night was the pizza party where you would sit at long tables, eating the pizza your Nonna made and would dance on Italian classics.
We invite you to immerse yourself in our version of this classic pizza night with Italian entertainment and art, while enjoying the ultimate pizza extravaganza showcasing the world’s top Pizzaioli. ‍ The Pizza Show is a Pop-up fine dining pizza experience who invites the best pizzaioli for all over the world. We believe in the Italian culture of eating together and that is why we say, come as a stranger, leave as a friend.
