🎟️ All-Day Pizza Pass
Want to make the most of your day? Grab the Big Cheese VIP Pass or an All-Day Pizza Slice Pass and get a bundle of pizza tokens redeemable at any participating truck. It’s the easiest way to sample your way through the event without reaching for your wallet every stop.
Grab a wristband + a bundle of pizza tokens and sample your way through participating trucks all day, no overthinking, just bite by bite exploring. Redeem tokens for a festival slice (typically a plain cheese slice or vendor’s “Slice Pass” offering), with some specialty options available for 2 tokens or a small upcharge depending on the truck. Admission to the festival is free, the Slice Pass is optional, limited in quantity, and perfect if you want to taste a little of everything (and vote for your favorite). 🍕
Passes available for purchase online in advance and at the gate day-of.
Admission is free after 12pm. All ages welcome. Come hungry.
