NYC Pizza Week 2026
NYC is the greatest pizza city in the world.
Over the last two years, I ate my way through this city building my pizza crawls. Along the way, I met the owners. I heard their stories.
That's when it hit me — the greatest pizza city in the world has never stopped to celebrate itself.
Until now.
What is NYC Pizza Week?
NYC Pizza Week is a citywide celebration of independent NYC pizza shops — the counters, the corner joints, the neighborhood institutions that made this city what it is. Pizza connects every New Yorker. Every neighborhood. Every income level. Every generation.
When is it?
Starting on September 20 to October 4, 2026
