The Boston Pizza Festival will return to City Hall Plaza this month, featuring two dozen businesses all offering their take on a slice.
The two-day event is the largest pizza festival in New England. This year’s event runs Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Participating businesses hail from as far as Vico Equense, Italy. Pizzas will be crafted on site. Whether you’re craving a thin-crust New Haven-style apizza, a classic Neapolitan-inspired pie, a hearty Detroit-style slice or something more creative, the festival has it all.
