Sixth Annual Las Vegas Pizza Festival Brings 17 Pizzerias Under One Roof This November

Tickets are on sale now for the November 14 event at The Industrial Event Space, where unlimited tastings, VIP access, and the city's best pizza makers spend one unforgettable afternoon together.

Six Years In: How the Las Vegas Pizza Festival Became a Local Institution

What started as a celebration of Las Vegas pizza makers has grown, year by year, into one of the most anticipated food events on the local calendar. The sixth annual Las Vegas Pizza Festival returns November 14, 2026, to The Industrial Event Space on South Industrial Road, and the organizers behind it, the Las Vegas Pizza Alliance and Italian specialty foods distributor Greco and Sons, have assembled a lineup that reflects just how far the city's pizza scene has come.

Seventeen pizzerias are confirmed as of the announcement, with additional participants still being added. That number alone tells a story. Six years ago, gathering that many high-quality, independent pizza operators in one city would have been difficult outside of New York, Chicago, or Naples. Today, Las Vegas has the operators, the talent, and the audience to make this work on its own terms.

The format stays true to what has made previous editions popular: unlimited tasting from all participating vendors, interactive experiences, photo opportunities, and festival merchandise. The goal is to let guests move at their own pace, eat well, and discover makers they may not have tried yet. For the pizza-curious, that discovery element is the real appeal.

The Lineup: 17 Pizzerias and the Styles They Represent

The confirmed participant list spans a genuine range of pizza traditions. Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana brings certified Neapolitan craft. Pizza Rock, the Tony Gemignani flagship, represents the depth and artistry of a multiple-world-champion pizzaiolo. Dom DeMarco's Pizzeria and Wine Bar and Bonanno's New York Pizza Kitchen anchor the New York style. Esther's Kitchen, one of the city's most praised independent restaurants, brings its own thoughtful interpretation.

PizzaCake by Buddy Valastro, Good Pie, Metro Pizza, Above the Crust Pizza, Carmine's Pizza Kitchen, Double Zero Pie and Pub, Evel Pie, Pizza Stone'd, Rebellion Pizza, Signora Pizza, Solamente Pizza, and Yukon Pizza round out the confirmed list. Each brings a distinct identity, and with more venues still to be announced, the diversity of styles on the festival floor will only grow.

For diners who think of Las Vegas pizza as an afterthought between casino stops, this lineup is a correction. These are dedicated operators who have built audiences through the quality of their dough, sauce, and sourcing. Tasting them side by side at one event offers the kind of context that a single restaurant visit never can.

VIP vs. General Admission: Making the Most of November 14

The festival runs from noon to 4 PM for VIP ticket holders and 1 to 4 PM for general admission. VIP access is limited to guests 21 and older and includes early entry plus complimentary beer, wine, and signature cocktails in addition to the unlimited pizza tastings. For anyone who wants to hit the floor before the general admission crowd arrives and wants drinks included, the VIP tier is worth considering.

General admission gives guests three solid hours of tasting time, which is enough to work through the full floor at a reasonable pace and still come back for second servings of the ones that stand out. Both tiers include interactive experiences and festival merchandise.

Ticket prices increase as November 14 approaches, which is standard for this event. Getting in early means locking in the lower rate and securing a spot before capacity limits kick in. Tickets are available at vegaspizzafest.com. Whether you are a longtime Las Vegas resident who follows the local food scene or someone visiting in the fall who wants a single afternoon that captures the best of what this city does with pizza, this is a strong addition to the calendar.

Come dine with us any time you are in the mood for Italian done right. Our kitchen is open year-round, and whether you are exploring wood-fired pies, fresh pasta, or something in between, we are happy to be part of your Las Vegas table.

7 Reasons to Buy Las Vegas Pizza Festival Tickets Before Prices Go Up

The case for getting on this early is strong. Here is what makes the sixth annual edition worth planning around.

1. Unlimited tastings from 17+ makers: One ticket covers everything on the festival floor, which means you can pace yourself across every participating pizzeria without tracking a spending limit.
2. Styles that rarely share the same room: Neapolitan, New York, artisan, and creative interpretations are all represented, making the festival a genuinely useful way to understand the range of pizza being made in Las Vegas today.
3. World-class talent in the room: Tony Gemignani's Pizza Rock brings multiple world championship credentials to the floor. This is not a collection of chains and frozen-dough operations.
4. VIP cocktails and early access: The VIP tier includes complimentary beer, wine, and signature cocktails on top of early entry, which means a less crowded floor and drinks included for the first hour.
5. Prices increase as the date approaches: The Las Vegas Pizza Alliance has run this event long enough to know demand is real. Buying early is the straightforward way to pay less and guarantee a spot.
6. Tickets available at vegaspizzafest.com right now: No waitlist, no lottery, just a purchase that puts November 14 on your calendar with a confirmed spot inside The Industrial Event Space.
7. One of the most established food events on the Las Vegas independent-dining calendar: Six consecutive years is not an accident. The event has earned its reputation among Las Vegas diners who follow where the real food culture lives in this city.
