If you love pizza, then the sounds of a pizza festival with top chefs competing for the title of best savory pie sounds pretty appetizing. That's the idea behind UK-based event company Young & Foodish's first annual London Pizza Festival that is dedicated to celebrating the cheesy meal.
While most food festivals welcome diversity, the London Pizza Festival sticks to one of the most popular fast food meals, the pizza. The festival charges £30 for guests to enter that includes six different quarter-sized pizzas to try. The pizzas are from six competing pizza shops that are eagerly hoping to snag votes from guests to win the title of best pizza. Competitors include Made of Dough, Yard Sale Pizza and several others. Alongside pizza guests will be served pop, Italian wine and beer.
