THE LAS VEGAS PIZZA TAILGATE WILL RETURN MARCH 2025
Date TBD
Session 1 @ 4-5:15pm
Session 2 @ 5:30-6:45pm
Pizza Rock Downtown (201 N 3rd St @ Fremont St)
Slice Out Hunger is hosting an epic pizza party featuring pizza makers from around the globe. The annual Pizza Expo conference and trade show transforms Las Vegas into the world’s pizza capital but the public rarely gets a glimpse. This event grants access for 75 minutes of unlimited slices plus your chance to win an Ooni pizza oven. It’s all happening on Monday, March 18 from 4-6:45pm at Pizza Rock Downtown (right before Tony Gemignani's famous Expo kick-off party). We’ll be camping out with 20+ pizza-makers slingin’ pies on a lineup of Ooni ovens. This is a great chance for pizza enthusiasts, visiting pizza makers, and Las Vegas locals to celebrate everyone’s mutual love of pizza.
A $45 donation will not only get you into one of our two sessions, it will also do #Pizza4Good by supporting Slice Out Hunger’s work.
Tickets $45 in advance, $50 at the door. Online sales are closed, but tickets are available onsite for both sessions.
