WE HAD A BLAST AT THIS YEAR’S PIZZA ON THE PIER!
We hosted our sixth annual Pizza on the Pier Saturday, May 9th at Fornino Pier 6 (Brooklyn Bridge Park).
The event featured 30+ of NYC’s top pizza makers who bake specialty pizzas available only at this event. The afternoon is split the day into three 90-minute sessions.
100% of ticket sales support our Pie it Forward project. This means that every dollar you spend on a ticket are used to buy pizza for hunger relief orgs like shelters & soup kitchens
In 2026 we raised enough from ticket sales to feed over 1,200 New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity!

PLANT-BASED OPTIONS AVAILABLE DURING SESSION II!
During Session II of the event, ALL pizza makers have plant-based pies upon request! Meat and dairy options will also be available, but during this session, you can request a plant-based pie at ALL stations.
Pies made with GF dough were also available upon request with select pizzaioli throughout the event. However, since they will be made in the same ovens as the other pizza, they may not be suitable for those with Celiac or strong gluten sensitivities.
Look for 🌱 & G indicators in the lineup to see who offered pies for folks with dietary restrictions.

This event features fresh pizza made on-site in Fiero Forni and Ooni ovens. Pizza makers work together — like a big culinary jam session. We rotate pizza makers throughout the event, serving a continuous variety of options for attendees.
The proceeds from this event will benefit our hunger-relief projects, most notably our ongoing Pie it Forward project.
