Sunday, May 18th
Fornino Pier 6 (Brooklyn Bridge Park)
CHECK OUT THE 2025 PHOTO GALLERY
We had a blast with everyone at Fornino on Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park for this year’s Pizza on the Pier! The event featured 30+ of NYC’s top pizza makers who baked specialty pizzas available only at this event. The afternoon was split the day into three 90-minute sessions.
Thanks to everyone’s support, we were able to raise $12k for towards our Pie it Forward project. This means that 100% of ticket proceeds are being used to buy pizza for hunger relief orgs like shelters & soup kitchens
Tickets included:
THIS YEAR WE’ HAD PLANT-BASED OPTIONS!
During Session II of the event, ALL pizza makers had plant-based pies upon request!
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 on next year’s schedule to see who is offering 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.
