Here’s everything you need to know about this delicious end-of-summer festival:
Attention, all pizza lovers! The biggest pizza festival to hit Pennsylvania is headed to Philadelphia on September 8th. In true Philly fashion, the festivities will be taking place at Citizens Bank Park from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
...and everything in between! Pizzas will be served in "Festival Slice" sizes, which is equivalent to roughly one half of a traditional slice. This ensures that you'll be able to sample as many as you'd like without filling up too quickly.
Children under 8 years old are admitted for free and will have access to a game zone. Adult entertainment will include a live DJ, giant Jenga, bags, and much more.
In addition to countless pizza vendors, there will be other kinds of food and drink vendors present as well. Photographed below is a creation by Franklin Fountain Ice Cream.
General Admission pricing begins at $9.95 and includes free parking. If you upgrade to a Premium or V.I.P. level ticket, you'll enjoy vouchers for festival slices as well as a ticket to an upcoming Phillies game.
