Come get your fill of truly exceptional pizza and help judge the 6th edition of the London Pizza Festival.  Five pizza greats will try to win you over with a slice of the signature pie they've chosen to showcase at London's premiere celebration of pizza passion. 

The £28 ticket price includes admission to the Festival and 5 pizza slices – 3 triangular quarters cut from round pizzas and 2 squares cut from rectangular ones. A limited number £8 sharing passes are available for those who wish to share pizzas with a companion who's purchased a full ticket. Children 12 and under can come free of charge. (All pizza is pre-booked. No pizza will be available for purchase at the Festival).

The dominance of Neapolitan-style pizza at the prior London Pizza Festivals (see video highlights) will be challenged by two rectangular regional classics: Quadrata elevates the four-cornered base of pizza al taglio, the cherished slice of Rome, to its optimum crunch on Euston Road in Central London. Detroit Pizza London goes deep at Spitalfields, delighting homesick Americans and British converts alike with saucy Detroit squares. Cheese melts down the sides of each pie, encrusting its high walls with caramelised cheese. 

Defending the pride of Naples will be three of the UK’s very best pizzerias: 081 Pizzeria in Peckham and Fitzrovia (in residence at The Smugglers Tavern); Fatto a Mano, with one location in Kings Cross, London and three in Brighton and Hove; and Oi Vita in Islington.
