Pizza on the Pier

Waterfront views? Thirty-plus pizzerias? All the slices your heart could ever desire? Yes, yes and yes. 

This spring, the annual Pizza on the Pier is back on Sunday, May 9. Hosted by Fornino at its Pier 6 location in Brooklyn Bridge Park, the annual charity event is bringing together 30 of the city's finest pizzamakers, each baking a specialty pie just for the day. Guests can nosh on unlimited slices from F&F Pizza, Kesté Pizza e Vino, Rubirosa, STRETCH Pizza and more. But beyond just eating (is there such a thing?), you can also catch a pizza-making lesson from Ooni Ambassadors, win prizes, and more. And it all goes to a good cause with 100 percent of proceeds benefitting Slice Out Hunger's Pie it Forward program, which purchases pizzas from independent shops to be donated to shelters and soup kitchens around the city. 

Tickets are $50 in advance, $60 on the day of the event. Tickets for children 12 and under are $35. There are three 90-minute sessions to choose from between noon and 5pm, each with a different line-up of chefs and pizzerias. The second session will have plant-based and gluten-free pies upon request.
