Get Ready for Beijing's Biggest Gathering of Pizzas at the 2015 Pizza Cup Launch Party Oct 17-18
Thought we'd slow down and take a rest after the Burger Cup? No way! Not when there are hundreds of pizzas out there just waiting to be tasted! That's right folks, the Pizza Cup is back for 2015 and slice-for-slice it is going to be bigger and better than ever!
We're kicking off the festivities with the Beijinger Pizza Fest Launch Party, the biggest gathering of pizzas in 5,000 years of Chinese history held across two days, October 17-18, at Galaxy Soho.
If you managed to make it down last year, you'll find that this year will be tastier than ever: First off, it'll be going for two whole days, 11am-8pm, so come either weekend day (or both if you're a real glutton).
We'll have even more pizza vendors this year for you to sample by the slice -- at last count we have 15 of Beijing's best pizza places tempting your taste buds, plus beer, juices, desserts, and a smattering of other cuisine choices.
Additionally, we're scheduling two full days of performances, so make a day of it while you chow down.
Here are some of the vendors we have lined up so far:
- Tube Station
- iFresh Pizza
- Yuppie Yummie Restaurant (will offer mini pizzas)
- Italian and German/Belgian draft beers from Vandergeeten
- Luga's Little Italy with pizza and mini burgers
- Bottega, offering baci, a special type of mini ball-shaped pizza, and Italian beer and limoncello shots
- Bocca Della Verita
- McCain Fries
- Pizza sandwiches and pitta pizzas from Andy's Craft Sausages
- Gung Ho! Pizza
- Pie Squared
- Gelato from Vai Milano
- Pizza+
- Pizza by Q Mex
- Pizza Express
- Hutong Pizza
- Whale's Pizza
- Eatalicious Group with a selection of pizza, burgers, fish n' chips, grilled shrimps, hot chocolate and hot sugar cane water
- Fly Pizza
- Fresh Juice
- Wines, Shangri-La Beers, and mulled wine from CHEERS
- Saffron, offering pizza rolls
- High Altitude Cafe
- Haven
For crowd control purposes, we will be charging a RMB 10 entrance fee at the door.
