“This event started out as a dream five years ago and debuted in 2019 until we were interrupted by the pandemic,” Rotolo explains, “And now we’re back, bigger, better and with more delicious pizza.”

During the festival, Rotolo and Gemignani took a moment to recognize Greco and Son’s founder, Eddie Greco Sr., for his service to the pizza industry by presenting him with the Las Vegas Pizza Festival’s “Lifetime Achievement” award.

“We thought a lot about who we wanted to recognize today,” Gemignani said, “Eddie is the biggest cheerleader in the pizza industry who has brought us a personal, independent operator connection that helped a lot of us pizza makers.”
