Participating pizzaiolo:

“For many years, Vegas pizza makers have enjoyed the amazing camaraderie and pizza sharing that happens when pizzaiolo from around the world visit us for Pizza Expo,” said Arena. “We thought it would be nice to share a little of our experience with the Las Vegas community who support us every day, and give back through Slice Out Hunger as well.”
“We love the Las Vegas pizza community, and are humbled to be the beneficiaries of this fun event,” said Scott Wiener of Slice Out Hunger. “The Las Vegas Pizza Alliance is a perfect example of how pizza brings communities together and we’re delighted to celebrate that.”
