Pizza
Get enough energy to enjoy the party with the tastiest pizzas in the city. Chef Vincent Rotolo of Good Pie has curated a pie-focused food court to keep you wanting more. Variety is at the heart of the event, so you can sample pizza from different restaurants and pizzerias, such as Esther’s Kitchen, Good Pie, Metro Pizza, Pizza Rock, Rebellion Pizza, and Yukon Pizza. Remember to stop in early and have your pizza before they run out.
