Designed for pizzeria

something for everyone at
International Pizza Expo,
whether you're an industry
veteran or just thinking about

succeed in today's fiercely

450 exhibitors and 90 seminars, demonstrations, workshops and networking events.
If you feel the need to
compete or are just looking
for some new menu ideas,
then you should definitely
check out the International
Pizza Challenge competition,
sponsored by the California
Milk Advisory Board. This
year we'll have 210 competitors from across the globe

and Gluten-free. Better yet,
one division winner will be
crowned Pizza Maker of the
Year. We're also bringing back
four past "World Champions"
to compete head-to-head in
our Best of the Best Bake-Off
to see who makes the best of
this year's blind-box ingredients.
Beginning with the individual event trials on Tuesday
and ending with the Freestyle
Acrobatics finals on Wednesday evening at the Block
Party, the World Pizza Games
bring energy and excitement
to the stage. If you're a master
at acrobatics, a world-class
box-folder, the best dough
stretcher at your pizzeria or
just want to test your allaround skills in the Pizza
Triathlon, you need to reserve
your spot in the competitions when you pre-register to
attend.
If you haven't already
pre-registered to attend, you
should start making plans
NOW! The early registration
rate expires on Dec. 31.

Our new 2017 Pizza &
Pasta Northeast show will
incorporate a blend of food
demonstrations, world-class
competitions and a topnotch education program
to augment an exhibit hall
showcasing more than
150 industry suppliers that
serve the Italian restaurant
and pizzeria segments.
We're extremely excited
to announce that our pasta
competition, the Northeast Pasta Showdown, is
sponsored by Barilla, the
best-selling dry pasta brand
in the U.S. At next year's
Pasta Showdown, 20 pasta
perfectionists will go headto-head to find out who has
the Best Pasta Dish in the
Northeast. Do you think
you have what it takes to be
the best?
We're also proud to
announce our partnership
with Antimo Caputo and
Orlando Foods, who will

year's show. The Caputo
Cup Pizza Competition
is Italy's largest, most
renowned pizza-making
contest.
Pizza & Pasta Northeast
will be held Oct. 17-18,
2017, at the Atlantic City
Convention Center in
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
We chose Atlantic City for
several reasons, including its
central location on the East
Coast, access to the largest
concentration of pizzerias
and Italian restaurants in the
U.S., a top-notch convention center and affordable
first-class hotel and dinning
options.
