September 20 – October 4, 2026
NYC Pizza Week.
New York City's first citywide celebration of the independent pizza shop.
Our Mission
A citywide celebration of New York's greatest obsession.
NYC Pizza Week is a citywide celebration of independent New York pizza shops — the counters, the corner joints, the neighborhood institutions that made this city the greatest pizza city in the world. Pizza connects every New Yorker: every borough, every income level, every generation.
Despite being the greatest pizza city in the world, New York has never stopped to celebrate itself. No citywide moment. No occasion to honor the shops, the slices, and the people who made this city legendary. Until now.
The Experience
How it works
Each participating shop will craft their own NYC Pizza Week Signature Slice — a one-of-a-kind creation made exclusively for the event. From September 20 to October 4, whether you're stopping in on a lunch break, an after-work visit, or mapping out a full borough crawl with friends — try the slice, explore the menu, and submit your rating.

Every slice does double duty.
As you make your way across the city tasting Signature Slices, every bite gives back. For each specialty slice sold, NYC Pizza Week will donate to Slice Out Hunger, a New York-born nonprofit that's built strong connections between the pizza community and their neighbors in need. Since 2009, they've raised over $2 million to fund hunger and disaster relief efforts nationwide.
So when you grab a slice during NYC Pizza Week, you're doing more than treating yourself. You're helping feed your neighbors, one slice at a time.
New York City Nonprofit
"Since 2009, Slice Out Hunger has raised over $2 million, turning a shared love of pizza into real, measurable impact for people facing hunger across the US."
