May 11, 2022
After two years online, Petrolia’s Pizzafest is back live and in person.
This year’s event – the ninth – will be held in Victoria Park June 4 from noon to 7 pm.
“Petrolia is not short on pizza restaurants looking to fill hungry bellies, and event organizers are pleased to boast seven participants for 2022 – Bud’s Family Pizza, Godfathers Pizza, Helen’s Hideaway Family Restaurant, Johnny G’s Premium Pizza, Petrolia Pizza & Subs, Pizza Hut, Petrolia, and Wise Guys Inc.,” say organizers in a news release.
Vendors are keeping their prices at $2.50 per slice despite rising food costs as a way of saying thank you for the community for their support over the last two years.
There will also be a number of bands in the park that day; The Twang Bsds., Vinyl Revival and The Geoff Masse Band.
Organizers hope to break the record of selling 7,500 slices in seven hours this year.
