Members of the fresh pizza industry came out with enthusiasm in October for the Canadian Pizza Summit and Chef of the Year Competition, the annual trade show and exclusive event for pizzeria owners, managers and their teams that showcases innovation and celebrates the independent pizzeria in Canada.

Top pizzerias came to compete, among them Armando’s, Tuscan Wolf Pizzeria, Cassius on King, Ciao Roma, Toller Pizza, Otto Trattoria, The Lock Wood Fired Pizza, Vero Pizzeria, Acute Pizzeria, Son of a Peach Pizzeria, Ruby’s Pizza and Catering, Hooray For Pizza Day, and Il Fornello Ristorante and Pizzeria, home to our newest Chef of the Year Giovanni Campisi! Congratulations to these talented chefs who competed with heart and professionalism!

There are so many reasons to attend the Canadian Pizza Summit and Chef of the Year Competitions: witness new trends in the making, pick up ideas for your pizzeria, meet fellow operators and suppliers, reward your team with a fun day’s outing, taste the best pizza in Canada and a delicious lunch courtesy of hosts Faema Canada, and meet our next Chef of the Year!

But this video says it best. Tag yourself and share with your team and fellow pizzeria operators and managers!

Thank you to Host and Platinum Sponsor Faema Canada, Gold Sponsor Lactalis Canada Foodservice, Bronze Sponsor Handtmann Canada and our dedicated exhibitors for supporting this key business and innovation event.
