Gear up for Canada’s ultimate pizza celebration as La Pizza Week, presented by People Mover Technologies Inc., Saputo, and exclusive delivery platform sponsor DoorDash, rolls out its exciting fourth edition.
From May 1st to May 7th, over 500 restaurants nationwide will unveil their unique twists on everyone’s favorite dish, offering a slice of fun to pizza lovers from coast to coast.
And if you’re a pizza baker, it’s also your time to shine. Showcase your signature creations, captivate taste buds, and connect with pizza aficionados nationwide.
Make this week unforgettable by exploring new flavors, meeting fellow pizza enthusiasts, and enjoying the creativity and passion that chefs put into their exclusive La Pizza Week creations.
During La Pizza Week, participating restaurants are tasked with putting forth a limited-edition pizza crafted exclusively for the festival. It’s an opportunity for restaurants to push their culinary boundaries, ignite inspiration and foster teamwork in the kitchen. As chefs collaborate to brainstorm unique recipes and experiment with unconventional ingredients (especially those restaurants that don’t traditionally serve pizza) creativity flourishes, leading to exciting creations that reflect the essence of each restaurant’s unique brand identity.
Customers can then participate by trying these new and exciting pizza creations, sharing their experiences on social media, and voting for their favorites on www.lapizzaweek.com. You’ll also be able to rack up YUM points and redeem them for pizzas throughout the week-long event. Different ways to earn YUMS include signing up for La Pizza Week, voting for pizzas, tagging @LaPizzaWeek on Instagram and making a transaction on the festival’s website. Those with the most “YUMS” will then qualify to win DoorDash gift cards ranging from $100-$500.
At its core, La Pizza Week is a time for people to come together, united by their shared appreciation for one of the world’s most beloved foods. From connecting with new restaurants to meeting other local foodies, La Pizza Week fosters a vibrant community around the joy of pizza. After all, it is a dish meant to be shared.
La Pizza Week doesn’t stop at restaurant doors. For the third year in a row, La Pizza Week and DoorDash are joining forces to support local restaurants in growing their business – all while bringing the fun to even more customers. This is a testament to La Pizza Week’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its audience, enabling diners to enjoy their favorite pies from the comfort of their homes. As Na’eem Adam, Co-Founder of People Mover Technologies, Inc. explains, “while we’ve seen remarkable stories of growth and community engagement through La Pizza Week, a consistent highlight is the positive impact on local restaurants. Many have reported a significant uptick in orders, particularly through our partnership with DoorDash, which has enabled even wider reach and accessibility for our participating venues.”
Alongside DoorDash, La Pizza Week wouldn’t be possible without its sponsor, Saputo, who plays a crucial role in providing high-quality cheese to participating restaurants. This partnership ensures that the pizzas featured during La Pizza Week are made with premium ingredients and highlights Saputo’s dedication to supporting culinary innovation and excellence.
This year, for the first time, La Pizza Week is proud to partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. During the festival, restaurants will be encouraged to donate $ $1 per pizza sold to the cause, underscoring the power of the community in making a positive impact. This initiative adds a meaningful layer to the culinary celebration of pizza, enabling pizza lovers to support a charitable cause while savouring their favorite flavors.
As the countdown begins for La Pizza Week 2024, anticipation is building for an unforgettable celebration of culinary creativity and community spirit. So mark your calendars, get hungry, and let’s raise a slice to the biggest pizza party of the year.
