The second annual Pizza City Fest: Chicago will take place August 26 and 27 at The Salt Shed.
Curated by Steve Dolinsky, author of "Pizza City USA" and "The Ultimate Chicago Pizza Guide" as well as host and producer of the "Pizza City" podcast and Founder of Pizza City Tours, the event does what no other pizza festival in the city has ever done: ask all of the participating pizzerias to bake the pies fresh, to-order.
"We learned a ton from our first year in Chicago," said Dolinsky. "After implementing several changes to our L.A. festival just two weeks ago, the Chicago event will be greatly improved. We're thrilled to have 16 on Center produce this festival in the city's most exciting new venue on the Chicago River."
Other panels Saturday include "How to Make Pan Pizza at Home" and later in the day "Third Wave Deep-Dish On Sunday, the "Women in Pizza" panel features Ann Kim who was featured on "Chef's Table: Pizza" this year. She'll be joined by Connie Zotta and Cecily Federighi .
