How many styles of pizza can you eat in one weekend? Put it to the test at the Boston Pizza Festival on June 24 and 25.

More than 60 vendors serving all types, from Detroit-style to traditional Neapolitan wood-fired pizza, will set up on City Hall Plaza for an all-you-can-eat extravaganza.

For the first time this year, the festival has no admission fee. Attendees will buy pizza tokens to use as currency with the vendors. Pizza slice tickets can be purchased in advance in packs of three for $11, five for $16, and 10 for $30.
By purchasing pizza slice tickets in advance, attendees can skip right ahead to ordering ‘za. Along with slices and slabs, there will be beer, wine, and gelato available for purchase. This year’s lineup of vendors will be announced closer to the event.
