Make plans now to join us at the largest pizza-specific trade show east of Las Vegas.

Throw in a top-shelf conference program and pizza-making competitions second to none, and you have the makings of a game-changing experience.
On the show floor or in the classrooms, you’ll find real solutions and opportunities to bring home to your pizzeria. This is your last chance this year to meet face-to-face with leading industry suppliers to take advantage of discount pricing and show specials.
“Education is the key to success.” We feel so strongly about education that we’re offering more than 20 business-boosting seminars, demonstrations and workshops focused on today’s hot-button topics, including the current labor shortage, new technology, inflation and how to improve customer service without breaking the bank.

The Great American Pizza Challenge
We’re excited about our pizza-making competitions that showcase Mid-America styles. Pizza makers from around the world will have the opportunity to compete to see who has America’s Best Pepperoni Slice, Best Gluten-Free, Traditional and Non-Traditional Thin-Crust pizzas as well as Desert Pizza. Throw in the nation’s only Breadsticks and Garlic Knots Championship – plus the Young Pizza Maker of the Year competition – and it will be a HUGE gamechanger for the winners. Better yet, we’ll have sub-division winners for Tavern, New Haven, St. Louis, New York Thin and Flat Bread pizzas.
If you’re located east of the Mississippi River, Pizza Expo Columbus 2026 is truly THE place for you to learn, network, compete, shop and make deals. You’ll discover endless opportunities to take your business to the next level!
As always, our commitment to you, our partners, is to produce the biggest and best show ever!
Sincerely,
Bill Oakley
