Back to Columbus, Bigger & Better! Oct. 11-12, 2026 – Greater Columbus Convention Center
Pizza Expo Columbus 2025, the largest pizza-specific trade show east of the Mississippi river, was a huge success, and we’re expecting to deliver another record-breaking show this year. Pizza Expo Columbus is your one-stop shop for everything you need for your pizzeria, including the newest products, equipment and technology hitting the market. Throw in a top-shelf education and demonstration program – along with a pizza-making competition that’s second to none – and you’ll have a game-changing experience.
On the show floor and in the classrooms, you’ll find real solutions and opportunities to bring home to your business. This is your once-per-year opportunity 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 dealing with today’s hot-button topics, including the current labor shortage, technology, inflation and how to improve customer service without breaking the bank.
We’re super excited about the Great American Pizza Challenge, which showcases Mid-America styles. Pizza makers from around the world will have the opportunity to compete to see who has America’s Best Pepperoni Slice, Traditional, Non-Traditional, Gluten-Free and Dessert pizzas. Throw in the only Bread Sticks and Garlic Knots competition, and this will be a business-boosting experience for the winning pizzerias. Better yet, we’ll have subdivision winners for Tavern, New Haven, St. Louis, New York Thin and Flat Bread pizzas.
If you’re located east of the Mississippi, Pizza Expo Columbus is truly the place for you to learn, network, compete, see, 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!
Remember, attending Pizza Expo Columbus is a tax-deductible working vacation.
It’s all PIZZA and it’s all for YOU!
Sincerely,
Bill Oakley
Group Show Director
