According to the Providence-Warwick Convention and Visitors Bureau (PWCVB), participating restaurants will be serving up one-of-a-kind specials with some creative topping combinations. You might even be surprised by some restaurants that don’t traditionally serve pies getting in on the pizza party.

“After another successful Providence Restaurant Weeks this January it’s exciting to unveil a new culinary week,” said Kristen Adamo, PWCVB President and CEO. "The Providence area is home to dozens of nationally-recognized restaurants and we’re proud that Providence Pizza Week offers locals and visitors alike the opportunity to sample some unique pizzas from all different types of establishments.”

Guests are encouraged to sample a variety of these special pies and cast their votes for the pizza that’s the most delicious, most creative, and most Instagrammable at ProvidencePizzaWeek.com, with one lucky voter will also be selected to win a $200 prize pack of restaurant gift cards.

"We'd actually planned on launching Providence Pizza Week in April of 2020 -- right when the pandemic hit," Adamo told GoLocal. "Two years later, the restaurants are packed again, and there's a real buzz in the air. We're excited especially to feature this at a price-point right now that's family-friendly."
