You know what they say, “Problems come and go, but pizza is forever.” Pizza is, hands down, one of everyone’s favorite food to munch on. It’s like the best-friend you can always turn to and you know it will always make you feel oh, so good inside. So, what if we told you that you could have spent an entire day eating pizza and taste-testing some of the most delicious pies from beloved pizzerias around Los Angeles?! We know, your mouth is probably watering already. Well, it surely was a Mother’s Day well spent as the Los Angeles Times hosted its “Pizza Fest… A Tutti Pizza” event as part of its highly-acclaimed, renowned LA Food Bowl where attendees were in pizza heaven as they were able to try various pieces of scrumptious, artisanal pizzas.

Incredible vendors at the event included Urban Oven, Urban Pie, Prova Pizza, Verace Pizza Napoletana, Ambrogio15, DeSano, Il Romanista, OliveWood Pizza, Prime Pizza and the Good Pizza.

Needless to say, attendees had their mouths full with some of the most decadent and outstanding pizza slices on this planet.
Not only was the phenomenal event filled with an endless amount of opportunities to try a variety of different kinds of pizza pies, but guests were also able to enjoy fantastic, cooking workshops hosted by Authentic Italian Table, food talks, craft beer and music.
