Get ready for a galaxy-sized showdown in Bay Ridge as Pizza Wars launches on Star Wars Day, May 4th. In a delicious collaboration with Fifth Avenue BID, Merchants of 3rd Avenue, and 86th Street BID, 12 neighborhood pizzerias will go head-to-head in a battle for the best slice.
Fan-favorite spots like Firefly, Gino’s, Pizza Wagon and Vesuvio's are among the contenders slinging their best cheese slices. For $36, guests receive a branded tote (for the first 300 attendees) and a slice from every participating shop—equaling a full pie by day’s end. Come dressed in your Jedi or Sith finest for a chance to win a free pie from each pizzeria.

A complimentary shuttle, courtesy of Bay Ridge Center, will loop the neighborhood to help you hit every stop with ease. Taste, vote, and let the Force (and flavor) guide you. Tickets at zeffy.com.
