“We are so excited to bring back Lexington Pizza Week. These chef’s brought their creativity and uniqueness to every pizza,” said Amy Eddie of Smiley Pete Publishing. “From crawfish to ‘Nduja cream sauce to orange fennel toppings, I cannot wait to hear what the community thinks of these unique culinary pies!”
Each restaurant will offer two options — one meat, one vegetarian — for a price of $10 for a 10-inch pie or two extra large slices.
“We have several newcomers this year. Ethereal Slice joins Lexington Pizza Week for the first time serving a pizza with pastrami-cured and hard-wood smoked Maple Leaf Farm duck breast, arugula and pickled hot cherry peppers. Also in their inaugural appearance, Frenchy’s Food Truck will be at Pivot Brewing all week. This family operated business will be offering a calzone as well as a pizza,” Eddie said.
“For vegetarians, every location has a veggie option as well as a meat, and for vegans, Rolling Oven is offering two veggie options that can be prepared with vegan cheese,” she said.
