FESTIVAL OF SLICE 2027
Presented by The Lock Tender
BACK. BIGGER. EXTRA CHEESY.
Tickets: www.tapandcraft.com
Festival of Slice returns in 2027 — and we’re heading back to the large exhibition space at the Niagara Falls Convention Center for an even bigger celebration of pizza.
And this year, we’re moving the party to January.
Because let’s be honest: January is boring. Pizza and wine help.
Saturday, January 30, 2027
4:30–7:30 PM
Niagara Falls Convention Center
101 Old Falls Street | Niagara Falls, NY
Festival of Slice brings together pizzerias, restaurants, specialty food vendors, desserts, drinks, and hundreds of fellow pizza lovers for one very cheesy Saturday night in Niagara Falls.
Come for a few slices. Stay for dinner. Try something new. Debate who makes the best pizza. Then go back for another slice.

HOW THE PIZZA TASTING WORKS
You decide how much — and how many — you want to try.
Once inside Festival of Slice, purchase $1 food tickets at the registration table and use them throughout the event.
Participating vendors will offer sample or party-style slices for approximately 1–2 tickets. Vendors may also offer full slices, specialty items, and other menu options for individual purchase.
Vendors may also accept cash.
Our recommendation: Bring $10 for a great sampling experience or plan on around $20 if you want to turn Festival of Slice into dinner.
Food tickets are not included with General Admission.
