There are plenty of bad ways to spend $10. Louisville Pizza Week would like to remind you that pizza is not one of them.
The annual celebration of cheese, sauce, crust, and questionable levels of self-control returns Nov. 9-15, when participating restaurants around Louisville will serve up special pizzas for $10.
For seven glorious days, local pizza joints will roll out everything from signature pies to off-menu creations, giving diners an excuse to branch out from their usual pepperoni order. It’s also a good excuse to eat pizza several times in one week and call it “participating in a community event.”
And some restaurants are getting creative with it.
Locals Food Hub & Pizza Pub is going a somewhat more traditional route with the Zeus, a 12-inch sourdough pie topped with mozzarella, pepperoni, red onion, house-pickled peppers, and feta. A mushroom substitution makes it vegetarian or vegan-friendly.
At Chef’s Cut Pizzeria, choose between a Sweet Heat 12-inch pepperoni or 12-inch bacon pizza drizzled with hot honey making it the perfect balance between of spicy and heat!
The whole thing is designed to encourage people to visit different pizza shops throughout the week, try something they might not normally order, and perhaps settle a few deeply important questions along the way: Thin crust or thick? Pineapple or absolutely not? Ranch on pizza or grounds for ending a friendship?
There’s also an official Louisville Pizza Week app, which diners can use while making their way through the participating restaurants and chasing prizes along the way.
Louisville Pizza Week runs Monday, Nov. 9, through Sunday, Nov. 15.
Come hungry. And maybe don’t make dinner plans for Nov. 16.
