UPDATE: As of Noon on 3/21, Best Bites: Pizza is officially sold out!
On March 24th, Columbus Underground will be hosting Best Bites: Pizza — a celebration of the city’s best pizza shops, pizza food trucks, restaurants and more. A limited number of tickets are still available, so be sure to purchase yours online before they’re sold out. To get your tastebuds watering, we’ll be previewing what each of our participating pizza makers will be showcasing at the event:
Uno Pizzeria and Grill draws inspiration from a long tradition of deep dish pizza, dating back to 1943. True to their artisan heritage, each restaurant makes their pizza dough fresh every morning. They ensure pizza is an experience for eaters, boasting taller deeper crusts that contain more cheese and toppings than your standard pie.
At Best Bites: Pizza, Uno Pizzeria and Grill will be featuring their Chicago Classic pizza. This deep dish pizza is for topping lovers, as it has extra of all three of its toppers – Mozzarella Cheese, Sausage and Chunky Tomato Sauce.
