Never been to this event before but have be urged by a friend to try it out. The list looks decent enough but im not sure what kind of operation this is. Do they cook pizzas there, or at their restaurants then truck them in? Has anyone been to this event in the past that can elaborate?

I've been to this the last two years. A fun time but very, very, very crowded. I might bring a blanket or something to sit on in the grassy areas. I'd get as much pizza as you could while the lines are short, then chill in the grass and enjoy the music.
Most of the restaurants (though I'm not sure if all...) have pizza ovens to the side of the LC and cook them on site. Lots and lots and lots of pizza. The restaurants actually take this event pretty seriously and bring out some of their best stuff.
The event benefits Nationwide Children's Hospital, which is important to remember when the lines get a bit long and when space gets a bit tight.

I think this is in the new Huntington Park this year? I attended about 3 years ago in the LC and haven't made the effort to go again, as it was such a disorganized, incredibly crowded, loud, & frustrating event. Hopefully, the new venue will improve the situation.

Yes, the move to Huntington Park should really help the logistics of the event. The pizza shops will be up in the concourse / concessions area, and weather permitting, the Bug Hounds will be playing down on the field, along with a kids area on the field.
