National Pizza Day was February 9, but the REAL celebration of pizza is happening on March 7 in Salado, Texas!

4th Annual Texas Pizza Fest

If it were up to me, and carbs were not an issue, I would eat pizza every day of the week. What other food item allows you to design it however you want it, and still be a delicious pizza? The fourth annual Texas Pizza Fest in Salado, Texas is March 7, 2026, so start that crash diet now to make room for all that awesome pizza you will consume!

Pizza Trucks

This is how it will work. The cost of general admission gets you four tickets that you can redeem at the wood fired pizza trucks of your choice. Meanwhile, the trucks will be competing for Fan Favorite (the truck with the most tickets) Best Supreme and Critic’s Choice. There will also be pizza demonstrations to teach you how to make an awesome pizza as well as a pizza eating competition.

The Pizza People

David Portnoy's Top 15 Michigan Pizzas

Have you ever had a slice of pizza that was so delicious, that it reaffirmed your faith in humanity? Knowing that as long as there are simple pleasures, like the feel of a large triangle, dripping with gooey cheese, or holding a dense square of Detroit style and hearing the crunch of the crisp crust. Faith in humanity...restored.
