The Fifth Annual Tucson Originals Pizza Throwdown is going down at Fresco Pizzeria and Pastaria from 6 – 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 15.
This year’s Pizza Throwdown is featuring nine restaurants. In other words, there’s going to be a lot of pies being tossed around and waiting for you to take a bite. To make it even more fun, three local breweries are showing up to the event to keep you hydrated and in the steady mode of maximum pizza consumption.
Luckily, they’ll be battling each other — and not you.
Tickets are $30 per person and include three drink tickets and all of the slices of pizza you can manage.
When it’s all said and done — and eaten — you’ll have the chance to vote for your favorite slice of heavenly pizza, so be sure to taste as many as you can.
