A never before seen pizza showdown is coming your way!

This fall at Eataly, some of New England’s most decorated athletes will trade their jerseys for pizzaioli (pizza maker) aprons and step up to our authentic Neapolitan wood-fired ovens. Pizza-making skills will be put to the test as each athlete competes for the title of “Best Pizzaiolo Pro.”

On October 24, athletes Rob Ninkovich and Jarvis Green of the New England Patriots will trade their jerseys for pizzaioli (pizza maker) aprons and step up to our authentic Neapolitan wood-fired ovens. Two of New England’s most decorated athletes will put their pizza-making skills to the test and compete for the title of “Best Pizzaioli Pro!”  At the end of the night, guests can taste and vote for their favorite pizza as well as meet and have their photo taken with the guest athletes.

And the best part of all? Portions of proceeds from tickets and pizza sales will go to each athlete’s charity of choice. Jarvis Green’s charity of choice is the Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation (dedicated to finding a treatment and eventual cure for Pitt Hopkins Syndrome) and Rob Ninkovich’s charity of choice is The Light Foundation (helps youth achieve their highest potential by providing them with unique outdoor learning experiences).
