Pizza Week celebrates pizza of all kinds, with local restaurants cooking up special menus and creative options,” said Kristen Adamo, President & CEO of the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau.
“Pizza Week is a great time to hit up your neighborhood pizza shop or scout out some new favorites. From traditional cheese and pepperoni to pies that really go outside the (pizza) box, Pizza Week offers a taste for everyone,” Adamo added.
The celebration of the live runs through April 22. PWCVB also asks eaters to take a moment to vote for their favorites.

PWCVB will be awarding the top restaurant in each category: Most Delicious, Most Creative, and Most Instragammable.
