Testimonials

SoCal Pizza Week was an incredible experience for our business. We gained outstanding exposure and brought in a lot of new customers throughout the event. The organizers were professional, responsive, and easy to work with every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. — Dan from Loosie’s Pizza

We were one of the last pizzerias to sign up for SoCal Pizza Week, and it ended up being an incredible experience from start to finish. The exposure, community support, and energy around the event exceeded our expectations—and winning Best Specialty Pizza was an unexpected and deeply encouraging boost for our team. We’re genuinely grateful to be part of something that celebrates great pizza and the people behind it. — Jason from Coastline Pizzeria

We were so happy to be part of SoCal Pizza Week. The exposure was incredible. The day after the live TV segment that Leysla and the team secured for us, we had 25+ new customers walk through our doors, and we continued seeing new faces throughout the entire week. — Jeff from The Ria Pizzeria
