New York Hosts Pizza Show and Culinary Competition

PMQ’s 4th Annual New York Pizza Show Heads to the Javits Center

Oxford, Miss. (February 27, 2007) – Now in its fourth year, the New York Pizza Show, produced by PMQ’s Pizza Magazine (www.pmq.com) and held in conjunction with the International Restaurant & Foodservice Show of New York, has once again invited pizza industry manufacturers and pizzeria operators to converge on the Jacob K. Javits Center on March 9-11.
This year’s lineup will include a show floor packed with companies on hand to explain their equipment, food products and services; performances by PMQ’s own U.S. Pizza Team and the creator of the Pizza Dance, Tony Modica; and the always anticipated America’s Plate Competition, an international culinary competition that awards the Best Pizza in the World.
Along with enjoying great pizza entertainment and getting the chance to taste-test some of the best pizzas from around the globe, attendees will walk away from PMQ’s Pizza Show with tons of information and a newfound excitement about their craft.
