ABOUT US
YYC Pizza Fest is an annual event with charity, community, and pizza crusts in mind. Each year, local participating restaurants craft an original recipe in a competition to be lauded Calgary's best pizza.
How does it work?
Choose a pizza from our list of contestants, head over during their business hours to try it, and then rate it to help us decide who will win! Our award categories include: top rated pizza, most popular pizza, most innovative pizza, and fan favourite crust.
$1-$4 from every pizza sold supports Calgary Meals on Wheels, thereby directly providing nutritious meals to Calgarians.

We will be accepting collaborative posts from anyone - with priority going to participating vendors. Acceptance will be based on quality, content & frequency.
For example, if we get an influx of collaborative post requests featuring a specific business we will only accept a few. -
We will share as many stories as we can, again taking into consideration quality and frequency.

Content with ratings. We adore when people share their personal ratings for entries, but we aren't going to share anything that could influence other folks away from an entry based on personal opinion.
Content with minor's faces. We love seeing your kids trying treats but out of respect and caution we will not be sharing to our social media. Please DM us should you have additional questions.
Influx of media for any one business. We want to feature as many vendors as we can, not flood feeds with one spot. This is just to keep things fair.
Is your media not being shared? Take a look at what is being shared and build your media around those examples for a better chance.
