East Bay Express separately highlighted East Bay stops including Plank in Oakland and Tandoori Pizza in Richmond.

The event site says official guides also appear in the April 22 print editions of East Bay Express, Good Times Santa Cruz, Metro Silicon Valley, North Bay Bohemian and Pacific Sun.

Press Banner reported that last year 128 restaurants took part in those earlier pizza-week events before the format expanded across the Bay Area in 2026. (pressbanner.com) Restaurants are also using the promotion to push fixed-price specials. A16 said its three locations are offering a $28 pizza special and a $42-per-person Pizza Week menu from April 22 through May 3. (a16pizza.com) The event comes with a mobile app that organizers say lets diners find participating spots, check in, rate meals, post photos and earn prizes. North Bay Bohemian is also running a giveaway tied to 25-plus participating North Bay restaurants, with drawings scheduled for May 20 and June 17.

The official site is posting the current roster and restaurant pages as the promotion runs. (bayareapizzaweek.com)
