Organizers said 128 restaurants took part in those earlier events last year. (pressbanner.com) The format is simple: restaurants keep their regular menus and add a Pizza Week special, often a discounted pie, a slice offer or a fixed-price combo. Organizers said the event is open to any restaurant serving pizza or flatbreads. (bayareapizzaweek.com) (pressbanner.com) The deals vary by restaurant. A16 is offering its Bresaola and Artichoke 12-inch pizza for $28 at its San Francisco, Oakland and Napa locations, while Oakland’s plank is advertising a medium carne asada pizza for $18 on the official Pizza Week page. (a16pizza.com) (bayareapizzaweek.com) Organizers are also pushing an app tied to the promotion. The Bay Area Pizza Week site says diners can use it to find restaurants, and the event’s About page says users can earn prizes for ordering pizza, buying a drink and completing other tasks. (bayareapizzaweek.com 1) (bayareapizzaweek.com 2) The event is being promoted through a network of local media outlets including East Bay Express, Good Times Santa Cruz, Metro Silicon Valley, North Bay Bohemian and Pacific Sun, with official guides published on April 22. (bayareapizzaweek.com) For diners, the practical move is to check the official restaurant list before heading out: some locations are marked “Open Now,” some specials are posted on individual restaurant pages, and the offers run only through May 3.
