Bay Area Pizza Week, Apr 22–May 3

Bay Area Pizza Week starts Wednesday, April 22, with 12 days of limited-time pies, slices and combo deals at restaurants across the region. (pressdemocrat.com) The event runs through Sunday, May 3, and the official site lists 85 participating restaurant locations in 11 counties, from Alameda and San Francisco to Santa Cruz and Sonoma. (bayareapizzaweek.com, bayareapizzaweek.com) The promotion grew out of separate North Bay, Santa Cruz and Silicon Valley pizza weeks held in 2025, then expanded into a single Bay Area event for 2026. (pressbanner.com) Organizers say restaurants can be pizzerias or any spot serving pizza or flatbreads, and each participant is expected to offer a special pie, slice or discounted menu during the run. (pressbanner.com, bayareapizzaweek.com) The footprint is broad enough to reach Fremont-area diners. East Bay Express listed Tandoori Pizza in Fremont, along with Berkeley, Oakland, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton and Richmond stops in the East Bay. (eastbayexpress.com) Some restaurants are publishing their offers in advance. A16 said its San Francisco, Rockridge and Napa locations will run a Pizza Week special priced at $28, with a separate $42-per-person menu also tied to the promotion. (a16pizza.com) The event also has a mobile app that organizers say lets diners find restaurants, check in, post photos and earn prizes or giveaway entries tied to their visits. (bohemian.com, pressbanner.com) Last year, 128 restaurants took part across the predecessor pizza-week events, according to Press Banner, and organizers said they expected participation to grow in 2026 as the promotion went regional. (pressbanner.com) For diners, the practical move is simple: check the official restaurant list and each venue’s menu before heading out, because the event is regionwide but the specials are set by individual restaurants.
