Bay Area Pizza Week — special pizza deals

Bay Area Pizza Week is underway, with Bay Area and Central Coast restaurants running limited-time pizza specials through Sunday, May 3. (pressdemocrat.com) The 2026 promotion began Wednesday, April 22, and spans 12 days across 11 counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Sonoma. (bayareapizzaweek.com) Organizers say restaurants can offer a special pizza at a special price, plus slice deals and meal combos, while keeping their regular menus in place. The official guides also ran April 22 in East Bay Express, Good Times Santa Cruz, Metro Silicon Valley, North Bay Bohemian and Pacific Sun. (bayareapizzaweek.com) This year’s event folds together local pizza-week promotions that ran in 2025 in the North Bay, Santa Cruz and Silicon Valley into one regional campaign. Press Banner reported 128 restaurants took part in those events last year, with more expected in 2026. (pressbanner.com) The format is simple: diners use the event site to find participating restaurants and their one-off pies, then order during the April 22-May 3 window. The event site also says participating restaurants appear in an app where diners can earn prizes for ordering pizza, buying a drink and completing other tasks. (bayareapizzaweek.com) The deals vary sharply by restaurant. A16 said its San Francisco, Rockridge and Napa locations are offering a Pizza Week menu for $42 per person, or pizza only for $28, from April 22 through May 3. (a16pizza.com) Other listings skew cheaper and more casual. Slice House in Mountain View advertised a Pizza Week happy hour from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. with a slice and draft beer for $11, while Campbell Pizza Company listed buy-one-get-one 50% off any pizza and a slice-and-beer happy hour for $11 Monday through Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. (bayareapizzaweek.com 1) (bayareapizzaweek.com 2) Some restaurants are using the promotion to showcase new pies rather than broad discounts. State of Mind Slice House listed its “Althea” spring pizza at $6.25 a slice or $36 whole, and The Fink in Napa listed a 14-by-14-inch Sicilian square pie for $36. (bayareapizzaweek.com 1) (bayareapizzaweek.com 2) The East Bay Express’s local guide named North Beach Pizza in Berkeley, Plank in Oakland, A16 Oakland, Square Pie Guys in Walnut Creek, Parktown Pizza in Pleasanton, and Tandoori Pizza locations in Richmond and Fremont among the East Bay participants. (eastbayexpress.com) For diners, the catch is timing: the offers are tied to the event window, and some specials are limited to certain hours or locations. The full restaurant list and current offers are posted on the event site, which is the fastest way to see what is still available before Pizza Week ends on May 3. (bayareapizzaweek.com)
