You can see in-depth workshops and live demonstrations in the expo hall. There are educational opportunities hosted by respected industry professionals Tony
G, Mike Bausch, and many more.

Many foods get one special day. Pizza has its own recognized month. October is national pizza month, which was first established in 1989.

Bill Oakley is the food group show manager, who said:

"The Northeast has the highest concentration of pizzerias and Italian restaurants in the U.S., so we're pulling out all the stops to make this biggest and best show ever," said Oakley.

"Based on the numbers to date, we're expecting a record attendance of more than 2,000 restaurateurs
who will converge on the Atlantic City Convention Center to learn, network, shop and eat,” said Oakley.

Oakley has also been making it a point of emphasis to remind all pizza restaurant tours about the major impact at the COVID-19 pandemic has had on pizzerias and Italian restaurants.

"For this year's event we wanted to add a little more excitement, so we're introducing a new Calzone and Young Pizza Maker of the Year competitions, as well
as a Happy Hour to close the show that we think will be a big hit,” said Oakley.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from renowned chefs, successful pizzeria owners. The goal of this expo is to provide direct contact with industry experts, to help position restauranteurs for success in the   future.

I’d be remiss, if I didn’t include New Jersey Senator Michael Testa (see above), who is most likely the Southern New Jersey region’s most prolific pizza connoisseur.

Bill Oakley will be appearing live, on-air with us this morning, Monday, October 17, 2022 from 8:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., ET.
