What city is most obsessed with pizza?

According to one source, it’s Philadelphia. Not only is the City of Brotherly Love home to PizzaCon this month, but it also ranks as the No. 1 city in the world when it comes to pizza-related Google searches. That information comes from Chef’s Pencil, which scoured Google Trends search data and discovered that Philly is “the most pizza-obsessed city in the world.”

According to Chef’s Pencil, Philadelphia has “the highest percentage of pizza-related Google searches relative to all local searches.”  That’s good stuff!

It makes sense considering the city’s high Italian American population. Philly is second only to New York City in that regard.

Of course, this report from Chef’s Pencil was just released and we did not have this data when we selected Philadelphia to host PizzaCon on November 7. But it sure seems to fit nicely, nonetheless.

What else fits nicely at PizzaCon? The exhibiting activation stations! While there will be the sampling you’ve come to expect at our events, these activations provide attendees with an opportunity to receive a hands-on, consultative approach to using the products and wares our exhibiting friends will be promoting to the industry. You’ll want to take plenty of time at each station asking questions and figuring out which goods are a fit for your business.

It’s not every day that you’re able to talk shop with subject matter experts who can help improve your
bottom line, so take advantage of the knowledge that will be available at each activation station.

Likewise, be sure to listen in on the seminars that best meet your needs at PizzaCon as well. For a look at the subjects, flip to the article.

We’re really excited to see you in Philadelphia this month at PizzaCon. Please grab me or Denise, introduce yourself and say hello. We’re currently looking for Hot Slice podcast guests for the winter (hint, hint).

Best,
