So this is how we're getting prepped for National Pizza Month, which is also known as "October" in some places: By finding those festive events that are sauce-luscious, crust-crunchable, and cheese-forward in all of the tummy-filling ways.
Locating such snackable scenes isn't too hard in September, a month that boasts both National Cheese Pizza Day (that was Sept. 5) and New York's Feast of San Gennaro, a world-famous event that boasts oodles of excellent authentic pies.
We're wrapping up the nummy ninth month, though, at ROW DTLA, where Smorgasburg LA, that free-to-enter food-stravaganza will be paying tribute to all sorts of melty, saucy, munchable Triangles of Wonder.

Well, triangles and classic squares, too: Pizza Day will feature a host of creative pizza pros air-twirling all sorts of interesting noshables. Both offbeat offerings and a solid line-up of traditional pies will be available, so your pizza pleasures should be amply addressed.

Pop-up participants at the toothsome 2024 to-do include Badmaash — look for Butter Chicken Pizza, oh delish, and Lamb Kebab Pizza, too — and Bocca Bocca Pizza, where a Spicy Salami Pizza will be the piquant star.

You can find more non-pizza-fied delicacies beyond the pies, triangles, and squares. Chunky cookies, Japanese soufflé pancakes, and other meal-completing confections will also be for sale around the market.
Entry is free, pups should stay open, and a Gozney pizza oven demo — Gozney is co-presenting the event — is also on the roster.
