European Pizza and Pasta Show celebrates five years and you are invited! The European Pizza and Pasta Show is celebrating five years, and will take place at Olympia, London on the 18 and 19 October 2021 (www.pizzapastashow.com). Join us to celebrate the old, the new, the best and the tastiest – the one and only – pizza! PIZZA AND PASTA PIT STOP London’s Olympia National Hall will once again host the European Pizza and Pasta Show live on 18-19 October 2021. Organised in association with PAPA (the Pizza, Pasta and Italian Food Association, www.papa.org.uk) and with the support of Visit Britain, the event is a leading B2B meeting of one of the largest UK food and beverage industry segments – pizza, pasta and Italian food. Visited by 4,000 key buyers, the event showcases the latest products and technology for restaurants, pubs, cafés, takeaways, dark and shared kitchens, hotels, catering companies, as well as wholesalers, supermarkets, grocery stores and delicatessen from across the UK and Europe. “With so much competition, the industry’s chefs and developers are always 30
keen to find the next big thing. British Baker visited the European Pizza and Pasta Show to find out what’s hot in pizza. As the late Freddie Mercury once sang “I want it all, and I want it now”. That’s pretty much how Brits feel when it comes to pizza. Luckily, the industry is responding!” said Amy North of British Baker, reflecting on the event’s prominence. SHOWCASE Challenging the norms of today, the European Pizza and Pasta Show has become an integral showcase for innovation and origination - a stage for some world leading pizza chefs to demonstrate their expertise and skills in support of the industry. From cooking master classes to the European Pizza Championship and the hotly contested PAPA Pizza Chef of the
Year Final, the event will bring together experts and industry leaders from across the pizza, pasta and Italian food sector to discuss the present and the future of our industry. The show’s seminars stage will feature a Food Service and Grocery Retail Summit where strategies and solutions in today’s post pandemic world, the role of supply chain and its impact on the industry, adapting to changes in consumer behaviour and shopping habits, successful e-commerce strategies for grocery trade, and much more, will all be discussed. Ajmal Mushtaq (pictured), one of the UK’s leading authorities in the takeaway sector, will be headlining the show on the 18 October. Besides being October 2021
