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 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

a CEO of Boss Pizza, he writes for many of the UK’s leading trade magazines and is a regular feature on television/news for his expert views.

The show programme, cooking master classes and competitions are free to attend for all visitors and offer unique opportunities for open industry discussion and networking during the two days of the event. Exhibitors old and new will be on hand to provide more information about their products.

“Molino Caputo has been participating as a sponsor and an exhibitor at the European Pizza and Pasta Show for five years. The event is really important for showcasing our products and communicating our values, a place where we meet many friends every year,” said Antimo Caputo, MD of Molino Caputo, the famous Neapolitan brand of pizza flour.

“EPPS is the essential B2B event for Italian companies planning to enter or seeking to establish themselves in the English market. Join us to see and to taste Molino Caputo’s unique take on Italian excellence. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our stand.”

Sponsored by Molino Caputo, GI Metal, Jestic, PeppaCo, SaltWell and Petra Srl, the event will unite industry and market, delivering two days of excitement and innovation on stage with the best chefs in attendance to show us how - through making the dough to how to achieve the best taste cooking one of the oldest pies known to mankind!

NEW SPONSORS

Saltwell have joined the show as a Product Sponsor of the EPPS Cooking Stage (Salt Reduction). In addition, Saltwell representatives will take part in the seminars programme, discussing the latest steps for sodium reduction in food production and its importance for public health and wellbeing.

With increasing restrictions on high salt food in 2021, it is time to give pizzas the green light, feel the company (an estimated 2.5 million deaths could be prevented each year if global salt consumption were reduced, they point out).

Saltwell is a sea salt with naturally less sodium, but that tastes, looks and performs just like regular salt, claim the company. Naturally 35% lower in sodium, it can be used as a direct swap for normal salt while still offering the same taste, function, and performance, together with “sea salt” or ”salt” clean label declaration, a unique grain with no added potassium and no bitterness or metallic off-notes, the company add.

The PEPPADEW® brand have joined the show as a EPPS Silver Sponsor and Product Sponsor of EPPS Cooking Stage. Visitors will be able to explore the PEPPADEW® brand Sweet Piquanté Pepper range, produced especially for the hospitality and industrial industries, say the company. Their range boasts various product and packaging formats, including whole (de-seeded) and diced Sweet Piquanté Peppers available in both ambient and frozen options.
