Lexington Pizza Week is here. Here is the menu of special pies you can try for $6
If you ever needed an excuse to eat pizza, then Lexington Pizza Week is it. The annual event, which was pushed into November by the coronavirus pandemic this year, offers a chance to try imaginative pies at a great price.
For $6 each, you can get great pizza at a dozen local pizzerias, some with more than multiple locations. Each restaurant is offering at least one meat special and one vegetarian special. (Some are doing two of each.) Many locations also offer a gluten-free crust for an additional charge. Beer pairings also are offered.
Lexington Pizza Week, organized by Smiley Pete, will continue through Nov. 22. All the small pizzas or off-menu slices are $6. Download the Lexington Pizza Week app for a digital passport and you can keep track of how many you’ve tried. Check in at restaurants and post a photo for a chance to win the Ultimate Pizza Party for you and 24 guests.
