Europizza Fest

Europizza Fest: Where Pizza Meets Europe in Rivoli

Europizza Fest is the event that transforms the center of Rivoli, located in the province of Turin, into a grand street festival dedicated to pizza, European culture, and solidarity. Promoted by the City of Rivoli in collaboration with TurismOvest and the Twinning Committee, the event was created for Europe Day to celebrate the values of the Union through a popular, participatory format open to all.

The Heart of the Festival: Piazza I Portici

The stage for the event is Piazza I Portici, along Via Rombò, in the heart of Rivoli. For two days, three ovens are fired up and local pizzerias take turns, while the square fills with aromas, music, and activities for all ages. The atmosphere is the convivial and welcoming one typical of Piedmontese street festivals, where good food becomes an opportunity for meeting and community.

Pizza Europa and Cooking Demos with Luciano Sorbillo

The star of the edition is master pizzaiolo Luciano Sorbillo, who leads the cooking demonstrations and signs off on the Pizza Europa, a special creation made together with the Twinning Committee using ingredients that evoke Rivoli's twin cities: Kranj (Slovenia), Ravensburg (Germany), Mollet del Vallès (Spain), and Montélimar (France). A symbolic pizza that puts the diversity and unity of the continent on the plate.

Program: Workshops, Music, and Solidarity

• Cooking demonstrations with Luciano Sorbillo and the preparation of the Pizza Europa.
• Pizza in the Square evening event with three ovens and three local pizzerias.

A Charitable Event

Europizza Fest is not just about taste and fun: the event has a strong social value. Part of the proceeds is donated to the 'Custodi del Grano' cultural association, which is committed to promoting agricultural traditions and cooperation. The event is also part of a wider weekend dedicated to volunteering, involving numerous local associations.
