I forgot to mention - not a single pizza offered at the "Chicago Pizza Fest" was any of the three varieties of Chicago style pizza.

Everything at the Pizza Fest was fine except for the pizza, which was just plain bad. A couple of the places seemed like they had okay flavors, but I couldn't get past the congealed cheese.

The organizers should be ashamed of themselves in calling this Chicago Pizza Fest. This event is a disgrace to Chicago pizza.

so it was a beautiful day and i had a nice enough time, but the pizza itself was kind of blah. i understand that it would be a lot of work to have anything more than heat lamp pizza at an outdoor festival, but why bother having a "pizza fest" if you're not going to ramp it up a bit? i don't expect anyone to bring their brick oven in from their restaurant, but there are alternatives. anyway, if it's the same old thing next year, i probably won't return. i did, however, appreciate that you could get sample-sized slices from most of the purveyors for 1 ticket ($1). however, i didn't really see the point of trying more than a couple of samples.
