It is hosted by lokel group and Hoboken Happy Hours, and this year’s official charity partner is Party With Purpose, a volunteer run Hudson County nonprofit.

How Hoboken Pizza Fest Works
Start at Urban Coalhouse on 14th Street between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to pick up your Pizza Passport. The passport is required, and check in closes promptly at 3 p.m., so do not cut it close. From there, visit the participating restaurants in any order and at your own pace. Each stop marks your passport, and one passport equals one sample per guest.
Organizers ask guests not to crowd in big groups outside restaurants. If one line is long, head to another stop and circle back. Seating inside is limited, so only grab a table if you plan to order more food or drinks.
