Cleveland Pizza Week fires up its ovens again starting Monday, with dozens of restaurants across the region slinging pizzas for $12 or less through November 15. The event asks nothing extra of hungry diners — no drink minimum, no appetizer add-on, just pizza at a set price for seven days straight.
The event's official website, clevelandpizzaweek.com, lists the dates plainly: November 9 through 15, 2026. Per the site, each participating restaurant will bake up its own spin on the deal, meaning the $12-or-less pizzas on offer could range from classic cheese pies to more inventive combinations depending on where diners stop in. The site also makes clear that “purchase of extras are not a requirement,” so there's no need to order a soda or a side of wings just to cash in on the discount.
As FOX 8 News reports, this year's lineup keeps pizzas at $12, matching last year's price, and the deal applies to 10-inch minimum pizzas of all styles. According to the station, the price also excludes drinks, appetizers, and tips — reinforcing the no-extras promise made by organizers. FOX 8's reporting lists Angelo's Pizza, BrewDog Cleveland, Danny Boy's, Dewey's Pizza, and Good Pizza among the participating venues, though the station notes the full roster of restaurants and bars is subject to change at any time.
Tracking Your Pizza Crawl
Organizers are encouraging participants to track their pizza-eating progress through an app that can help diners map out their week and try new restaurants, according to the event website. The same source notes that some restaurants may be offering takeout or delivery options as well, and the app can help confirm which locations provide those options before diners head out. FOX 8 also reports that Cleveland Pizza Week has offered prizes in prior years to people who visited multiple eateries, a tradition that has become part of the event's appeal for repeat participants.
A Companion to Cleveland's Wing Week
Cleveland Pizza Week isn't the only citywide food promotion making the rounds this year. FOX 8 notes the event is comparable to Cleveland Wing Week, which brought $10 wing deals to the region from August 17 through 23, according to clevelandwingweek.com. That event also gave app users a shot at winning $250 in gift cards by checking in at four participating restaurants, giving Cleveland diners a taste of the gamified, app-driven approach that's becoming a staple of the city's recurring food weeks.
Past iterations of Pizza Week have drawn wide participation. A previous Cleveland Scene report on an earlier edition of the event described it as seven days of celebrating pizza with dozens of Northeast Ohio's best restaurants, with deals also capped at $12 or less — including, in at least one case, any one-topping pizza for $9. Past editions have also featured single-topping specials, including a $9 one-topping pizza.
With the clock ticking toward Monday's kickoff, Cleveland pizza fans have just a handful of days to plan their routes. Between the official event app and the restaurant list posted at clevelandpizzaweek.com, diners have seven days to sample the city's pizza scene without breaking $12 a pie — extras optional, pizza mandatory.
