pizza show in vercellI!
Vercellese – Vercelli
In Vercelli, from March 27th to June 21st, pizza is the star of the first edition of the “Pizza Show” competition, an initiative by ASCOM and FIPE involving several pizzerias in Vercelli and the surrounding area!
How does it work? From March 27th to June 21st, the pizzerias participating in the “Pizza Show” initiative will offer a gourmet pizza on their menus. By ordering the featured pizza, customers will receive a stamp on their “Pizza Show” contest card. Once they’ve sampled five gourmet pizzas from five different pizzerias, they can enter the final draw to win one of three prizes:
First prize – An MSC Cruises cruise for 2 people
Second prize – A 75″ Ultra HD 4K LED TV
Third prize – An Atala Discovery FS 21V bicycle
A delicious and fun initiative! To discover the participating pizzerias and their menus, visit the Ascom Vercelli page or follow the Pizzashowvc Instagram page.
