The year was 1996 and a young Eric Francis was hungry.  But was his standard, go-to pizzeria really offering up the best pie in town?  Surely there were better alternatives…but where?  That night the Pizza Pigout was born.  Why not invite every pizzeria and restaurant in town to offer up its three finest pizzas and enlist the services of local celebs like Jeff Garcia, Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Jarome Iginla, Lanny McDonald, Kelly Hrudey and event TV Legend Buck Shot to help determine the very best of mozza moguls. 

Over 140 pizzas showed up that first year at Dusty’s and It, um mushroomed from there becoming the largest gathering of Calgary celebrities every year.  What’s more, the results are published in the Calgary Sun, giving Calgarians the definitive guide to ordering their next cheesy wheel.

Every year pizzerias from around the city come together to support KidSport Calgary & Area and our charity partners.  After a couple years off we returning to cowboys as we look to bring our community back together for 2022.  You can join as a sponsor, pizzeria, volunteer, pizza lover and food philanthropist.
