PMQ
and our trade show partners have
been busier than a one-armed pizza maker, working to make the New York
Pizza
Show a different and better kind of East Coast pizza show, and we’ve
done it.
Beside a whole new set of vendors and educational opportunities, you’ll
see
many brand new faces from the 35,000 pizza stores which are located
within only
700 miles of NYC. If you’re still not sure you’re coming, take a look
at the
Show Preview on page 98. Where else can you get all this for $50?
You’ll
read more on page 52 about
the amazing story of CEO Craig Moore and how he put CiCi’s Pizza on the
top in
just one short year. Congratulations to Craig and his management team
for
earning PMQ’s Pizza Industry Enterprise Award.
Now
that I
have your attention, there will be an Opening Night Social Tuesday,
November
2nd, where we'll enjoy refreshments provided by Rheingold Beer and
Frederick
Wildman & Sons, as well as cheeses from Grande. Tony Modica will
provide
entertainment as he performs his hit single "The Pizza Dance" and
other top songs. This fun-filled evening won't end there. PMQ will also
present
CiCi’s Pizza’s Craig Moore the 2004 PIE Award.
With
the national pizza champions
from each of these countries present at PMQ’s New York Pizza Show, we
just had
to have a gourmet pizza contest. Ooh and Ah as the world’s top pizza
makers vie
for the
Tom
Lehman, Big Dave, Kamron
Karington, Mike Roberts and most of your favorite PMQ contributors will
be
answering your questions at the “Ask the Experts” section on the show
floor at
scheduled times after seminars.
