Wonder how many hipsters fell for this scam. Turns out the people that ran this scam also ran the African Food Festival scam and a previous Burger Festival scam too during the summer.
I don't see it as a scam as much as paying top dollar to live in the hood which is the norm. In a few years the $75 pizza will come on artsy plates made with recycled paper mache held together by organic all natural glue. Oh yeah don't forget to add a cup of fancy coffee freshly dripped out of the azz of a weird animal.
Ugh. I went to the African Food Festival, thrown by the same organizer, last year. That event was a major disappointment (although I only paid $10 for the early bird tickets). It was so poorly organized; absolutely none of the things promised were available: no celebrity chefs, only 3 or 4 food vendors (25+ were promised), people had to pay for food samples that were supposed to be included in the ticket prices... it was so bad that I knew to not attend any other events by this same organizer. In fact, this summer the same promoter had a Jollof (jollof is a west African rice dish) food festival that I was excited to attend until I learned who was throwing it.
Anyway, it's no surprise that pizza fest was a disaster. Though I'd say it could be a good idea becase there are a lot of good pizza places throughout the city but this would probably be better organized as a "pizza crawl" where you can get (hot) pizza samples from different restaurants.
OMG I feel so bad for people who paid for it and drove from far away. I saw pictures. The pizza was smaller than a palm and it was cold. I hope these people get their money back!
