Crowded Table Pizza is a mobile farm-to-table pizza project rooted in agriculture, seasonal cooking and community.

Through pop-ups, farmers’ markets, educational workshops, and collaborative events that receive national recognition, pizza is used as an accessible entry point to conversations about where our food comes from and, of course, as a way to share a delicious and well-loved meal with friends old and new. What better to share than pizza, especially when it’s made with fresh, local ingredients that have a story to tell?
