The ninth edition of Pizza a Vico took place in Vico Equense from 15 to 17 September 2026, combining pizza, food-production showcases, cultural activities, inclusion initiatives and community participation.
Over the three days, organizers served 45,000 slices, equivalent to 4,500 pizzas of 50 centimetres and 2,250 metres of Pizza di Vico. The figures were reported by Metropolis Web and corroborated by la Repubblica and Lo Strillone.
Fundraising tickets sold out within hours
Fundraising tickets linked to three community projects sold out within hours on the first day. Organizers also reported record takings compared with previous editions.
The sources do not state the total amount raised or how much was allocated to each project.
The three projects supported
Proceeds supported three local initiatives:
- Restoration of the Cristo Morto statue
- Maintenance of the Montechiaro sports and play area
- “Oltre il Canile,” a project focused on animal adoptions and responsible animal care
The project list was reported independently by Metropolis Web and la Repubblica.
What the numbers mean
For readers, the headline totals break down as follows:
- 45,000 slices served across three days
- 4,500 individual 50-centimetre pizzas
- 2,250 metres of Pizza di Vico distributed
No independently audited attendance figure has been published. Reports describe thousands of people taking part, but that remains a descriptive estimate rather than a confirmed count.
Similarly, the published reports do not provide a complete list of participating pizzerias or an itemised breakdown of the 45,000 slices by producer or pizza type.
The three outlets repeat substantially similar information, providing corroboration for the totals, the dates, the ticket sellout and the record takings, while offering limited methodological independence.
