Lexington Pizza Week: Participating restaurants, menus
Lexington Pizza Week, the annual excuse to eat pizza for virtually every meal, is back for a sixth year.
Organized by Smiley Pete, Lexington Pizza Week is Nov. 8-14 and features local and chain restaurants all over town offering special pizzas from their menus for a price of only $6.
Most restaurants offer at least two unique off-menu slices or small pizzas: A meat and a vegetarian option. Some have gluten-free crusts too, available for an additional charge.
There’s even a dessert option on the menu.
This year, more than a dozen restaurants are participating.
