About the organizers The Pizza Matta Festival is the result of a collaboration between three enthusiasts of gastronomy and cultural events.
Demetrio Maso, founder of the Facebook group Pizza Québec—a community of more than 95,000 pizza enthusiasts across the province—pizza trainer in Quebec, and cultural event producer. David Simard, technical director with more than 20 years of experience in the field at Quebec’s largest festivals.
They are partnering with Thien Vu Dang, co-founder and co-director of LES ÉVÉNEMENTS ASIASIE, the organization behind YATAI MTL, Canada’s largest Japanese street market, which attracts more than 47,000 visitors over four days.
Together, they combine their expertise to make Pizza Matta a festive and delicious event not to be missed.
🎉 BONUS : 2 festivals in 1 ! Alongside Pizza Matta, the site will also host the very first edition of RAMEN RAMEN DE RUE, an event dedicated to street ramen, bringing together several kiosks specializing in this iconic Japanese dish.
