Cincinnati Magazine’s popular Slice Night returns to Yeatman's Cove for an evening of all-you-can-eat pizza for an incredible cause. The 10th annual Slice Night benefiting the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center is set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Slice Night is an outdoor event along the riverfront featuring pizza from ten popular Greater Cincinnati pizzerias with 100 percent of ticket proceeds benefiting cancer patients and care teams at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center. This event truly is a pizza lover’s dream.
“We look forward to this fun, delicious, family-friendly event every year, as we get to showcase some of our city’s incredible local pizzerias while supporting a very worthy local cause,” said Ivy Bayer, publisher of Cincinnati Magazine. “Slice Night is a fun and delicious way to not only experience a wide variety of pizza styles and toppings, but you’ll also feel good about devouring countless slices as 100% of proceeds go directly to the important work of the UC Cancer Center, and the patients they care for.”
Guests will enjoy live music by the The Satin Smooth Project while strolling the riverfront and enjoying unlimited pizza samples from Cincinnati’s favorite local pizzerias. Fritsch from Q102 will serve as the official event emcee. Bonus menu items include pasta, flatbreads, dessert and snacks from notable vendors and brands.
