WEATHER ROUND-UP
Despite the brisk downturn in temperature last weekend, it looks like the weather gods will be on our side, with forecast highs of 20-plus degrees Celsius and radiant sunshine throughout. That’s good news for all you hungry, toga-wearing festival-goers who should be in good stead to munch away unencumbered by layers (well, at least until the sun goes down).
If you missed the brilliant line-up of entertainment we have set for you, catch up here, and if you have no idea how to wrap a toga, read this handy guide. Otherwise, keep scrolling for info on how to get to this year’s bacchanalian celebration of all things ‘za.
How to get to this year’s Pizza Festival
This year’s Pizza Fest once again takes place at a venue we’re now very familiar with (and fond of): Zaha Hadid’s swooping Chaoyangmen building, Galaxy Soho.
Located just a hop, skip, and a jump from central Beijing, Galaxy Soho is a breeze to get to no matter where in the city you’re coming from.

If you’re planning to get there by taxi, ask your driver to take you to 银河Soho (yínhé soho) or 朝阳门桥西南角 (cháoyángmén qiáo xīnánjiǎo, literally “the southwest corner of Chaoyangmen bridge”).
Now that you know how to get there, the only thing left to do is scoff down as many slices as you can on Saturday and Sunday to give yourself the best understanding of Beijing’s pizza scene – it’s what the Romans would have wanted. That knowledge will go a long way to informing your votes in this year’s Pizza Cup, which officially starts at 11am on Saturday, with the commencement of the festival and just as the first revelers enter the Galaxy Soho grounds.
