From Pumpkin Pie to Pizza Pie

Festa With Host Battista Vecchio

Why not enjoy some conversational Italian with a mouthful of fresh fire roasted pizza made by a local food entrepreneur and nostro amico with his own pizza oven?

Date/Time/Place: Saturday October 24, 2026 at 6:00 PM -Whenever/ Battista’s House (See below for Address)

Here’s what’s included:

- Be treated to fire roasted pizzas made by owner of Battista’s Calzone Co. Battista Vecchio & team for free. Grazie mille! He’s even going to have some pumpkin creations. Wow!

-Feel like enjoying something more than some pizza? Feel free to bring a potluck item of your choice (antipasti, insalata, dolce), including any beverages you’d like to drink.

-A donation bin to Edmonton Food Bank or U of A Student Food Bank will be on-site, and you’re encouraged to bring one non-perishable item. Great opportunity for charity & giving this Thanksgiving.

-A special invitation has been extended to The University of Alberta Italian Club to enjoy some free food & social time away from midterm exams. Take a break!

-Socialize in Italian (and some English) with other Italian language and culture lovers while enjoying the final days of fall.

-Feel great listening to Italian tunes throughout the social, and if you know the words, why not sing out loud for us? Have fun!

-Why not consider inviting a friend or two to enjoy some Italian culture & socializing? More the merrier.
