PRESS RELEASE · FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Goshen, IN — April 19, 2026
Global Pizza Party Returns to Venturi Neapolitan Pizza Pub on Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026
On Friday, May 22, 2026, from 6:00–9:00 PM EDT, the Global Pizza Party returns to Venturi Neapolitan Pizza Pub for its second year. Hosted by local WEB3 advocate and recording artist Idris Busari (@rescueranjazz), the free community event commemorates Bitcoin Pizza Day — the 2010 transaction where 10,000 BTC bought two pizzas, sparking the first real-world crypto payment.
Attendees can expect authentic Neapolitan pizza made with ingredients flown in from Italy, cold drinks, crypto enthusiasts sharing bear-market lessons and future visions, Stand With Crypto advocacy, and lively conversations. Last year's inaugural celebration drew rave reviews for its perfect pairing of Venturi's award-winning pies and grassroots WEB3 energy.
"2025 was amazing — great vibes, incredible food from Venturi, and real connections. We're leveling up in 2026. Whether you're crypto-curious or a seasoned hodler, come for the free pizza and stay for the community." — Idris Busari
Venturi Neapolitan Pizza Pub, Indiana's sole Vera Pizza Napoletana–certified spot and featured in Esquire's "most life-changing pizzas," offers a cozy downtown setting perfect for this global-local celebration.
What to Expect: Free pizza & drinks · crypto networking & education · Stand With Crypto photo ops · special guests · high-energy fun.
