 <\/p>\n

People were promised an awesome festival filled with great food, entertainment and more! All for the low price of just $75. However, that wasn’t the case.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New York City Pizza festival was promoted as \u201ca day long celebration of the dough, cheese, tasty sauces and delicious toppings\u201d with a “uniquely authentic island cuisine experience\u201d and\u201clocal seafood, Bahamian-style sushi and even a pig roast.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

When paying guests showed up, they are severely disapointed.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like the people from Fyre Festival decided to throw a pizza party,\u201d Connell Burke told\u00a0Gothamist<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIt was my girlfriend\u2019s birthday so I got the VIP tickets, so I spent $150 total for the two tickets. There\u2019s three pop-up tents to my left, one where they\u2019re taking cold pizzas out of delivery boxes and cutting them.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis thing is a joke!!! 4 tents, plates with small slices, over an hr wait to get in and we are still waiting now!!\u201d\u00a0wrote\u00a0<\/a>one guest. \u201cDon\u2019t bother peeps!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Those pictures don\u2019t do it justice,” continued Burke. “Because they look like they\u2019re normal-sized plates but they\u2019re actually cake-sized, like what you\u2019d use for cake at a children\u2019s birthday party. They\u2019re small, tiny little slivers of pizza.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI imagined it would be like, Roberta\u2019s has a brick oven pizza that they tow, there\u2019d be all these different vendors, all this different kind of pizza. And there was none of that,\u201d one attendee said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The organizers actually addressed some of these concerns the day of and asked people not to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHi guys, we\u2019ve been hit by an incredible amount of delays in pizza delivery. Fresh, diverse, and delicious pizza was supposed to be delivered every 30 minutes,\u201d they wrote by 7 p.m. on Saturday. \u201cA make-up tasting will be announced shortly. Sincere apologies. Please do not come for the rest of the night\u2019s tastings. Apologies for inconvenience!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
