Pizza lovers can get knead deep in dough when the annual Pizza Festival returns to the capital on Sept 16-17 at Wangjing Soho.

The Pizza Festival, organized by The Beijinger magazine, is bringing participants crusty, oven-baked treats topped with cheese and tomato goodness.

This year's fest will take on a carnival theme to bring a splash of color to Beijing. There'll be music from some of the city's best live performers, including The Hungers, The Mac Daddies and several DJs, as well as carnival games, magic shows and dancers.

More than 50 food and drink vendors will be on site to make sure visitors have plenty to satisfy their hunger and quench their thirst. History will also be in the making, with the Guinness Book of World Records coming to record what will hopefully be the biggest dough toss of all time.

Tickets for the event are 25 yuan at the door. Visitors can also book in advance for 20 yuan and enjoy an added secret gift to enjoy at the festival.
