Praise and celebrate the dish that earned a mention in a Dean Martin song with Home Slice Pizza's Eighth Annual Carnival O' Pizza. To mark the anniversary of the New York-style pizza joint, Home Slice will thank the community with carnival games, music, dancing, photo booths and competitions. Contests include "Hands on an Eggplant Sub," pizza eating, dough throwing and pizza box folding. To enter as a contestant, email slices@homeslicepizza.com.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Austin Bat Cave, providing children and teenagers with opportunities to develop their creative and expository writing skills.
