‘Pizza Freak’ Stacey Case Announces Cornwall Pizza Fest 2027, Partnering with United Way to Support Homelessness & Youth Initiatives

CORNWALL, ON — Stacey Case, the “Pizza Freak” and star of the Cornwall Pizza TV show Cheese On Top, has officially announced the launch of Cornwall Pizza Fest 2027. Taking place during March Break from March 12 to March 20, 2027, the nine-day celebration aims to transform Cornwall into a premier culinary destination for tourists while giving local families an exciting staycation experience.

More than just a culinary festival, the event carries a profound charitable mission. Case, who has personally experienced homelessness as a troubled youth, is partnering with the United Way to ensure a percentage of all funds raised during the festival goes directly toward supporting local community initiatives and housing security.

“This festival is about celebrating our incredible local culinary talent, but it’s also about lifting up our community. Having been homeless myself, I know how vital local support systems are. Partnering with the United Way allows us to give back directly to the city that makes us who we are. There’s nowhere to go but up!”
