If you’re a beer and pizza lover, look no further! Stella Artois is collaborating with some of New York’s most coveted restaurants to kick off Seaport Artois at Pier 16. Hurry up and book your experience here fast- tickets are flying!
Head over to Seaport Artois for a slice of heaven and a slice of New York culture.
Seaport Artois is a reservation-required experience where guests can enjoy Michelin-rated chefs' unique spin on the city’s claim to fame, pizza (or as all the kids are saying, zaaaaaaa). Open for a series of six events throughout the summer, Seaport Artois started on June 17th, 2021 and goes through August 19th, 2021. Head on over to the pier at 6 pm for a cold drink after work, and stay through 11 pm for a fun night out on the town.
As if alcohol and carbs weren't enough, NYC’s own, DJ Vashtie Kola, will be providing entertainment all night long. This might be the coolest pizza party you’ve ever been to. And, it’s supporting a good cause!
100 percent of the event’s proceeds will be donated to post-pandemic restaurant recovery and the James Beard Foundation. Eat good and feel good at the same time- except you might leave not being able to button your pants. But it’s always worth it for a greasy slice (or a whole pie!)

If you’re foodies like us, you’re probably wondering which chefs are taking their first crack at pizza. Keep an eye out for Chef Trigg Brown and Josh Ku of Win Son, a Taiwanese-American eatery and bakery in Brooklyn.
Alongside them, Chef Emma Bengtsson of Aquavit, a high-end Scandinavian restaurant, as well as Erik Ramirez, the head chef at one of New York City’s most renowned Peruvian restaurants, Llama Inn.
Don’t forget about Chef Alex Raij and Eder Montero of La Vara, a spanish tapas establishment with Moorish and Jewish influences. Last but certainly not least, get excited for Chef Hugue Dufour of M. Wells, a funky french-inspired steakhouse in Long Island city.
These world-renowned chefs may not typically work with Italian cuisine, but they sure know how to master the art of a New York slice. Plus, it’s super cool to see their quirky interpretations on our city’s most beloved food.
Seaport Artois is a pre-paid $50 experience which includes an amuse-bouche, an assortment of pizzas exclusive to the event, two glasses of Stella Artois beer, plus fun DJ entertainment. For all of that?! Sign us up.
