What a night at Slice of Springfield! 🍕 Congratulations to our 2026 champion, Station 1, who took home the top honor on Thursday night. Second place went to Mikey's Pizza, and third place to The Villa Pizzeria. The competition was fierce, the slices were hot, and the community showed up hungry and ready. We are so grateful to every pizza vendor, sponsor, and participant who made the night such a success. Best of all, every slice served helps support our local parks through the Clark County Park District, National Trail Parks & Recreation District That means your love of pizza turns into trails, playgrounds, programs, and preserved green space.

A huge thank you to our Event Sponsor, Park National Bank, Springfield Ohio; our Premier Sponsors, Appex Commercial Group, BCS Roofing & Solar, The Comer Group at Coldwell Banker Heritage, Mother Stewart's Brewing, and Wallace & Turner, Inc.; our Co-Sponsors, Loti and The Stuckey Firm, LLC; and our Pizza Sponsors, Alpha HVAC, BGMF CPAs, Clark Shaffer Hackett, Conroy Funeral Home, Elliott Insurance Agency, Springfield Ohio History, Visit Greater Springfield, KB&P Financial Partnersm Link-Hellmuth Insurance, NBI Group, Mershon's, and Store All.
