The championships, launched in association with the Associazione Pizzerie Italiane (API), will see chefs from across Ireland battle it out to be crowned national pizza champion.
In addition to the Pizza Championships, Food & Bev Live 2020 will once again be hosting the National Barista Championships, the Bartenders Association's Irish Cocktail Championships and the Chef Ireland Culinary Competitions.
Patrick Clements, chairman of IFSA, said that with thousands of visitors expected to attend, Food & Bev Live is one of the most eagerly anticipated foodservice events of the year.
Clements stated, "We are proud that the show has become firmly established in the food and drink industry calendar and we are looking forward to a busy two days.
"We are aware that we can't be complacent and must continue to work hard to make sure buyers and suppliers feel it is a valuable experience and worth taking time out of their diary to attend.
"We're delighted to be expanding the features portfolio at the show, which showcases the strength of talent of Ireland's foodservice industry, which in turn will attract new exhibitors and visitors, making Food & Bev Live a must-attend event."
