Mayor Bill de Blasio came to Arthur Avenue to cut the ribbon for the first Annual NY Pizza Festival. Before he cut the ribbon the mayor showed us that he didn't need a knife and fork today, and that he could also speak while eating some delicious pizza. Pizza makers came from all over the country as dozens of booths were set up for ticket buyers to select which pizza they wanted to taste.
