The sale is set for Thursday, July 16, 2026, at 2 p.m. ET. Only 10,000 passes will be available, and since the pass debuted in 2014, they have sold out within minutes each year they were offered. Fans looking to secure one should be ready at PastaPass.com when the clock hits 2 p.m.
How Much the Pasta Pass Costs and What Is Included
Each pass is priced at $100 plus tax. That covers 13 weeks of unlimited pasta with homemade sauces and protein toppings, plus never-ending soup or salad and breadsticks on every visit. Passholders also get early access to the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl promotion starting Aug. 24, a week before it opens to the general public on Aug. 31.

The Never-Ending Pasta Bowl runs from Aug. 31 through Nov. 22, 2026, starting at $14.99 for the general public. EClub members and Pasta Passholders get early access beginning Aug. 24. The promotion features 120 possible combinations of pastas, sauces, and protein toppings, with unlimited refills and never-ending soup or salad and freshly baked breadsticks included.
