Pizza Nova raises more than $200K for children's charity

June 10, 2025

Pizza Nova has raised $21,045 in support of Variety — the Children's Charity of Ontario. The donation was part of the brand's 26th annual That's Amore Pizza for Kids fundraiser, according to a press release.

"Each year, I'm reminded of how powerful community can be when we come together for a meaningful cause," Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova, said in the press release. "Thanks to the generosity of our guests and the dedication of our franchisees and team members, we're able to help open doors for children to grow, play, and thrive. It's a tradition that continues to inspire all of us at Pizza Nova."

Pizza Nova donated 50 cents from every dip sold at participating locations across Ontario throughout the month of May. The 2025 campaign featured a weekly pop-up pizza shop at the Variety Village Café, offering fresh slices and dips to support the cause.

"We are incredibly grateful for Pizza Nova's unwavering support," Charlie Johnstone, president and CEO of Variety Ontario, said in the press release. "Their commitment has made a profound impact on the lives of countless children and families across Ontario."

Since the partnership began in 1999, Pizza Nova has raised over $2.9 million for Variety, helping thousands of children with disabilities access inclusive sports, recreational programs, and life skills development.

Pizza Nova was founded in 1963 and has more than 150 stores and concession locations in Southern Ontario.
