SUMMER SLICE-A-THON MAKES A SPLASH

WHAT IS IT?

You (a home pizza-maker/hobbyist) can sign up to host a pizza party or pop-up to raise funds for our Pie it Forward project. We’ll use the funds to support shelters and soup kitchens in your area. Last year, participating home chefs raised $27k — that’s a lot of dough!

HOW DOES THE FUNDRAISING WORK?

Register to host a pizza party or pop-up and we’ll email you a unique QR code, which will lead to a crowdfunding page specifically for your fundraising. Guests can submit a donation in the size of their choice. You can donate any or all of the money you raise at your pop-up using the same QR code.

WHEN IS SUMMER SLICE-A-THON?

Registration is open NOW and will remain open through the summer. Click the button below to join! You can host your pizza party or pop-up anytime this summer, between July 1 and September 30.

DO I HAVE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL PIZZA MAKER TO PARTICIPATE?

Nope! This campaign is designed specifically for home pizza makers to give them the chance to do #Pizza4Good. Whether you’ve been feeding your friends and neighbors have relied on you for Friday night pizza for years or you’re just starting out on your pizza making journey, this campaign is for you! We’ve put together a booklet with recipes and tips from a group of pizzaioli who are the foremost experts when it comes to making pizza at home to help guide you. This year, anyone who registers also gets FREE access to King Arthur Baking Company’s Classic NY-Style Pizza at Home course to accelerate your pizza learning.

CAN BRICK & MORTAR RESTAURANTS GET INVOLVED?

You can invite home pizza-makers in your your area to host a pop-up at your restaurant to benefit Slice Out Hunger. It’s a fantastic way for you to support pizzaioli of all stripes in your community.

ARE THERE ANY BENEFITS TO PARTICIPATING BESIDES SUPPORTING MY COMMUNITY?

YES! We’ll be sending prizes to everyone who signs up & raises a minimum of $100 at their party. Details below.
