London restaurant donates 13,000 pizzas

South-London based pizzeria Share A Slice, a social enterprise committed to combatting hunger suffered as a result of growing poverty across London, has donated more than 13,000 pizzas to people in need.

For each of its pizzas purchased, Share A Slice donates one to those in need via its charity partners and weekly food drives. 

People who have received the pizzas include those affected by homelessness, NHS workers or tube and supermarket staff during the pandemic.

Share A Slice was founded by Raj and Sandeep, following their extensive training in Naples, where they learnt to make high-quality, authentic pizzas under the watchful eye of master pizzaiolo Enzo Coccia at Pizzeria La Notizia.

One-for-one model

 "At Share A Slice, we think everyone deserves to have access to a hot meal, which is why our one-for-one model is at the very core of our brand ethos," say Raj and Sandeep.

"Living during a pandemic for the past year has hit vulnerable groups hardest and stressed the importance of giving back to the local community. Buy a delicious pizza for yourself and give one to someone in need at the same time, it’s a win-win situation."

The duo set up the philanthropic pizzeria following a conversation with a homeless man outside London's Old Street station, which highlighted the need for more sources of warm food for the community.
