Our Community

For the past 50 years, Grotto Pizza has been lucky to feel constant statewide community support.  As a way to give back to those who have supported us, Grotto Pizza strives to be an active part of all communities through event sponsorship, product donation and financial funding.

Sponsorships and Donations:
Grotto Pizza sponsors over 700 organizations annually, including events sponsored by Police and Fire Departments, local schools, sports teams and charity events.

Our “Community Pizza Night” program allows us to partner with YOUR organization to generate a cash contribution.  We supply you with a custom designed voucher advertising your event.  You print and distribute the vouchers and promote your fundraiser.  20% of the total sale value attributed to each redeemed voucher will act as your “donation”.  Everyone wins…your supporters receive a great meal from Grotto Pizza and your organization receives a donation directly relational to your group’s efforts.

If you are interested in holding a Community Pizza Night at your local Grotto restaurant, or have another type of donation request, please complete the Grotto Contribution Request Form and mail or fax to the address/fax provided.  One of our staff will get back to you as soon as possible.
