Pizza Nova announced Friday that its 26th annual That’s Amore Pizza for Kids fundraiser has raised $231,045 in support of Variety – the Children’s Charity of Ontario.
Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova, presented the funds to Charlie Johnstone, President and CEO of Variety Ontario, during a special event at Variety Village on June 5.
“Each year, I’m reminded of how powerful community can be when we come together for a meaningful cause,” said Primucci. “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.”
The company 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,” said Johnstone. “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.
Founded in 1963, Pizza Nova is a family-operated business with more than 150 stores and concession locations in Southern Ontario. They also have a line of Primucci branded products featuring Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Homestyle Tomato Sauce, Italian Hot Peppers, Spicy Green Olives, and Sundried Black Olives.
