DETROIT – The Salvation Army and Buddy’s Pizza are partnering up for National Detroit-Style Pizza Day. On June 23, for every pizza that is sold at a Buddy’s in Metro Detroit, a $1 donation will be made to the Salvation Army and 10% of orders will be donated to Gleaners.
The national day was founded by Buddy’s Pizza in 2021 to celebrate the history, style and roots of the pizza. According to a press release, last year Buddy’s donated over $7,000 to three community organizations to help fight hunger and homelessness.
