Christmas Is The Season For Giving (Pizza)

New addition to Piccadilly Gardens, the sourdough pizza pioneer, Franco Manca, has pledged to turn surplus dough into fresh sourdough bread for those most in need during this festive season and beyond.

The initiative, which will launch on the 9^th December and continue throughout 2020, aims to help those going without food or shelter with loaves being distributed to local soup kitchens, charities and shelters across the UK.

The project supports Franco Manca’s plans to reduce food waste across each of its UK-based pizzerias, including making fresh dough on site daily, advertising extra toppings across blackboards to diminish ingredient waste, offering customers a chance to take home leftovers, asking diners to not leave their crusts (cornicione) and pledging to donate 31,000 pizzas to local food banks.

In addition to this, they have also vowed to donate 40,000 free pizzas to those who face a tough time over the festive period and are calling upon relevant charities, shelters, food banks and members of the public to reach out and arrange an order of fresh bread or cooked pizzas to aid those requiring extra sustenance and support.
