TORONTO, May 19, 2026 – The pizzas have been counted, the results are in, and Pizza Nova’s annual That’s Amore Pizza for Kids fundraiser delivered in a big way. Supported by guests, franchisees and vendor partners, Pizza Nova raised $151,935 for Variety – the Children’s Charity of Ontario during this year’s one-day event.
On May 12, Pizza Nova offered its guests medium cheese or pepperoni pizzas for $5.99, tax included, with $1 from each pizza supporting children and youth with disabilities through Variety’s programs. Since the partnership began 27 years ago, Pizza Nova has raised over $3 million for Variety.
“Seeing our customers, franchisees, team members and partners come together for one special and memorable day in support of such a good cause is a winning formula, and a meaningful reminder of why this campaign has been successful since 1999,” said Domenic Primucci, President of Pizza Nova. “At Pizza Nova, community has always been central to who we are. We are honoured to continue supporting Variety and its work to create more inclusive opportunities for children and families across Ontario.”
Proceeds from the campaign will help fund Variety’s programs, including access to sports, arts, education, camps, and essential mobility equipment for children of all abilities. The donation also supports Variety Village, a fully accessible facility focused on sports, fitness, and life skills for children. Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova, along with a team of associates, visited Variety Village today to present the donation to Variety leadership and its staff.
“We are deeply grateful to Pizza Nova and everyone who participated in the That’s Amore Pizza for Kids campaign,” said Charlie Johnstone, President & CEO of Variety Ontario. “Partnerships like this help ensure that Variety can give children with disabilities access to the programs, experiences and support systems they need to build confidence, independence and community.”
