America's second oldest pizzeria used its 110th anniversary to offer up their legendary pizzas to customers in order to donate to a local veteran's group.

O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria made a donation of $3,000 to Feed Our Vets on Wednesday. The donation is the result of their successful anniversary special in August, where customers purchased small cheese pizzas for just $1.10 with the purchase of a large pizza, and all proceeds benefited the nonprofit organization dedicated to helping veterans in need.

To mark the 110th anniversary of its founding, O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria ran this limited-time offer on August 21st and 22nd, staying true to their century-old tradition of supporting the local community. Feed Our Vets, based in Utica, provides free food to veterans and their families, making it the perfect partner for O'Scugnizzo’s celebratory promotion.

"We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate 110 years than by giving back to a cause as important as Feed Our Vets," says Steven Burline, owner of O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria. "Our community has supported us for over a century, and we are thrilled to be able to return that support in such a meaningful way."

Feed Our Vets has been a critical resource for veterans struggling with hunger, and the contribution from O'Scugnizzo will help fund their ongoing mission.
