O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria Donates to Veteran's Group After Anniversary

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.
