Tailgate Wednesday with Pizza Guys

The Brief

    • On Wednesday, Jan. 14, over 50 local pizzerias are uniting at a single location to prepare hundreds of free pizzas for anyone in need.
    • Participating restaurants will cook together while a team of volunteer drivers delivers the fresh pies directly to those who register.
    • To sign up as a delivery driver, residents must visit lapizzaalliance.com.

LOS ANGELES - One year after forming to feed the front lines of the Los Angeles wildfires, the Los Angeles Pizza Alliance is mobilizing once again.

What we know:

 On Wednesday, Jan. 14, the alliance will launch "Pizza for the People," a massive citywide effort to provide free pizza to anyone in need, no questions asked.

The event follows a collaborative model where more than 50 independent pizzerias—including Angel City Pizza, Pie Trap, Hasi Bread, and Captain Tony’s—will descend upon a single kitchen to cook together. 

Once prepared, the pizzas are handed off to a network of community volunteers who manage the logistics of delivering the pies across Southern California.

What you can do:

While requests for pizza have been paused, volunteers are still needed to deliver the pizzas from the central kitchen to people's homes. 

Those with a vehicle and a few hours to spare can sign up using the volunteer form on the same website.
