Share Pizza Shares

From inception, our core values of generosity, caring, and giving back to the community were key ingredients of Share Pizza. Decisions we make are always prefaced with the question “does it serve our family, the community, and our values?”

We love what we do, and we love that our community allows us so many opportunities to give back. Read about some of the many ways we share within and across Alameda below.

Kids Rule (and so do pets!)

As a local family with kids in school right here in Alameda, we are invested in making sure resources are available to support youth within the Island City community. Through school PTSAs, and other organizations like Girls Inc of the Island City and FAAS, we’ve donated gift certificates to auctions in support of kids, and our furry friends, across the island. In 2024 we sponsored a T-Ball team for the first time, and enjoyed watching some of Alameda’s youngest ball players work it out when they each wanted the opportunity to “catch” the ball, learn the rules of game, and have fun. We hope to continue to watch them grow, in knowledge and stature, for years to come.

It’s All Good!

Since the beginning we’ve been working with All Good Living Foundation to provide food to families in need. AGLF works with schools across Alameda, and the greater Bay Area, to support students without stable housing and their families. Through grants and donations, and partnerships with businesses, AGLF provides food, clothing, shoes, and opportunities for enrichment to youth who might not otherwise have access to these things.

Each week we donate pizzas to families in need through AGLF. During the 2023-2024 school year we helped feed staff and students at 3 schools through AGLF with our weekly donations. And we’re proud to have donated over 2000 pizzas since we opened in August 2020.

Getting Creative

We love the creative process! And our donations aren’t always gift certificates or pizza. We’ve also donated the opportunity for auction winners to work directly with us to create a signature pizza of their own that is featured on the menu for a week. The creative process includes working with us on ideas then coming to our kitchen to see the process of stretching, building, baking, and tasting their creation before finalizing their signature pizza for our menu. Boasting rights are theirs, and they get to tell their friends that they created the weekly special. But that’s not all! The week their pizza is featured is also a fundraiser week where each pizza sold generates a donation to the organization they supported with their winning bid. It’s a special time for everyone, and well worth the price and effort because it’s a win-win-win.
