Boston Pizza wants you to enjoy a smile and share some love in support of Kids Help Phone.
Starting April 29, order a small, Heart-Shaped Smile Pepperoni Pizza and $1 from every pizza sold will go to support Kids Help Phone.
Boston Pizza offers heart-shaped pizzas every Valentine's Day, and decided to bring this guest-favourite back, for a limited time, to spread some love and support a great cause.
"Boston Pizza's locally-owned restaurants have a history of giving back within their communities, as does Boston Pizza Foundation Future Prospects; this is a great opportunity to support Kids Help Phone at a time when it matters most," Peter Blackwell, SVP Marketing said.
Kids Help Phone is one of four charity partners that Boston Pizza supports through Boston Pizza Foundation Future Prospects (BPFFP).
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kids Help Phone has seen a significant increase in calls and texts from youth looking for support.
"Kids Help Phone has experienced a nearly 400% increase in calls/texts related to COVID-19 since mid-March, pointing to the depth and breadth of the mental health impact on Canada's youth," Katherine Hay, President and CEO of Kids Help Phone said.
Boston Pizza restaurants are currently operating for Take-Out and Delivery, offering a variety of at-home meal options for Canadians.
Heart-shaped smile pizzas will be available to order from BostonPizza.com, on the Boston Pizza app or by phoning your local BP.
The heart-shaped smile pizzas will be available as small, pepperoni pizzas.
