Prince St. Pizza is teaming up with CBS’ NCIS: New York for a Veterans Day fundraiser that will bring three cast members to the fast-growing chain’s Brooklyn shop and raise money for the American Red Cross.
On November 11, Prince St. Pizza will donate 10% of in-store sales at participating locations to the Red Cross’ Service to the Armed Forces program. The partnership with the CBS drama includes a match of up to $10,000.
“NCIS: New York” cast members Devin Druid, Shane Harper and Jacqueline Byers will hand out slices to fans and veterans at the Brooklyn shop that day. Veterans and active-duty service members can also get a free slice at any Prince St. Pizza location on November 11 by showing a valid military ID or proof of service at the counter.
The Red Cross program helps military families stay connected during deployments and emergencies and supports patients at military and veterans hospitals.
“Prince St. Pizza has always been about bringing people together, and we’re glad to put that spirit behind a cause that matters so much,” said Lawrence Longo, the chain’s CEO.
Prince St. Pizza got its start in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood and now has more than 20 locations in the U.S. and Canada. The chain is known for its Sicilian-style square pies and pepperoni-topped slices.
