In the face of high food prices, Newman's Own debuted a national Pay What You Want Pizza truck, providing pizza lovers with the ability to set their own price for a slice. All proceeds will support the Newman's Own Foundation, devoted to nourishing and transforming the lives of children who face adversity.
The Newman's Own Pay What You Want Pizza truck will be making its first stop in New York City in June before popping up in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Chicago. Guests will get to sample products like the brand's Thin & Crispy Crust Pizza, Newman's Own Stone-Fired Crust Pizza and even the new Newman's Own Sourdough Crust Pizza in Meatball.
