Detroit Celebrates National Pizza Month with Flavorful Deals and Heartwarming Causes
October is officially here, and what better way to celebrate than with a mouthwatering slice of pizza? Here in Detroit, several local pizzerias are coming together to make this National Pizza Month even more special, not just for pizza lovers but also for those in need. From deep-dish delights to classic New York-style pies, it’s a month that promises delicious flavors and a whole lot of heart!
Uno Pizzeria & Grill: Pies with a Purpose
Located in Farmington Hills inside the Delta Hotel Marriott, Uno Pizzeria & Grill is serving up a unique Chicago-style pizza with a twist. This October, they’ve introduced a special deep-dish option topped with classic Detroit coney fixings—think hot dogs, chili, mustard, and diced white onions. What’s even better? With every pizza ordered, Uno donates $2 from large pizzas and $1 from individual or thin-crust options to the Oakland County Foster Closet. This fantastic organization supports children in the foster care system by providing essential items like clothing and school supplies.
The prices for these delicious pies range from $13 to $26, and as a thank you for your generosity, anyone who orders this remarkable pizza and brings in a new pack of socks for the Socktober program will receive a complimentary appetizer! This offer is valid for dine-in only, so gather your friends and family for a night out full of good food and good deeds.
Mootz Pizzeria: Doing Good One Slice at a Time
Downtown Detroit is home to the famous Mootz Pizzeria, well-known for its amazing New York-style pizzas. Throughout October, Mootz is running a fantastic monthlong fundraiser supporting individuals impacted by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. For every 14-inch pizza sold (priced at $29), Mootz will donate $1 to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund. Lisa Walters, the restaurant’s operating partner, emphasized the uniting power of pizza during tough times. “We believe in the power of pizza to unite people, especially in times of need,” she said.
In addition to helping Hurricane victims, Mootz previously supported victims of the Maui wildfires, showing a longstanding commitment to community assistance. Taking a bite from their menu crafted by six-time World Pizza Games champion Bruno DiFabio will not only satisfy your hunger but also help those in need!
Buddy’s Pizza: Specials and Surprises

Hungry Howie’s: Pink Pizza for a Cause
Another Detroit favorite, Hungry Howie’s, has kicked off its 16th annual “Love, Hope and Pizza” campaign to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Over the years, they’ve raised an astonishing $5 million through generous donations from pizza sales, and this year continues the tradition with some fun and pink-tastic offerings.
During October, you’ll spot their pizzas served in eye-catching pink boxes and can even order the limited-time Pink Pizza.
