Metro Pizza Hosts July Water Drive for the Homeless

Local Las Vegas restaurant group Metro Pizza has announced a water drive promotion to aid the homeless during the heat of summer. For the entire month of July 2017, Metro Pizza will offer a complimentary small cheese pizza to every guest who brings an unopened case of 24 (12 oz.) bottles of water to any of the four Metro Pizza locations below. Water will be distributed through local Clark County charities. There is no limit to the amount of cases of water guests can bring in, however it is for dine-in customers only and only during normal business hours.

 

“The summer heat is one of the most challenging times for the homeless, and we wanted to do something to highlight this issue and help,” said Metro Pizza Manager/Partner Chris Decker. “We’re calling on our loyal customers to lend a hand, and thanking them the best way we know how.”

About Metro Pizza
The story of Metro Pizza begins in 1980, when cousins John Arena and Sam Facchini, at the age of 24, decided to bet on each other and move from their native Brooklyn, NY to Las Vegas, Nev. to open their first local pizzeria. Thanks to the massive early success of their first New York Pizza (since renamed Metro Pizza in 1986), they have since expanded to five restaurants, plus one licensed location at McCarran Airport, and a “bread and breakfast bakery,” all in Clark County, Nevada, their proud adopted home for over 37 years.
In 1986, Arena and Facchini were honored at Pizza Expo as the first independent pizzeria owners to be selected as National Pizza Operators of the Year. Dedicated to gaining respect for the craft, John and Sam helped to create the original competitions at Pizza Expo that today have become the benchmark of pizza making expertise. Both Arena and Facchini show no signs of slowing down as they enter their 50th year of an unbreakable, remarkable partnership.
Metro Pizza’s numerous accolades have included “Top Ten Pizzerias in America” (USA Today), “Best Pizza in the State” (The Food Network), “Best Pizza” (The Cooking Channel, CitySearch.com), “Top Pizza in Las Vegas” (Zagat), “Nevada Restaurateurs of the Year” (Nevada Restaurant Association), National Pizza Operators of the Year (Pizza Today), and “Best Pizza” by the Las Vegas Review-Journal a record nine times in a row.
John Arena and Sam Facchini have received the Key to the City from Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, and have had the honor of serving five U.S. presidents (both at their restaurants and inside Air Force One), as well as the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra.
