Ultimate Pizza Battle in Wingham to support United Way

A battle of pizza pies in Wingham aims to raise money for a good cause.

The United Way Perth Huron (UWPH) is running the Ultimate Pizza Battle in Wingham this month, with the goal of raising funds for all of the services that United Way provides locally.

For every pizza sold in November, $2 goes to UWPH, supporting programs and services helping vulnerable local people.

This year’s competition includes a people’s choice award for favourite pizza as well as most pizzas sold. Restaurants are selling featured pizzas during the fundraiser.

"Pizza is a particular favourite in Wingham, and the Ultimate Pizza Battle gives the opportunity for restaurants to get creative and build something their customers will love and help the community at the same time," said Lisa Harper, UWPH Manager, Community Development, Northern Huron. "We’re inviting pizza lovers to try out the creations our great local restaurants come up with. It’s a fun and tasty competition that also helps UWPH."

Participating restaurants currently include New Orleans Pizza, Wingham and Noah’s Pizza, Wingham. Restaurants interested in participating can contact Lisa Harper at [email protected].
