Sales of a pizza made to honor a Steelers legend are now helping those in need in Pittsburgh. <\/p>\n
From Sept. 1 to Dec. 31, Caliente Pizza & Draft House sold 676 Wolfley 73 pizzas, a pie made to honor Craig Wolfley. <\/p>\n
And, 75% of the proceeds from selling those pizzas \u2014 $11,843.25 \u2014plus an additional $2,000 from Caliente\u2019s second-place win in the national Tyson Foods Great Pizza Give Back Contest are going to Light of Life Rescue. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Wolfley 73 was created to be more than just a pizza \u2014 it was meant to carry forward Craig\u2019s legacy of generosity and compassion,\u201d said Nick Bogacz, founder of Caliente Pizza & Draft House. \u201cSeeing our guests rally behind this pizza and help us make such a meaningful impact for Light of Life is incredibly powerful. This is exactly what Craig stood for.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Wolfley 73 became a permanent pizza at the restaurant in September, inspired by one of Wolfley\u2019s catchphrases, \u201cGreat googly moogly! This one\u2019s got heart.\u201d <\/p>\n
It features a smooth red sauce, a blend of mozzarella and provolone cheeses, crispy cup and char pepperoni, savory meatballs, a drizzle of hot honey and a parmesan finish. <\/p>\n
But annual donations from the sales of this pizza isn\u2019t the only way Caliente is giving back. The restaurant is also donating 25 pizzas in partnership with Slice Out Hunger in celebration of National Pizza Day. <\/p>\n
Restaurant officials say the donated pizzas will support families and individuals facing food insecurity in the Pittsburgh region. <\/p>\n
