Small Change, Big Impact in Every Slice

Inspired by its namesake, Glass Nickel Pizza has committed to donate a nickel from every pizza sold to a local nonprofit, selected by each store, to directly benefit and uplift the communities that support them.

Rooted in a Tradition of Giving

Since 1997, Glass Nickel Pizza has been dedicated to supporting the communities it serves. Pizza with Purpose continues this legacy, with each pizza sold turning into a direct reinvestment in the places we call home. With 693,909 pizzas sold in 2025, Pizza with Purpose generated a total of $34,695.45 in donations, plus an additional $2,632.45 contributed by our very own customers. Amplified by additional gift cards, food, volunteer time, and more, Glass Nickel Pizza was able to donate a grand total of $74,327.90 throughout the year. Together, these efforts helped support local families, schools, and communities in Wisconsin.

Community-Driven and Community-Focused

Each Glass Nickel Pizza store selects local nonprofits, schools or other community organizations that align with the needs and values of its community, creating a tailored approach to giving back, and creating a positive, tangible impact on the people around them.

By contributing a nickel from each pizza, Glass Nickel Pizza harnesses the power of small acts to drive meaningful support for local causes.

Giving Back with Every Slice

While we often work behind the scenes, our commitment to giving back is unwavering. It’s a part of who we are and what we do. 

So, each Glass Nickel Pizza location is proud to give back in other meaningful ways. From providing food donations to contributing raffle items, we partner with local groups, schools, and charities to help raise funds and support volunteers who make a difference in the community.
