Delicious Pizza + Community Support = Awesomeness

What could be better than hot, delicious, organic pizza and a cold glass of sustainable beer, you ask? Well, how about helping out a great cause just by eating it? Yeah, we thought you’d agree ;-)

 

Speaking of supporting great causes, the folks over at Pizza Fusion Skypoint in Tampa sure do love their community! In the last month they’ve hosted fundraising and community events for amazing organizations like the American Marketing Association Tampa Bay Chapter, ActGreen – who provides baskets of green products to underprivileged families, and the philanthropic group Tampa Connection, just to name a few. Now that’s some good karma right there!

 

Care to help out your community by noshing on our organic goodness? Contact your local Pizza Fusion to find out when their events are taking place, or let them know you want one yourself and raise some funds for your organization!

Pizza Fusion is the natural pick for FMoPA exhibit

The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA), often referred to as "One of Tampa's Best-Kept Secrets," held its first opening reception of the year on February 10^th for its new “Natural Fashion: Art & The Body” exhibit featuring photography by Hans Silvester.

It’s only natural that Pizza Fusion was the food of choice for a “Natural” exhibit…naturally :-)

The museum also hosts Photography At 5 Happy Hour events on select Thursdays. Attendees to the February 17^th event were lucky enough to enjoy live music, beer, wine, and of course…your favorite organic pizza awesomeness! Didn’t make it? Don’t worry, the next Photography At 5 Happy Hour featuring Pizza Fusion is on March 24^th at 5 PM. The exhibit will be on display through Sunday, April 10^th.

Pizza Fusion Rockin In Jeddah, S.A. [video]

Pizza Fusion has spread it's wings and is taking on the beautiful planet of ours! Our first of many international franchise locations is in the beautiful city of Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The new location marks the first of many locations to open throughout Saudi Arabia with additional locations planned for Jeddah, Riyadh City, Egypt & Dubai in the near future. Our amazing partners in that area have done an amazing job at keeping the integrity of our original concept and sharing our organic awesomeness with their guests.

Here is a great video clip of our Jeddah location shot/produced by the local website Sufrati.com .



Sufrati is Arabic for "my dining". It´s a popular word that is used all the time by people of all ages and Arab backgrounds, especially in the Middle East. They are thee voice when it comes to all things food & restaurant related in Saudi Arabia.

ADHD and the Pizza Fusion School Lunch Program

Surprise, surprise…chemical pesticides are linked to yet another health woe. This time it’s attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. A study published on May 17^th, 2010 in the Official Journal of The American Academy of Pediatrics links ADHD in children to their exposure to pesticides commonly used on non-organic fruits and vegetables. Just last week we heard about pesticides causing cancer. It seems like these scary pesticide studies and reports just keep on comin’ don’t they? Don’t fret! Pizza Fusion to the rescue!!!

In response to this news, Pizza Fusion is launching School Organic Pizza Fridays to help children and their families to transition to a healthier diet (and hopefully get the kids to settle down and pay attention!). Another recent study by Emory University found that switching to organic foods reduces pesticide compounds in children’s bodies to near-undetectable levels. See? We told you organic is good!

Families having a hard time getting children to eat their organic veggies are in luck…what kid doesn’t love pizza?! And we couldn’t have said it better than Cookie Magazine did: “With multigrain crusts and organic fresh veggies buried under cheese, who cares if pizza is all they'll eat?”

Parents, teachers and schools interested in participating in the School Organic Pizza Friday program by Pizza Fusion should contact the company at info@pizzafusion.com.
