Pizza Fundraiser
2025-08-04 00:00 - 2025-09-06 23:00 | ON
Our PIZZA FUNDRAISER is back! And this year it’s the perfect pairing with our PupSocial event hosted at Powerhouse Brewery. Help us raise much needed funds for our senior dogs by ordering a pizza bundle. For each bundle sold, Happy’s Place will get 25% of the sale, thanks to Lumberjack Pizza!

Fresh thin-crust pizzas that are ready to cook or freeze. Made with whole wheat pita crust, 100% mozzarella and fresh toppings, and never any cheese blends, preservatives, grease or oil. These are great to have on -hand for those busy nights or just a quick, easy and delicious dinner.

4 x 12-inch pizzas for $40. Choose your bundle:

Bundle A (for VEGGIE lovers): 1x Classic Cheese, 2x Vegetarian, 1x Bruschetta

Bundle B: 1x The 2-4, 1x The Lumber-Jack, 1x Meat Lover’s, 1x Bacon Double Cheeseburger

Bundle C: 2x BBQ Chicken, 1x Spicy BBQ Chicken, 1x Tangy Thai Chicken

Bundle D: 1x Deluxe, 1x Canadian, 1x Hawaiian, 1x Creamy Dill Pickle

Bundle E: 1x Cookie Tango, 1x Smores, 1x Lemon Meringue, 1x Apple Caramel Crumble

Bundle F (Gluten Free): Choose any 3 pizzas (prepared on gluten free crust)

All orders must be submitted by September 6th with pizza pick-up held on September 14th from 1-5pm during the PupSocial at Powerhouse Brewery (back side parking at 100 Kellogg Ln) in London, Ontario. Due to logistical reasons, this year’s pizza fundraiser is in London only. Want to participate but not London based? We’d be happy to donate your pizzas to the Food Bank meaning you’re making not just one, but TWO amazing donations.

NOTE: When ordering, the first drop down will ask you to select your bundle – the following drop downs will display each of the pizza types that come in your bundle, simply select the pizza type that displays under each option to complete your order. ONLY BUNDLE F (GLUTEN FREE) REQUIRES SELECTIONS FROM A LIST OF OPTIONS. You can add multiple bundles to a single order, but you must add them one at a time to your cart.
