What occurs when two businesses converge in one night to promote one another, knowing they are improving their immediate community? This rarely occurs, unless you are Yelp an Pixza on 162 Liverpool in Zona Rosa.
Out of say 169 restaurants now in four years from Washington D.C., to Chicago, to Detroit, so Chicago, to Mexico, there has been no restaurants that have blown me away, like this one.
Seriously, get this - when you buy five slices, one goes to someone homeless from Pixza Oh no, it does not stop there - the shelter receives a slice and when they add up the whole pizza gets delivered to the refuge, and there is a counter above the front desk showing all the customers how many to date - being a month old, they delivered their FIRST delivery TODAY, June 29th, and yes, they have been recognized by the SECRETARY OF THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. (you can see the certificate on the wall) - but not just for that - no, when the individuals receive their food, they are expected to volunteer BACK, and in return, they earn bracelets, that after doing so much - they receive free services like haircuts, baths, and more - talk about a RECIPROCOL EFFECT! THIS BUSINESS DID THIS AT THE BEGINNING of opening instead of developing this as they went along - I mean, WHOA! Does that tell you a LITTLE about what this business set out to do in their community FROM THE VERY BEGINNING?
The pizza, the postres, holy mother of giving and appetite, wait until you see how topped these pizzas are - and you will see getting a slice of one of these is not just a slice of pizza, it is a MEAL, and a chance to help someone get up and into an opportunity that could change their life, how often can you be a part of that just by ordering lunch or dinner?
Then I cant even tell you how GOOD the playlist was here, here is a sample: Freedom, Stand By Me, The Mess Around, Staying Alive, Can't Help Myself, Stop, in the Name of Love, Be My Little Baby, Superstitious, and that is just a START. Not only do you just feel good by going here, you feel like a new person when you talk to Alexandro and find out how he graduated from Columbia University in policy and brought this BACK to Mexico -and you realize, after seeing the wall of messages and slices bought given to the homeless in the store, how MANY people CAN make a difference just because on ONE company - that encourages patrons, that works with YELP to make a difference. Do the math, get every business in the WORLD to take this initiative from the very beginning,and do you know how fast change would occur? Faster that broken promises by lousy politicians, potential presidential candidates that mean NOTHING, and businesses that have ceased to think of how they can help others which in turn will help them, and they don't realize, they will prosper as a business because they have other's lives as a concern FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
DELICIOUS servings of a CRAZY variety of pizza, and how refreshing to say this is a secondary element to a business that has decided to reach out and help people in their own community at the start? You HAVE to go here just to hear the stories of how this revolutionary little Pixza center, which uses NOTHING but 100% ingredients FROM MEXICO, and blue corn - has begun to change the way we see how businesses should model best practices. I can't even begin to tell you what the postres look like, you will have to dive in to believe it while your heart expands and reaches out to those that can use your support. read more
