Pirelli’s in the News Jessica Rizzo is a sweet 11-year-old who loves to ride her horse and dreams of being a veterinarian when she grows up. She loves to play at school with friends and go shopping with her big sister. Our good friend Jessica has her own unique burden, though. Jessica is diabetic. At a very young age, she learned that she would need to change her diet and regulate her insulin. Here at Pirelli’s Pizza, we heard Jessica’s story and wanted to help her raise money for her team in the annual Walk to Stop Diabetes. That’s why we’ve designed the new Jessica Pizza. This vegetarian pie has mushroom, mozzarella, and breaded eggplant on traditional crust. Order a Jessica Pizza, and 25% of the proceeds will go to her team! “We’ve been coming to Pirelli’s for as long as I can remember, and it’s really cool to have my own pizza on the menu,” said Jessica. “I’m so excited to surprise all the other families at the walk with the donation in October.” Who Has the Best Pie? Each year, Pirelli’s vies for the title of “Best Pizzeria in Town” in the annual restaurant competition hosted by the Stonington Herald.

We’ll be accepting submissions from now until January 15. The Pirelli’s staff will vote on the top five recipes and then cook each one. The pizzas will have a one-month trial period on the menu where customers will get to pick their favorite. The winning pie will be added to the menu, and naming rights go to the top chef!
