Donatos

Since 1963, Premium Pizza With A Personal Touch. About Donatos Pizza Every Piece Is Important.® When you think about it, pizza is all about bringing people together. The real fun happens when it’s shared by many — that moment when the box is opened and eager hands appear from every direction to help themselves. Wherever We Serve Pizza, We Serve People. Part of Donatos Mission and Promise is to be a good neighbor. In fact, Donatos comes from the Latin word for "to give a good thing." That means giving back to the communities we serve. MAKING PIZZAS IS GREAT. BUT MAKING AN IMPACT IS WHAT MATTERS MOST. For Donatos’ founding family—the Grote family giving back has always been a core value and a way of life It’s woven into the Donatos culture. And it’s why Jane Grote Abell, Executive Chairwoman of the Board and founding family member, established the Donatos Family Foundation. A well-planned, strategic, focused initiative to make a sustainable, positive impact in the lives of the people in the communities Donatos serves. And a way to continue a family legacy of giving through impactful and meaningful actions, each and every day. The Foundation Focus: Love Our Neighbor Living by the Golden Rule is one of Donatos’ founding principles. Loving our neighbors, wherever we are. Through our Foundation, we’re putting love into action with a strategic focus on three core pillars: HOUSING We believe every person has intrinsic worth and dignity, deserving (at minimum) safety and shelter. The Foundation strengthens our partnership with Habitat for Humanity to help address the challenge of more affordable housing in our neighborhoods. HUNGER As a pizza company, nourishing others is in our DNA.
