San Leandro's Slice House By Tony Gemignani Fundraiser For Kids

SAN LEANDRO, CA — Rapid fire question: pepperoni pizza or meat and veggie combo?

You can settle the issue — and help kids at the same time — by participating in the fifth annual players’ seasonal pizzas promotion at Slice House by Tony Gemignani at San Leandro.

13-time World Pizza Champion Tony Gemignani and San Francisco Giants stars Brandon Belt and Alex Dickerson have teamed up to create seasonal pizzas, available for a limited time, in support of George Mark Children’s House.

Gemignani will donate $1 from each players’ custom slice and $6 from each full pie sold.

Here are your choices:

Dickerson’s Double Header - thick rosa grande pepperoni, thin cup n’ char pepperoni, tomato sauce, garlic oil, oregano, and romano cheese. Buy it by the slice for $6.50 or a full pie for $39.

Belt’s Monster Meat Pizza - pepperoni, sausage, bacon, red and green onion, bell pepper, shaved Parmigiano and Romano cheeses and a side of chili oil. Like Dickerson's Double Header, buy it by the slice for $6.50 or a full pie for $39.

The fundraiser runs through Sept. 26.

So who's Tony Gemgnani? He's a 13-time World Pizza Champion, master instructor at the International School of Pizza, two-time Food Network gold medalist, restaurateur and Slice House founder.
