Mountain Mike’s Pizza, a leading family-style pizza chain for nearly 50 years, and home of the legendary crispy, curly pepperoni, massive 20-inch Mountain-sized pizzas and dough made fresh daily, is bringing back its fan-favorite Heart-Shaped Pizza to salute National Veterans and Military Families Month. For the second straight year, the brand will donate $1 from every Heart-Shaped Pizza sold in November at nearly 350 restaurants nationwide to Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors (JAH4WW), which builds and remodels accessible, mortgage-free homes for combat-wounded veterans. In 2025, Mountain Mike’s donated $10,000 to JAH4WW, reinforcing its proud commitment to supporting veterans and military families.
“Last year’s November fundraiser saw a Mountain Mike’s Pizza menu icon return to our restaurants to help us show love and admiration for the brave men and women who have served our country, and we’re proud to continue supporting the commendable work of Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors,” said Sheena Dougher, Chief Marketing Officer at Mountain Mike’s Pizza. “Giving back to the communities we serve is a Mountain Mike’s brand pillar, and we’re excited to invite guests to join us as we once again honor veterans and military families.”
Throughout November, guests can support the campaign by purchasing a Heart-Shaped Pizza at any Mountain Mike’s Pizza location or online, with $1 from every pizza sold benefiting JAH4WW. The charitable initiative reflects Mountain Mike’s longstanding commitment to the communities where its restaurants operate, which includes numerous partnerships with local schools, youth sports organizations and nonprofits. Contributions to JAH4WW help to provide critically wounded combat veterans with specially adapted, mortgage-free homes that foster greater independence and quality of life.
“Our dedication to combat-wounded veterans across the nation is made possible thanks to the generosity of partners like Mountain Mike’s Pizza” said Jared Allen, Founder of Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors. “By ordering a Heart-Shaped Pizza, guests are directly giving back to the brave individuals who gave everything for our country, and we encourage everyone to visit Mountain Mike’s Pizza to recognize their service and show their appreciation.”
Founded in 2009 by retired NFL star and Hall of Famer Jared Allen, JAH4WW was inspired by his USO tour to military bases in the Middle East. Witnessing firsthand the challenges faced by injured service members, he was motivated to make a difference. The foundation continues to honor and support military heroes, ensuring they have a safe place to call home.
Mountain Mike’s completely customizable Heart-Shaped Pizza, available throughout November, is perfect for sharing with family, friends and loved ones. Whether dining in, ordering takeout or enjoying delivery, guests can participate in this fundraising effort and contribute to an inspiring organization simply by indulging in a time-honored brand tradition. Orders may be placed online, through the Mountain Rewards App, or any of the brand’s third-party delivery partners.
