Today, the pizzeria whose customers pay it forward is reknowned in the area. And every day, customers come in and leave a dollar so others can have something to eat.
The walls of Rosa’s Fresh Pizza are covered with post-it notes. And each note contains a small message to the person who will get the pizza.
For many people, the free pizza has become a lifeline when they otherwise couldn’t afford to buy food.
“I’ve been homeless on and off for the past for the last five years. It really sucks. But at least I know I can look forward to 11 o’clock when I know I can get some fresh, hot pizza,” said one of the visitors at the pizzeria.
And it’s not just homeless people who are taking the restaurant up on free slices. People who have a place to live but not much money also stop by to eat.
Many customers who buy pizza for others used to be homeless and know how hard it is not having money for food.
