PETER PIPER PIZZA SPREADS THE LOVE WITH THE RETURN OF FAN-FAVORITE HEART-SHAPED PIZZA

$1 from every heart-shaped pizza sold benefits Children's Miracle Network across Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas

PHOENIX, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Peter Piper Pizza is bringing back its beloved heart-shaped pizza for a third consecutive year through March 1, with $1 from every heart-shaped pizza purchased going directly to Children's Miracle Network.

Each heart-shaped pizza is a large pepperoni pizza crafted with Peter Piper Pizza's signature made-from-scratch dough, perfect for celebrating the season of love with friends and family.

New this year, at Arizona locations only, Peter Piper Pizza is offering a Sweetheart Special through Feb. 14. The offer features a large pepperoni pizza and choice of a regular OREO® Crunch Dessert or Cinnamon Crunch Dessert for $22.99, with $1 from each purchase also benefiting Children's Miracle Network.

"Over the past three years, this partnership continues to deliver meaningful impact thanks to the generosity of our guests who want to support children's health in their communities," said Genaro Perez, chief marketing officer at Peter Piper Pizza. "After raising more than $27,000 last year, we're treating our Arizona customers with the Sweetheart Special, creating even more opportunities for families to support this effort."
