Benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson at Papa John’s with this promo code

Nov 8, 20181 min read

From November 8 – 16, Papa John’s Tucson will donate a large one-topping pizza to Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson for every large pizza ordered on papajohns.com using promo code GIVEAZ. A “donation thermometer” will display how many pizzas have been donated during the campaign.

“The work Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson does throughout our region is incredible,” said Clark Mandigo III, owner of several Tucson area Papa John’s locations. “They provide a ‘home away from home’ for many kids and provide excellent programs helping youth build a successful future. BGCTucson inspires us and this is our way of saying thank you. We hope the local community will help us show them some love. Simply place an online order using promo code GIVEAZ and at the same time, you will help give pizza to the amazing staff, volunteers and kids at BGCTucson.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson has six locations — they will utilize the pizzas for various events throughout the year.

“We are thrilled to be selected as a community partner by Papa John’s,” said Debbie Wagner, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson. “We feed kids, staff and volunteers at all six of our locations, year-round. Pizza is a real treat for our Club kids and this level of generosity will alleviate the costs we would otherwise have and enable us to put those funds to use in other programs we offer.”

@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E. Broadway Blvd.

The new taproom will seat 100+ guests and feature 14 taps, a curated wine program and, for the first time, a restaurant. Chef Scott Girod of @Anello_pizzeria will open a new restaurant in the shared space, expected to follow the taproom’s late fall 2026 opening in early 2027.

“This taproom has always been more than four walls. It’s where we’ve celebrated milestones, introduced hundreds of new beers, watched friendships grow and built a community we’re incredibly grateful for. While we’re excited about what’s next, it’s impossible not to feel sentimental about saying goodbye to the place where it all happened.” — @Pueblovida Co-founder Linette Antillon

We can’t wait to welcome you back for an upgraded experience.
