Solidarity

During the months of June and July 2020, Chef Tanka and the teams from the 4 restaurants went around the parishes of Lisbon helping families in need due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which changed our lives.

With a mobile oven, we distributed more than 10,500 pizzas, always hot, so that everyone could have a similar experience to our restaurants. Pizza delivery has always been a magical moment of joy and love.

We need to get out of our comfort zone and help those who need it most in these times of crisis. We hope we have touched many people’s hearts and influenced others to do the same. We promise that, as soon as we can, we will return to help those who need it most.
