Ukraine Flag Pizza In NJ, Proceeds Go To Charity: How To Get Yours
A blue and yellow pie from Tony Boloney's pizza chain, sold to raise money for the Ukraine, is "selling like crazy," said the founder.
HOBOKEN, NJ — Tony Boloney's Pizza, which specializes in unique pies, has a new hit on its hands — and it's meant to help the people of the Ukraine.
The chain, with stores in Hoboken, Jersey City, Long Branch, and Atlantic City, began shipping "Blue & Yellow Heart-Shaped Pizza - 2 Pack" via Goldbelly on Friday.
And it sold so well that they'll continue the fundraiser for as long as people are interested, said pizzeria founder Michael Hauke.

"This weekend," the business wrote on Instagram, "@goldbelly 100% of proceeds from this product and all products in the Support Ukraine collection will go to help the people of Ukraine through World Central Kitchen."

Tony Boloney's is no stranger to topical pizzas; in 2020, they launched a Tiger King Pie.
But the blue and yellow pizza is different.
The pizza chain noted via social media, "Tony Boloney’s stands for creativity, fun, love, and inclusion. The Tony Boloney’s team is devastated about the events currently taking place in Ukraine. We wanted to be sure to show our love and support to Ukraine, in conjunction with @goldbelly."
