“My husband and I have received so much support from this community since we opened our doors," Nicte Lewis, co-owner of the Richmond location announced in a press release. "We felt like this was our chance to offer some measure of support to all those that have been affected by the devastation and chaos from the storm.”

Lewis and her husband, Jason, also gave away 500 pizzas to first responders in Houston during Harvey, and Urban Bricks Pizza served around 700 free pizzas to local residents and first responders in the Corpus Christi community too.  Employees of Urban Bricks' College Station location will also be at the Richmond location this Saturday to help out.

Urban Bricks Pizza serves authentic, customizable Neapolitan pizza, which cooks in the restaurant's signature lime green oven in just two minutes time.  Visit urbanbrickspizza.com for more information.
