Domino's Pizza wants its customers to receive its pizzas, even in cold, snowy weather. The pizza chain is awarding $25,000 to 20 cities in snow plow grants, according to a press release.

"At Domino's we've made delivery cars with warming ovens built in, paved roads to get your pizza home hot and in perfect condition, and offered pizza insurance for when anything goes awry," Joe Jordan, Domino's president of U.S. and global services, said in the release. "To us, nothing should stand in the way of getting a delicious pizza, including snowy, cold weather. So yes — you heard it right: a pizza company is actually helping to plow roads."

Customers can visit Plowingforpizza.com to submit the zip code of their hometown for a grant. The nomination period is from now through Jan. 21, 2024 and limited to one submission per email address.

Domino's will name selected towns on a rolling basis throughout the program to ensure grants are awarded during the winter season; towns chosen will be announced as soon as mid-January.

Domino's has already worked alongside three municipalities to help their plowing efforts this winter season, including Erie, Pennsylvania; Marquette, Michigan and Manhattan, Montana.

Winning towns will also get a winter-themed Domino's Plowing for Pizza kit, including winter hats, scarves, snow measuring stick and sign, vehicle magnets and other themed items, including $200 in Domino's gift cards.

The chosen municipalities will be listed on the Plowing for Pizza website, which will also feature images and footage from the plowing locations.
