A pizza fundraiser works by ordering pizzas in bulk, then reselling them by the slice to raise money for your group. One large pizza cut into 8 slices gives your team 8 sales from a single box. Your group sets the slice price and keeps the difference. The more slices you sell, the more your cause earns.
- Order in bulk, sell by the slice. Buying whole pizzas and selling individual slices lets your group capture the margin on every serving.
- You control the numbers. Your team sets the slice price, so the amount you raise scales with how you price and how much you sell.
- Works for any West Side group. School events, youth sports tournaments, church gatherings, and band programs all fit the slice-sale model.
- Plan it with the calculator below. Enter your pizza count, slices per pie, and slice price to see how many slices you need and what your group could raise.
Selling pizza by the slice is one of the simplest fundraisers a group can run. You do not need a program, an account, or a contract. You order pizzas the way any customer would, set up a table at your event, and sell each slice for more than it cost you. The difference is money for your team, class, or cause.
Because you set the slice price yourself, the math is entirely in your hands. The calculator below lets you plan a run before you order a single pizza, so you know your slice count and your target before the day arrives.
Plan Your Fundraiser
Enter what you plan to order and the price you will charge per slice. If you add what you expect to pay per pizza, the calculator will also estimate your profit and margin. Every number here is yours to set.

This planner uses only the numbers you enter. It assumes every slice sells; real results depend on turnout and foot traffic. Godfather's Pizza does not set your slice price or run the sale, your group does.
How the Slice-Sale Model Works
The whole model rests on one idea: a whole pizza costs less per slice than people will pay for a single slice at an event. When someone is hungry at a tournament or a school carnival, a hot slice is an easy sale. Your group buys the pizzas, cuts and serves them, and keeps everything above your cost.
Volume is your friend. A group ordering twenty pizzas cut into eight slices has 160 individual sales to make. The calculator above shows how quickly those slices add up, and why the price you set per slice matters more than any other number.
Which San Antonio Groups This Works For
Slice-sale fundraisers fit any group that draws a crowd on the West Side. Northside ISD school events, youth sports tournaments along the 151 corridor, church gatherings, and band or booster programs all put hungry people in one place at one time, which is exactly the condition a slice sale needs.
The best events share three traits: a captive crowd, a set time window, and no competing food nearby. A weekend tournament with families parked for hours is close to ideal. A quick after-school pickup is harder, because the window is short.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a pizza fundraiser actually work?
Your group orders pizzas in bulk, sells them by the slice at an event, and keeps the difference between what you paid and what you collect. There is no formal program to join. You are simply a customer who resells slices to raise money.
How many slices are in a pizza?
It depends on how the pizza is cut. A large pizza is commonly cut into 8 slices, though you can cut smaller for higher slice counts at an event. The planner above lets you set the number to match how yours are cut.
How many pizzas do I need for my fundraiser?
Start from your expected crowd and how many slices each person is likely to buy, then divide by slices per pizza. Ordering a little short is safer than overordering, since unsold pizza is a direct loss. Use the calculator to test different quantities before you commit.
Do I need a permit to sell pizza slices at an event?
Rules for selling food to the public vary by venue and by the type of event, and some locations or organizers require a temporary food permit. Check with your venue and your local health department before the event so you are covered.
Can I order pizza in bulk for a fundraiser in San Antonio?
Yes. Placing a large order ahead of time helps the kitchen prepare and helps your pizzas arrive together and hot. Order online or call the Highway 151 location to arrange the quantity and pickup time your event needs.
