Program Overview
Boston Pizzas School Lunch Program (SLP) is a partnership between local schools and Boston Pizza restaurants that provides fresh, balanced meals to students during the school day. Launched in major Canadian markets in 2018, the program is built on three core ideas: nutrition, convenience, and community support.
Meals are prepared inrestaurant each day, using highquality ingredients and strict foodsafety standards. Schools order the required number of lunches through an online portal, and participating Boston Pizza locations deliver the meals directly to the schools kitchen or cafeteria. The service is designed to fit within existing school schedules, with delivery windows that avoid class interruptions.
