Santa’s Pizza donates £1,000 to Mayor of Burnley’s Charity Fund

Santa’s Pizza has generously donated £1,000 to the Mayor of Burnley’s Charity Fund, reaffirming its longstanding commitment to supporting local communities.

Founded in 1990, Santa’s Pizza began its journey in Burnley with an unexpected twist – the original owner intended to name the establishment ‘Pizza Centre’, but due to a signage mix-up, it became ‘Pizza Santa’. Embracing the festive error, the name stuck, and the brand has since become a cherished part of the local culture.

Under the leadership of Mr Qaiser Mehdi, who started as a delivery driver while attending university, Santa’s Pizza has expanded to six locations across Lancashire.
