How much will Miami pay for a slice of pizza? A truck in Wynwood will help us find out

How much would you pay for a slice of pizza if you could pay what you want and you learn that the proceeds are aimed toward a charity that helps kids?

Miami pizza fanatics are about to find out Saturday.

Newman’s Own, a food company founded by the late actor Paul Newman that is known for donating its profits to groups that help children facing adversity, hosts its national Pay What You Want Pizza truck in Miami on Saturday.

Here’s how it works: A Pay What You Want Pizza truck rolls into Wynwood Saturday and invites customers to choose their own price for a slice of pizza. Proceeds go to the Newman’s Own Foundation.

You’ve a choice of four kinds of pizza in the Miami run — margherita, supreme, four cheese, and pepperoni.

Where to find the pizza truck

Look for the sea-green pizza truck with its image of a reclining Paul Newman munching on a slice in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District at 170 NW 26th St.

Pizza will be offered from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 13, and you name your price for a slice.

“We can’t wait to share our delicious pizza, celebrate the great generosity in this country, and help even more kids. Come by and enjoy a slice,” said David Best, president and CEO of Newman’s Own, Inc. in a statement.

What are people paying?

The Newman’s Own Pay What You Want Pizza truck started hitting streets in New York City on June 20, and has been to Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and Los Angeles before Miami, Chicago, Michigan and Ohio into July.
