Try herbivore and carnivore pizza for wildlife conservation

Popular Pizzeria in East Downtown Houston, Vinnie’s of Agricole Hospitality, has partnered with the Houston Zoo for the cause of making cheese. Just in time for the return of his TXU energy event, Feast with the Beast, on Friday, April 14th. Beginning yesterday and through Friday, May 5, Houston will be serving two of his artisan pizzas with herbivore and carnivore themes. A team of zoo keepers and Vinnies. Available for takeout, delivery, or sitting in Vinny’s Dining Room.

These specialty pizzas are from two of the zoo’s most energetic animals, the two jaguars Tesoro and Vida, found in the South American Pantanal exhibit, and the nine western lowland gorillas that live in the zoo’s African Forest exhibit. It’s inspired. Throughout the month, guests can go to Vinny’s, taste each pizza served by the slice or pie, and vote for their favorite pizza. The winning pizza will be announced in his mid-May, and a portion of the proceeds from both pizzas will go to the Houston Zoo’s wildlife conservation efforts.

• Working with conservationists around the world to save species such as Rwanda’s mountain gorilla and Borneo’s Asian elephant
• In Texas, it breeds endangered native species such as the Houston toad and the Atwater prairie chicken, and operates a sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation program.

Dubbed “Gorilla Grub,” the herbivore team’s pizza includes fresh vegetarian options like charred broccoli, kale, ricotta, pineapple, onions, and peppers. Meanwhile, the carnivore team’s pizza ‘All Gold Jaguar’ has golden onion sauce, smoked pork loin, chorizo, cheddar cheese, portabella mushrooms, garlic and chili. A true golden classic.

“Whether it’s a carnivore, a herbivore or an omnivore, saving animals in the wild is something anyone who eats pizza can contribute to,” said Lindsay Whitehead, senior director of sales and marketing at the Houston Zoo. says.

“We are thrilled to partner with Binny’s on this exciting fundraiser and can’t wait for the people of Houston to get the chance to discuss their favorite pizzas.”

Houstonians (or out-of-towners) can stop by Vinny’s any time through May 5th, taste the pie, and vote for their favorite pie. Vinny’s is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11am to midnight.

“Our Vinny’s team loves attending the Feast With The Beast every year and wanted to find a way to show our support in our restaurants,” said Vincent, co-owner and culinary director of Agricole Hospitality. Mr Hein said. “Pizza connects people as much as animals do, so we are excited to shine a spotlight on fresh, high-quality ingredients through this unique lens.”

With specially curated pizzas and charitable donations from Houston Dash and Houston in May 2022, it was established to give back to the community and foster meaningful relationships between local organizations across a variety of industries. This is the third installment in the Binny’s Pizza partnership series. Ballet in December 2022. Who would have thought supporting good intentions could be so awesome?
