For the owners of Villano’s Italian restaurant in Old Town Pocatello, it’s all about paying it forward. Or as they call it — “Pizza Forward.” Last week, Aaron and Lisa Villano launched a new campaign at their restaurant at 165 N. Main St. that allows customers to buy a $2 slice of pizza for somebody who is homeless or can’t afford a hot meal.

Those who are hungry and in need, but do not have the means to pay for food, can enter the restaurant and tell the server that they need to take advantage of the Pizza Forward campaign. Then the money that has been previously donated will be used to buy them a slice of pizza, no questions asked.
