On Tuesday night, Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari and his wife Eleonora joined the staff of Eataly’s La Pizza & La Pasta to make his “Pizza del gallo” for customers, with a portion of the proceeds going to charity.
Gallinari, nicknamed Il Gallo or rooster in English, partnered with the Prudential Center restaurant to benefit the St. Baldrick’s foundation, a funder of childhood cancer research.
From April 11 to May 11, Gallinari’s pizza will be available on the restaurant’s menu for $22, with $1 of every purchase donated to St. Baldrick’s.
The Italian first teamed up with the foundation in November, and has since made donations, visited children fighting cancer, and shaved his head as an act of solidarity with all who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy.
