Everyone is welcome at Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria for the restaurant’s Giveback Tuesday event at its Town & Country location on December 19, 2023. The entirety of the proceeds from the day will go to the Saint Louis Crisis Nursery (SLCN), a St. Louis-region nonprofit committed to the prevention of child abuse and neglect and providing trauma-informed emergency intervention, 24-hour respite care, and support to families in crisis.
Twice a month, we feature a local nonprofit charity to donate 100% of the earned proceeds from our Giveback Tuesday events. Lunch, dinner, drinks, and carryout are all included. So far, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria has donated $405,630 to nonprofit organizations here in St. Louis!

It takes a village! At Katie’s Pizza & Osteria, we know that one of the best ways to uplift a community is for its members to support each other one good deed at a time. Often, in life, it is the little daily things that help make a massive difference down the line. Those little things can include mowing a neighbor’s lawn, completing household tasks for the elderly couple across the street, or grabbing a bite to eat at your local, award-winning Italian eatery!
