BOSTON, Nov. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Uno Pizzeria & Grill® would like to thank those men and women who have risked their lives in service to our country. This Veteran's Day, UNO® invites all members of the military, both veterans and active duty, to enjoy a free entree or individual pizza with the purchase of an entree or pizza of equal or greater value. No coupon is necessary. Veterans or active military can simply show up with a military or veteran's ID or picture of themselves in uniform.
In addition, to help support military families, UNO is hosting a Dough Raiser on Veteran's Day in 96 locations throughout the US to support Fisher House Foundation, which helps provide military families free housing close to a loved who is hospitalized for an illness, disease or injury.

"We want all service men and women and their families to come in and let us take care of them. They do so much to take care of us. This is a small token of our appreciation for all they do and have done," says Louie Psallidas, chief executive officer of UNO. "We are proud of our strong history of military support, whether it's sending pizzas to the troops overseas, donating pizzas to local VA hospitals or helping to raise funds for organizations that support our men and women in uniform and their families, and we are honored to be able to partner with the wonderful people at Fisher House Foundation this Veteran's Day."
