Teaser / Tailpiece story
A Bronx pizzeria owner is offering free pizza and water to people who are struggling to afford food.
Daniel Romano of D’Romano’s Pizza invited a woman inside and gave her a meal after seeing her take food from his rubbish.
He then put up a handwritten sign inviting anyone who is hungry to come inside for a free slice and water.
The gesture has attracted calls from across the United States, with people offering to help pay for meals for others in need.
Romano says he was inspired by his mother, who taught him to help people in need.
