🚨WOW!!!
A Bronx pizzeria owner saw a woman eating out of his GARBAGE.
He walked outside, took her by the hand, led her in, and pulled a hot slice straight from the oven for her.
She sat down and cried. He said: “Don’t cry. Eat. I don’t want you eating out of a garbage.” ❤️… pic.twitter.com/TJT5qW4zYH

She sat down and cried. He said: “Don’t cry. Eat. I don’t want you eating out of a garbage.” His name is Daniel Romano. He owns D’Romano’s Pizza in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx. He didn’t shoo her away. “I grabbed her by the hand and I led her to the pizzeria and I went in the oven and I got her a fresh slice and gave it to her. Sat down and she started crying. I said, ‘don’t cry, eat. This is not a problem.'” In that moment, he decided he’d never let it happen to anyone again. So he grabbed a marker, wrote a sign by hand, and taped it in his window for the whole neighborhood to see: “To the people eating out of my garbage, I have more love for you than you think. Please come in and tell me you’re hungry.
I will forever give you a slice and fresh water to drink.” When they asked him why, his answer was simple. “Right now, I think this world is shot. There’s too much hate. Too much negativity. Why not put a smile on someone’s face?” And it turns out this runs deep for Daniel. It goes all the way back to his mother, Carmella. “She had a saying in Italian. She used to say, ‘a desperate person will always make a better decision on a full stomach than on an empty.’ “It always stuck with me. So I feed people.” A desperate person makes a better decision on a full stomach. That handwritten sign has traveled way past the Bronx now. Daniel says people are calling him from Texas, Arkansas, Hawaii, even Alaska, all wanting to chip in and buy slices for hungry strangers they’ll NEVER MEET. “Don’t ask me, I didn’t even know Alaska had a phone.” It all started with one slice. One woman. One man who did something kind. GOD BLESS Daniel Romano. Matt Van Swol post
From the folks
- Share your food, never let a neighbor go hungry. My Dad lived through WWII by procuring food locally from the Italians. They shared whatever they could to keep American soldiers fed. They warned him of a German convoy waiting for him. He returned that generosity by growing a huge garden, enough to feed his six kids and everybody he could reach. Family gatherings attracted 150+ people. At his funeral, three generations heard stories of how he rescued Army buddies suffering from PTSD before it ever had a name. The world needs more people who share and care. – Rebecca
- Love this!!! When I worked at McDonald’s back in high school, we caught a homeless man eating out of the dumpster. After that night every burger and fries we had to throw away at closing, we’d put into bags and would leave it beside the dumpster for him. – Rhonda
- Sadly, every ghetto POS is going to take advantage of this man’s kindness. I already foresee it. We’re talking about the Bronx after all. – TRG
