Fundraising is currently going on to help towards repairs at Derwent Pizza after criminal activity at the much beloved restaurant.

In the early morning on Friday, July 14 a break and enter happened at the Derwent Hotel where Derwent Pizza is located.

The front door was pulled off by a truck and chain in order to break in.

Money was stolen from the safe and VLTs during the break-in.

Coworkers have organized a GoFundMe to try and recoup some of the money that is needed to fix the doors.

This fundraiser is currently kept as a surprise to owner Mike Davies.

So far, they are coming off on having raised $2000.

Claimed by some to be “Alberta’s Best Pizza,” the hotel is one of the few businesses in the hamlet, located southwest of Elk Point.
