Nicola Pizza held a dining fundraiser Jan. 14, in support of Roberto "Bert" Gutierrez, the establishment’s head chef, who lost everything in a fire around Christmastime.
Combined with $6,000 presented by the Skeeter Strong Foundation, Nicola raised more than $15,000 in donations to help Gutierrez begin rebuilding his life.
