CM Punk is honoring the memory of his beloved dog Larry in the most heartfelt—and uniquely Chicago—way possible.
On January 8, 2026, PAWS Chicago announced that the Second City Saint has teamed up with Piece Pizzeria for the fourth annual “Slice to Meet You” campaign, a charity effort raising funds for homeless animals across the city. Punk’s contribution? A custom-made pizza named after Larry, the rescue dog he and AJ Lee adopted in 2015.
The limited-time pizza, called “The Larry,” features Hot Doug’s smoked sausage and Ezzo’s Cup & Char pepperoni and is available for $35. Each sale triggers a $70 donation to PAWS Chicago, thanks to matching support from six donors and Piece Pizzeria itself. The campaign will run through April 9, 2026, with new collaborations dropping monthly. In his statement, Punk explained that the project is more than just a tribute—it’s a way to give back.
“Adopting Larry through PAWS Chicago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” Punk said. “This campaign is a way to honor his memory while giving other dogs and cats the same opportunity to find a loving home. If a slice of pizza can help save lives, that’s something I’m proud to be part of.”
This comes just over a month after Punk publicly revealed Larry’s passing in an emotional Instagram post that touched fans around the world. In the post, Punk described Larry’s final moments and the deep bond they shared, writing:
“Our little Larry crossed the rainbow bridge, wrapped tightly in our arms. He was safe and happy. Surrounded by love.”
With a little love and a lot of pizza, CM Punk is making sure Larry’s legacy lives on—not just in memories, but in second chances for pets still waiting to be rescued.
