“Random acts of pizza” (random acts of kindness + pizza) gives free pizza to people. Figaro’s Pizza had “Random Acts of Pizza” campaigns in 2004 and 2006, when it randomly delivered free pizza to local residents.
 
The Reddit website Random Acts of Pizza started up in 2010 (there is a trademark from December 7, 2010)  and provided easy access for anyone to commit a Random Act of Pizza. In April 2013, free pizzas were sent to people in Boston in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings.
 
There is also an active trademark for “Random Acts of Pizza” from September 2002, registered by the Donatos Pizzeria Corporation.

Good will online comes in pizza form

San Francisco (CNN)—Arranging to have pizzas delivered to a stranger’s door is a classic prank.
 
On the Web, it’s charity.
 
Ashley Qualls found that out recently when she posted an offer on the link-sharing website called Reddit. The Santa Clarita, California, native was feeling especially charitable one day and asked the site’s audience of 18.8 million visitors how she could donate to people in need.
 
“Someone had commented saying, ‘Hey, you should take this over to Random Acts of Pizza,’ ” Qualls said.

‘Random Acts of Pizza’ sent to thank Boston-area first responders in wake of bombings, manhunt
Posted by Matt Rocheleau April 22, 2013 03:27 PM
By Andrew Ba Tran and Matt Rocheleau, Town Correspondents
First responders in dozens of Boston-area communities are getting free shipments of food – primarily pizza – sent by people from across the globe who are eager to show their admiration and gratitude for the tireless work of the past week to treat victims, secure neighborhoods and track down two men who allegedly bombed the Marathon.
(...)
Much of the effort has been coordinated online, through social media and websites like Reddit.com. The campaign has been nicknamed “Random Acts of Pizza,” which has its own website, http://www.randomactsofpizza.com, which is described as a “sub-community” of Reddit.
