Our Mission: Empowering Creators with 0% Platform Fees
BuyMePizza was created to solve a glaring problem in the creator economy: traditional tipping and membership platforms take between 5% and 12% of creator earnings, plus exorbitant payment processor fees, international currency conversion markups, and hold periods lasting up to 30 days.
We believe creators should keep 100% of what their fans send. With modern blockchain technology, there is zero reason for a middleman to hold your money, take a percentage cut, or freeze payouts.
BuyMePizza operates on a purely non-custodial model. When a supporter buys you a pizza, their crypto transfers directly from their self-custody wallet into your personal wallet on-chain in seconds.
Why Pizzas Instead of Coffee? 🍕
In May 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made history by buying two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins — the very first real-world commercial cryptocurrency transaction in human history.
The pizza has become the universal symbol of grassroots cryptocurrency culture, community generosity, and decentralized peer-to-peer commerce. BuyMePizza celebrates this legacy by turning every tip into a digital slice of appreciation that directly supports your creative work.
