http://ianspizza.com/Ian's Pizza donated food to the protesters and are being rewarded for it. That's how you do business.

We rarely take sides on any debate unless you want to talk about food -- fresh vs. old, delicious vs. yucky, Wisconsin cheese vs. California cheese (whose cows are truly happier?). But other than that, we really just want to serve you the best food we can, using the best possible ingredients, with the best possible customer service.
Now, maybe you've heard a little bit about what's been happening in Madison this past week. Protests, marching, little ol' Wisconsin on the national news...sounding vaguely familiar?
Yes, we've seen tens of thousands of people vigorously exercising their right to freedom of speech, steps from our front door. We're not going to get too in-depth here (we are just pizza people, after all) but suffice it to say it's been a rather unusual mid-February downtown.
On Tuesday night/Wednesday morning we took a late-night call from folks still over at the Capital; they were wondering if they could have our end-of-night leftovers. Well, of course -- we're always glad to hand out food at 3:30am! (That is pretty much our reason for existence... well, that and the house-made ranch dressing.)
The next day we got a handful of calls from folks throughout the country, people who had heard about our late-night donation. Then a few more the next day, and next thing, fast forward to 5pm on Saturday when we were so inundated with calls - - from over half the states in the Union and from international locales ranging from Canada to Denmark -- that our normal business had to essentially be shut down so we could focus on feeding the protestors...
