Friday marks National Pizza Day, and the big question on everyone's mind is where they can grab a free slice or other deals courtesy of the food holiday.
Pizza is a beloved American dining staple. From parties to game nights or just your standard lunch or dinner, the cheesy dish makes its way into nearly every occasion. Pizza is so popular among Americans that the Agriculture Department estimates about 1 in 8 Americans eats pizza on any given day. And the average American eats pizza three times a month, according to Pizza Hut's 2024 Pizza Trends Report.
So National Pizza Day is just another perfect excuse to head to your favorite pizzeria and enjoy a meal.
Newsweek has compiled a list of the top deals nationwide.
Domino's is offering a "Perfect Combo Deal" that features two medium one-topping pizzas, an order of 16 Parmesan Bread Bites, eight Cinnamon Bread Twists and a 2-liter Coke.
All of this costs just $19.89 and will make for an ideal Super Bowl party kit, as Domino's will keep offering it until Super Bowl Sunday.
But if your pizza restaurant of choice is Papa John's, fear not. The chain is also offering a special Pizza Day meal, but it's available only to Papa Rewards members.
Members can win a Vegas Style Pizza, which will earn a lucky customer $58,000 "stuffed" in the pizza. Papa John's fans can earn extra entries by buying additional Epic Stuffed Crust pizzas, meaning a top fan will likely win.
Pizza Hut is offering a "Pizza Hut's Deal Lover's Menu." Specifically, diners can score two or more dishes for $7. Options include medium one-topping pizzas, melts, wings, pastas, sides and some new specialty snacks, like the Roasted Garlic Cheese Sticks, Bacon Cheddar Cheese Sticks and Chocolate Donut Bites.
If you're looking for more of a sit-down meal, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse has you covered. The restaurant chain is offering a $13 Mini Deep Dish Pizza & House Salad Combo lunch special.
The deal is available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for dine-in, takeout and delivery. Several different pizza options are available, from the Great White Pizza to the Pepperoni Extreme and Barbecue Chicken Pizza, as well as everything in between.
Cici's Pizza will also excite deal lovers as the chain is offering a 28-inch Piezilla starting at $49.99. You can also score a Classic with two Giant 1-Topping Pizzas and either 20 cinnamon rolls or 16 pieces of Cheesy Bread for just $29.99.
Dave & Buster's will offer a Food & Fun combo at all Main Event locations. It's for under $20 and serves you a personal pizza and game card to access bowling, laser tag, billiards and more.
Little Caesars, which regularly offers some of the cheapest pizza around, is serving up a Slices-N-Stix Super Bowl deal. To win the deal for a free Slices-N-Stix, you need to create an account on the Little Caesars app.
Marco's Pizza is another pizza chain joining in the celebration. It is offering a new Pizzoli house dough, stuffed with cheese mix and pepperoni or other fillings, for just $5.99 with the coupon code PIZZOLI. You can also take $3 off a specialty pizza by using the code SPECIAL3.
If you thought the deals were limited to just pizza chains, think again.
Potbelly Sandwich Works will offer free delivery on orders of $20 or more via its website or app. Luckily, pizza lovers can choose the fan favorite Pizza Melt sandwich, which comes with pepperoni, capicola, crumbled meatballs, marinara sauce, provolone, Italian seasoning and mushrooms.
