PLANO, Texas, March 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ordering pizza
may never be easier, or more fun, than right now thanks to Pizza
Hut.
Pizza Hut®, which serves and delivers more pizzas than
any other pizza company in the world, already features a menu
of easy ordering options, including the Pizza Hut app, mobile site,
Facebook and Twitter messenger, Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Amazon Tap
and Fire TV.
And now, just in time for college basketball's signature event,
the Official Pizza of the NCAA, March Madness and the Final
Four® has taken its digital ordering experience to the next
level with Pizza Hut Pie Tops, a custom-designed, first-of-its-kind
basketball shoe that can order pizza for delivery at the press of a
button on the shoe's tongue.
For real.
"It's always important that we make it easy for fans to order
the Pizza Hut pizza they love without missing a moment of the March
Madness action," said David Daniels,
Vice President, Media & Advertising, Pizza Hut. "We know pizza
is a fan favorite during the NCAA College Basketball Tournament,
and our special-edition Pie Tops are a culturally-timed creative
expression of our commitment to providing the easiest pizza
ordering and delivery experience possible."
The Pizza Hut Pie Tops are equipped with Bluetooth communication
via a smart button inside the shoe tongue. The button connects the
actual Pie Tops shoes to the user's phone and the Pie Tops app,
allowing the user to press the button and instantly submit a pizza
order.
To showcase how easy pizza ordering and delivery is at Pizza
Hut, the brand enlisted basketball great and March Madness legend
Grant Hill to star in its latest TV
campaign. In the creative, Hill demonstrates that success on the
basketball court takes hard work, but ordering pizza is easy as
pie.
Pizza Hut is making easy pizza delivery the game plan for fans
everywhere throughout the March Madness tournament with a slam dunk
deal. Pizza lovers can get a large two-topping pizza online for
just $7.99 or any specialty for just
$3 more. Deal does not apply to other
menu items, tax, delivery charge, or driver tip and Pie Tops are
not generally available to the public.
Pizza Hut offers a variety of ways to make digital ordering
easier, including a re-order button, the option to choose from the
most popular pizzas menu and social sign in for PizzaHut.com
accounts. More information is available at
www.PizzaHutAllAccess.com.
In 2016, Pizza Hut announced its multi-year partnership with the
NCAA and launched the Pizza Hut All-American program, providing one
fan the opportunity to attend every DI national championship. Fans
can follow the journey of winner, Jason
Zone Fisher, on Instagram and Twitter at @PHAllAmerican.
