PLANO, Texas, Sept. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a
jam packed weekend of grill-outs and end-of-summer vacations, kids
are finally back in school. Pizza Hut, the pizza restaurant that
serves and delivers more pizzas than any other pizza company in the
world, is making the transition into this busy week just a little
easier, with deals for seven straight days. To begin the week of
savings, Pizza Hut is offering $5
Large Cheese Pizzas on Sept. 5 in
celebration of National Cheese Pizza Day with online code
"SAYCHEESE."
For those looking to host a football season kick-off party on a
budget, Pizza Hut is also offering 50 percent off all menu-priced
pizza orders placed online from Sept.
5 – 11. To take advantage of the deal, consumers can
visit PizzaHut.com or download the Pizza Hut Mobile App for iPhone
and Android and click the 50 percent off tile.
"As summer wraps, kids head back to school, and football season
begins, Pizza Hut knows that pizza is an easy and fun dinner option
for families and fans this time of year," said Zipporah Allen, Vice President of Marketing,
Pizza Hut. "With National Cheese Pizza Day and our 50 percent off
online flash sale, Pizza Hut is offering fans a needed and
affordable treat to ease into the busy fall season."
The origin of National Cheese Pizza Day is unknown, but as many
as 350 slices of pizza are eaten every second in the U.S., so it is
no wonder such a tasty holiday exists. Pizza Hut produces more
cheese for its pizzas than any other pizza company, and not
surprisingly, cheese pizza was on the original Pizza Hut menu in
1958.
"Pizza Hut has a long-standing love affair with cheese, ranging
from our traditional cheese pizza to stuffed crust to all of the
other cheesy pizza innovations through the years," said Allen.
"It's only appropriate that we celebrate and honor National Cheese
Pizza Day!"
New this year on National Cheese Pizza Day will be the ability
of Pizza Hut fans to earn points toward free pizza for their order
as members of Hut Rewards, the only national pizza loyalty program
that rewards customers unlimited points for every dollar spent on
great-tasting food online. The points-based program rewards two
points for every one dollar spent
online on food, which can be applied toward a Medium ANY™ Pizza
(any recipe, any toppings) for 200 points; or a Large ANY™ Pizza
(any recipe, any toppings) for 250 points. Now through Oct. 1, Pizza Hut is offering double points on
all Pizza Hut food purchased online.
Hut Rewards is open to US residents age 13+. For details on how
to create your own Hut Rewards profile, and to learn more about
Pizza Hut, visit Blog.PizzaHut.com or head to www.PizzaHut.com
to order now.
The National Cheese Pizza Day and 50 percent off pizzas deal are
available for pizza orders placed through online ordering systems
for carryout or delivery. Discount does not apply to other
menu items, tax, delivery charge, or driver tip. The flash sale
cannot be combined with the SAYCHEESE deal on Sept. 5.
