ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's
(NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza
delivery, again will be celebrating one of the most exciting
moments in America's favorite pastime by giving away one of
America's favorite foods: pizza. 40,000 of them, to be
exact.
All registered MLB.com users will be eligible to receive a free
pizza. Domino's will give away 20,000 pizzas after each of the
first two no-hitters during the 2015 MLB regular season. Spurred by
furious social media activity and fan excitement, last year's first
two no-hitters, which took place less than four weeks apart, saw
the entire allotment of pizzas claimed in under ten minutes
combined.
"What better way to celebrate one of the greatest achievements
in sports – the no-hitter – than with free pizza?" said
Tim McIntyre, Domino's spokesperson.
"Domino's is excited to be partnering with MLB.com to continue
giving baseball fans a delicious way to get in on the
excitement."
The first 20,000 baseball fans who visit and log in to
MLB.com/dominos beginning at 3 p.m.
EDT on the business day following the no-hitter will receive
a code for a free, two-topping medium Handmade Pan Pizza (carryout
only) when they order online from dominos.com. The DomiNoNo offer
for each no-hitter is available until 20,000 codes are given away,
or for five days starting at 3 p.m.
EDT on the business day following the no-hitter. The
promotion is valid after each of the first two no-hitters of the
2015 MLB regular season.
To further spur baseball fans' enthusiasm when a no-hitter is in
progress, the promotion will again leverage multiple digital
platforms. When a no-hitter is in progress through the sixth inning
of any game, fans will be encouraged to follow #DomiNoNo and
@MLB on Twitter for up-to-the-moment game alerts or watch live
look-ins on MLB.com or the award-winning MLB.com At Bat mobile
app.
