ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's
Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) is kicking off Pi Day the best way it knows
how to: by offering 50 percent off all menu-priced pizza orders
placed online for an entire week, beginning today and running
through Sunday, March 20.
"Our favorite 'pi' is pizza pie, of course, and we wanted to
give college basketball fans a special deal during the first week
of the tournament games," said Jenny
Fouracre, Domino's spokesperson. "Basketball fans can now
enjoy their favorite pizza combinations at half off when they use
Domino's digital ordering channels."
College basketball's tournament month is a busy time for
Domino's, especially near the end of it. Domino's sold more than
1.8 million pizzas during the 2015 semifinals and championship game
nights combined – enough to give 25 pizzas to each person walking
into the stadium at the final game in Houston this year.
"While college basketball teams across the U.S. prepare and
compete for a spot in the finals, Domino's team members are
preparing in their own way," said Fouracre. "They're putting on
their game faces and gearing up for some busy delivery days."
The 50 percent off deal is only available on menu-priced pizzas
ordered through Domino's digital ordering channels, which include
Domino's website (www.dominos.com), as well as the
iPad®, iPhone®, Android™, Windows
Phone 8 and Kindle Fire® apps.
