If you were looking to lose weight this week, the odds were highly stacked against you. Just two days after National Cheeseburger Day wrapped up, we’re now at National Pepperoni Pizza Day.
As with any food-based holiday, this is (of course) an excuse to be gluttonous and for companies to move more product. But seeing as Americans chow down on over 250 million pounds of the cured meat pizza topping each year, it’s a pretty safe bet this will be a widely observed holiday.
There are a handful of pizza places offering some noteworthy deals to note the event. And while you won't find anyone offering a completely free pizza, several chains are coming pretty close this year.
Domino’s
It’s not tied to Pepperoni Pizza Day, but when customers order two or more menu items from the chain’s $6.99 menu, it will upsize one of those pizzas from medium to large through Sept. 29. You get two toppings, so feel free to double down on the pepperoni!
Papa John’s
Get an extra-large New York Style one-topping pizza (it doesn’t have to be pepperoni) for $10.99. The chain also has a value menu with items, including medium pizzas, for $6.99, when you order two or more. No upsizing, though.
Little Caesar’s
Need more than pepperoni for your pizza to be complete? You can get a pepperoni, Italian sausage and bacon pie for just $8.99 at the chain.
Papa Murphy’s
Get 25% off orders of $25 or more today.
Crust Pizza Co.
Grab a large pepperoni pizza for just $10 today only.
Marco’s
What better time for the chain to promote its “Triple Pepperoni Magnifico Pizza”? It’s on sale now for $11.99.
Mountain Mike’s Pizza
Mountain Rewards members will get 15% off of a large pepperoni pizza today.
Hungry Howie’s
The company is offering its ’73 Classic Pizza (which, spoiler alert, is a pepperoni pizza) for $9.99 today only.
Donato’s Pizza
Get a large pepperoni pizza for just $10.99 with the code PEPP on Friday.
Chuck E. Cheese
