Pizza Website Coupons

If you want a company’s best coupons, often the best choice is to head directly to their website. If you have a specific place that you love to get your pizza from, then this is definitely what you should do. It’s often easier than trying to find the best deal using promo codes from other parts of the web.

Pizza Hut Deals

Pizza Hut currently has nine deals listed on their website. Some of these are day-specific. For example, they offer a discount on wings on Wednesdays. If you’re just looking for regular pizza coupons and deals then you might like their offer of $9.99 for a large three-topping pizza.

Domino’s Pizza Deals

Domino’s coupon page lists three national deals:

$19.99 for The Perfect Combo Deal: 2 medium 1-topping pizzas, 16-piece Parmesan bread bites, 8-piece Cinna Stix, and 2-liter bottle of Coca-Cola
$7.99 for any three-topping pizza; choose from any of five crust types
Order two or more items off of the “mix and match” menu and get them for $5.99 each.

Domino’s also offers specific local deals. Ask your store what they have on sale right now before you order.

Round Table Pizza Deals

Round Table Pizza currently advertises only one major deal on its website. It’s a large Double Play Pepperoni Pizza for $19.99. If you love Round Table, and you love pepperoni, then this might be worth it for you. But if you like all pizza brand then the large three-topping pizza from Pizza Hut is $10 cheaper. Or for the same price as the Double Play you could get all of those extras that are in the Domino’s Perfect Combo Deal. This is an example of how it pays to do some quick comparison shopping online before deciding on the best pizza for the night.

Sign Up for Loyalty Pizza Coupons and Deals

In addition to the pizza coupons and deals offered on websites, many companies offer special deals to their loyal fans and followers. You can get access to those deals in a number of ways. For example:

Follow your favorite pizza places on social media.
Sign up for text alerts and email notices from your favorite pizza place.
Subscribe to their newsletters.
Download their apps.
Join any loyalty programs that they offer.

For example, Papa John’s doesn’t advertise specific national pizza deals and coupons on their website. However, they do offer local deals. You can sign up for text or email alerts to get weekly deal notices. Their app has special promos. Plus they offer Papa Rewards, a loyalty program through which you can earn points to pay for your pizza.

If you really love pizza and want to get deals regularly, there are a variety of newsletters that you can sign up for. EatDrinkDeals and PizzaNeed are just two of many examples. They’ll send you the latest pizza coupons and deals on a regular basis.

Check Groupon for Pizza Deals

Personally, I prefer to get pizza from my amazing local restaurants than from the national chains. Most of those offer deals right now. Usually I’ll just call them up or check their websites to find out what the deals are. However, it’s always wise to check Groupon, too.

I did a quick search for Groupon pizza coupons and deals in San Francisco and found dozens of them. Some are for local sites of national chains. For example, there’s a Groupon for Two Large Specialty Takeout pizzas at Papa John’s for $30 which is a $15 savings. Groupon also offers quite a few “cash back” pizza coupons in my area including 20% at Pizza Zone ‘n Grill, 20% at Abe’s Pizza, and 25% at Golden State Pizza & Grill.

I thought I’d see what kind of Groupon pizza coupons and deals are available in other areas, so I did a search in my hometown of Tucson, Arizona. They didn’t have nearly as much to offer, but I still found a few good deals there. For example, ZPizza offers one large pizza and 24 ounces of beer for $18. (They also have additional coupons for more beer at slightly higher prices.) And remember, they also offer coupons for some of the big chains. For example, they offer 25% off menu-priced items at Pizza Hut.

Consider Buying Pizza at the Grocery Store

If you’re looking into pizza coupons and deals, don’t just limit yourself to what restaurants are selling. Remember that you can get pizza at grocery stores, too. Many people love the pizza slices at Costco. If you’re going shopping there anyway, plan on that for a meal. Trader Joe’s doesn’t offer coupons but has good prices on their take-home pizza dough. Depending on the type of pizza you want and how much effort you’re willing to put in, you should be able to get a decent price to satisfy your pizza craving.

Which Pizza Rewards Program Delivers the Best Deals?

May 21, 2018 By Travis Pizel 1 Comment

Pizza rewards programs -- does it make you salivate?

The only thing that tastes better than pizza is free pizza. Three of the top chains in the U.S. give loyal customers the opportunity to earn free food. Here comes a comparison of the pizza rewards programs offered by Domino’s, Pizza Hut, and Papa John’s.

Domino’s

Domino’s Piece of the Pie program gives you 10 points for each order over $10, tax and tip excluded.

A maximum of 10 points can be earned per order, and only one qualified order is allowed per 24-hour period. Once you earn 60 points, you can redeem them for a free two-topping medium pizza — that’s the only reward option, however.

However, if you play your cards right, you could earn that free pizza after spending just $60, parsed out over six separate orders. That’s a pretty good deal.

Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut Rewards members earn two points for every dollar spent ordering online.

There’s no limit to the number of points you can earn per order. And since you can claim a reward after spending just $75, so you might even be able to score it in your first delivery if, say, you’re getting a delivery for a party.

The program actually has three tiers of rewards:

150 points ($75)– medium two topping pizza with the choice of hand tossed or thin and crispy crust
200 points ($100)– any medium pizza
250 points ($125) – any large pizza

Papa John’s

Rewards program members earn one point for every five dollars spent online. Papa Rewards members have an impressive amount of choices when redeeming reward points:

10 points ($50)– bread sides or desserts
15 points ($75)– medium two topping pizza
25 points ($125)– large three topping or pan pizza
30 points ($150) – specialty pizza

The Best of the Pizza Rewards Programs

Ultimately the choice between pizza rewards programs ought to rely on your consumption habits: If you make a large quantity of small orders, Domino’s might seem like the best deal.

However, if you tend to make a smaller quantity of larger-sized orders, then you might prefer Pizza Hut or Papa John.

If you want the most variety in pizza rewards, then Papa John’s might be for you — or if you really want to mix it up, you could sign up for all three and alternate. Of course, the latter choice might be best for people who really consume a lot of pizza.

Readers, what’s your favorite pizzeria? Do you belong to any pizza rewards programs, or would you switch pizzerias in order to claim (more) free pizza? If you’re in any pizza rewards programs, how often do you score free pizza?

Study Says Kids Eating Pizza Is One Culprit Behind Childhood Obesity

January 19, 2015 By Lilian Nwa 3 Comments

In 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama started her Let’s Move! Campaign to combat child obesity. As discussed in the October 7, 2014, issue of The New York Times Magazine, the average weight of American children has been increasing since the 1980’s, and approximately 33 percent of children are overweight or obese. Unfortunately, these obese and overweight children often become obese and overweight adults, and by 2030 more than half the adult population in the US is expected to be “dangerously overweight.”

However, the ramifications of carrying around extra weight go far beyond aesthetics. Overweight individuals are more likely to suffer from diabetes, stroke and heart disease, and to treat these chronic diseases will continue to drive healthcare costs at a staggering annual rate. Already heart disease and stroke account for $432 billion per year in healthcare spending and diabetes costs $174 billion each year.

In this context, the Institute of Medicine has recently completed new guidelines in order to “bring school meals in compliance with national dietary guidelines.” But such guidelines are only half the battle. Indeed, when children go home, parents must be aware of what foods they feed their children and how that food can impact their future health.

Thus, the importance of a new study published online in the journal Pediatrics, the authors studied the impact of pizza consumption on children’s’ caloric intact. The researchers discovered that pizza is a significant source of calories, salt and saturated fat in children’s diet. Specifically, when children eat pizza, they consume approximately 408 additional calories compared with their regular diets, whereas teenagers consume an additional 624 calories.

To complete the study, the authors used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Participants using this survey are asked to remember the various food items they consumed or drank in the past 24 hours. Responses form over 7,400 children and more than 6,400 adolescents were also examined between 2003 and 2010.

Lisa Powel, one of the study co-authors and director of the Illinois Prevention Research Center has said, “People should aim to curb pizza consumption, particularly as a snack where it was shown to have the largest adverse impact on children’s [caloric] intact.” Powel recommends that a “healthy pizza” should be developed in which the amount of saturated fat and salt in certain food items is reduced and the whole grain content is increased.

While pizza is not the only food driving childhood obesity, its large-scale consumption by school-age children and teenagers alike underscore that changes must be made to America’s lifestyle. As Alexis Tindel, a clinical dietitian with the Center for Healthy Weight & Nutrition told journalist, “Make [food] at home, instead of ordering it out where you don’t have any control how it’s made…choose healthier toppings, increase the vegetables and lean proteins, and put less cheese…” These steps will afford parents greater control over the quality of foods they place in their children’s mouths — and their own.
