2. Find Promotions And Special Deals

Some pizza chains offer special deals and promotions that may include free pizza.

It can be offered for a limited time or is available on certain days or months.

Be on the lookout and wait for announcements from your local pizza chain or restaurant.

For instance, Pizza Boli’s has a Special Offer that allows you to buy any Large Pizza at regular menu price and get a second large pizza of equal or lesser value for free.

In addition, this offer is available on Mondays only.

If your birthday is coming up, you can also get a free pizza at some pizza chains like Papa Murphy’s.

Papa Murphy’s offers a free birthday pizza with MySLICE Rewards when you join and sign up.

To get a free birthday pizza, you have to be a MySLICE Rewards member and make a qualifying visit at least 180 days before your birthday.

You will get a Birthday Reward added to your account, which can be redeemed online or in-store within seven days for up to $16 worth of regular-price pizza.

3. Use Promo Codes Or Coupons

Promo codes and coupons not only give you huge discounts but the possibility to get free pizzas.

If you have a promo code, simply enter the code before checking out online or give it to the cashier when you order in-store.

Promo codes and coupons can be given out by pizza chains or at sites like Slickdeals.

Keep in mind there are certain terms and conditions that apply when availing these.

Moreover, promo codes and coupons may vary per store location, so make sure to check with your local pizza chain store for the latest deals.

An example of a promo code is PAPAREWARD from Papa John’s.

This code is applied for qualifying online orders with a minimum $15 purchase.

A day after placing the order, you will get 25 bonus Papa Rewards to your online account.

With 25 bonus Papa Rewards, you get a free large pizza with three toppings.

4. Be Gifted With A Gift Card

Got a gift card as a present?

Remember to use it and claim a free or discounted pizza.

If the amount on the gift card is equivalent to a whole pizza, then you get a free pizza!

However, if the amount is less than the price of a whole pizza, you only get a discounted pizza.

Gift cards are commonly bought in pizza chains such as Domino’s Gift Card, Marco’s Pizza Gift Card, and Godfather’s Gift Card.

You don’t have to wait for gift cards to be given to you as a present since several businesses give out gift cards that can be used in participating stores like pizza chains and restaurants.

This usually happens when you participate in a company’s promotional campaign and in exchange, you will be given a gift card for participating.

5. Join A Contest With Giveaways Or Freebies

Several events have contests that give out free pizzas.

Check the news, your local neighborhood events, or pizza chains and restaurants holding a contest with free pizza giveaways.

For instance, you can win a free pizza when you join DiGiorno’s Super Bowl Big Game promotion held every year.

All you need to do is kick the ball while making sure it hits the crossbar of the goalpost.

You want the ball to bounce off and doink to get a coupon for one free DiGiorno pizza.

6. Work At A Pizza Chain

Working at a pizza chain or restaurant guarantees a free pizza from time to time.

Sometimes, the staff gets a free pizza at the end of the day.

According to some people at Glassdoor, one of the benefits of working at Pizza Hut is you get a personal pizza when you work more than five hours or have a canceled order.

Another example is working at &pizza, where employees and their families get free pizza as a benefit.

7. Join Pizza Challenges Or A Pizza Eating Contest

Pizza challenges or eating contests usually reward the winner with free pizza or cash money.

Not only do you get to eat free pizza already in one sitting, but you also get the chance to get a reward for another free pizza to enjoy when you want it.

An example of this is Alberto’s Pizza Shop’s Pizza Challenge which requires two people to eat a 28-inch cheese pizza in 28 minutes.

If you complete the challenge, you get pizza for free and $100.

Another example of an eating contest is from The Pizza Joint’s 5th annual pizza eating contest, where participants should eat as much pizza as possible in five minutes.

The participant with the most pizza eaten wins free pizza for a year and a trophy!

8. Take Advantage Of National Pizza Day And Pi Day

People love pizza so much that there is even a day created to celebrate it called National Pizza Day and Pi Day.

National Pizza Day is celebrated every 9th of February, while Pi Day is on the 14th of March.

During these occasions, pizza chains and restaurants usually offer special discounts and deals to celebrate the day.

For instance, Chuck E. Cheese offers a free pizza when you buy one large one-topping pizza on National Pizza Day.

When you spend at least $30 at Pasqually’s and use the promo code PIZZADAY, you get a free large cheese pizza.

What NOT To Do If You Want Free Pizza

There is a fine line between getting free pizza and lying to get one.

When you are on the hunt for free pizzas, make sure you do not do anything dishonest and illegal to avoid getting in trouble.

Do not taint your morals and character just for a free item.

Moreover, it is important to always show respect and appreciation to pizzerias and the people working there.

So, remember to follow these guidelines:

1. Do not lie about getting a wrong order: Some pizza chains offer a free item to replace a wrong order. Never claim to have been given a wrong order just to get a free item. You risk getting banned from the store if you get caught lying about a wrong order. Moreover, you can jeopardize an employee’s job and hurt their reputation.
2. Do not make up false stories or post fake reviews online: Pizza chains can give free items to make up for bad service (if found true after thorough investigation). However, this can be abused by some people. Some people may make up stories or post lies about poor reviews regarding bad experiences with the service, an employee, or food quality. Not only is this method unfair to the pizzeria and the employees, but you will be in hot water and may end up in a legal battle.
3. Do not cheat or take advantage of flaws in promotions or the system: Trying to cheat your way for a free item can get you disqualified from future promotions or orders. Even worse – you may be banned from the store. Moreover, if you do find an error in the pizzeria’s online ordering system, you may get caught one way or another.
4. Do not try to steal pizza, ever!: Stealing is obviously illegal and not worth a free pizza if you wind up in jail for it. Not only is it illegal, but unethical as well. You may get banned, have a criminal record, and end up with a bad reputation.

Hungry For Free Pizza?

Score a free pizza by following all the 10 effective methods mentioned above.

And remember – never ever lie, make up false stories, cheat, or steal just to get a free pizza.

Find promotions and deals, use a promo code, or eat your way out with eating contests and challenges for a free guiltless pizza.

Don’t forget to celebrate your love for pizza with a special holiday such as National Pizza Day And Pi Day.

However, if you want the easiest way to get a free pizza, simply join a pizza chain’s loyalty program and earn points.

It may not be the fastest way to get a free pizza, but it is definitely the most guaranteed way to get one.

It is worth noting that the examples of promos, deals, codes, and offers given in this article may have changed, been discontinued, or are still available.
