National Pizza Month: Chain Deals and Local Fundraisers

October’s National Pizza Month has prompted promotions and community events from national chains to local pizzerias. Thompson Restaurants is offering 25% off pizzas at its Matchbox and Wiseguy Pizza locations across Arlington, Fairfax, Reston and Herndon through late October with codes PIZZA4EVER and PIZZAMONTH. Pizza Hut has revived its value-focused Big Dinner Box starting at $19.99 and launched a nationwide campaign with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Pepsi tied to the football season. Mattenga’s Pizzeria is running a contest to win free pizza for a year and is linking purchases to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, while Home Slice Pizza’s Carnival O’ Pizza benefits Foundation Communities. The Rotary Club of College Station is hosting its annual “Pizza for a Purpose” fundraiser to provide clothing gift cards supporting roughly 150 local children in need. &pizza’s Za’Co Tuesday was also featured in a local TV taste segment.
