Quick-service chain continues tradition of deals to start new year
Pizza Hut is kicking off the new year with a 50-percent discount on pies ordered online or by app through Jan. 9, the company said Monday.
Plano, Texas-based Pizza Hut’s half-off discount continues a tradition of new-year deals. The chain greeted 2016 by introducing a “$5 Flavor Menu.”
“The weeks after the holiday season can be financially tight for many, ” said David Timm, Pizza Hut’s chief marketing officer, in a statement last week. “With this quick and easy offer, we’re making sure Pizza Hut fans can enjoy the pizza they love without breaking the bank.”
Pizza Hut said its deal can be accessed by clicking a 50-percent-off tile on its website or mobile app.
