Pizza Hut is back with its seasonal gameday football lineup, and the headline number is $10.
The Big Hut Deal gets you a large pizza with three toppings on whatever crust you want for a flat $10. It’s the kind of deal built for someone ordering solo before kickoff, and it isn’t meant to feed a crowd.
But what can fuel one for a long afternoon is what Pizza Hut calls the Triple Treat Box GameDay Edition, which delivers two pizzas (two medium 1-topping pizzas to be exact), 5 breadsticks, and 10 cinnamon sticks with prices starting at $21.99. You can add a 2-liter Pepsi for two more dollars if you want something to wash it all down.
The box is sized to last folks through the entire game and not just the first half.
Then there’s the packaging itself, which received the seasonal redesign treatment. The limited-edition Flick Football boxes come with a cutout that folds into field goal posts. Order two medium or large pizzas and line the boxes up back-to-back, and you’ve got a full tabletop field sitting on your coffee table. These are only around while supplies last, so they’re not guaranteed to stick through the whole season.
Taking the “HUT” literally
Pizza Hut also teamed up with Pepsi and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen for a national campaign built around the word “HUT,” officially branded as ‘Gameday Starts With the Hut’.
The campaign is a nod to the chain’s history and tradition, with gameday ranging from pregame tailgates to postgame runs and watch parties packed with people yelling at a television.
While last year’s campaign featured Tom Brady, this year’s version places focus on the fans instead, with the prize being free pizza for life (awarded as 1,000,000 Hut Rewards points valued at approximately $10,800 each).
To be in the running for the prize, Hut Rewards members simply need to head to ‘pizzahut.com/gamedaystartswithhut,’ upload a video of themselves saying “HUT” during a gameday moment, whether that involves snapping the ball yourself or just kicking off a watch party, along with a brief explanation of why gameday starts with a HUT for them.
The Big Hut Deal and the Triple Treat Box are available now at participating Pizza Hut locations nationwide. It’s running for a limited time, and prices may vary depending on where you are.
