Pepperoni? The question that has captured
America’s attention will now be debated at The Pizza Party’s online
hub:
PizzaHut.com/PizzaParty DALLAS (Oct. 11, 2012) – Pizza Hut
and
The Pizza Party
announced today that the age-old toppings question – Sausage or
Pepperoni? –
originally intended
for the candidates during the Oct. 16 town hall presidential debate
will now
instead be open to the public and asked online at
PizzaHut.com/PizzaParty.
Posing the question to consumers online gives millions of Americans a
chance to
win free Pizza Hut pizza for life.* The question will be posed online
Tuesday, Oct. 16, the
same day as the Presidential debate. The Pizza Party will then randomly
choose
one voter and reward them with free pizza for life. “The anticipation and buzz around
this
question proves
that this debate should be taken to the people,” said Kurt Kane, Pizza
Hut CMO.
“We’re no longer asking a few hundred attendees at the town hall
presidential
debate on Oct. 16 to pose the question, rather we’re bringing the
question –
Sausage or Pepperoni? – to millions of Americans.” Consumers can let their voices be
heard
by signing up to
join The Pizza Party at PizzaHut.com/PizzaParty. Visitors receive free
Stuffed
Pizza Rollers with their next online order just for joining the debate.* *Complete sweepstakes details and
information about the
toppings debate will be available on Oct. 16 at PizzaHut.com/PizzaParty. About

CAST YOUR “VOTE” FOR THE GREATEST PARTY
EVER – THE PIZZA
PARTY! PIZZA HUT ENTERS ELECTION WITH CANDIDATE THAT HAS IT ALL The Pizza Party and candidate the Big Dinner Box
offering
free Stuffed Pizza Rollers and more to all members that join the
movement at PizzaHut.com/PizzaParty DALLAS (Oct. 1,
2012) – The term “Party” is defined as “a
social gathering of invited guests, typically involving eating,
drinking and entertainment.” Pizza Hut
couldn’t agree more. So while other Parties
this time of year are talking about policies and deficits, Pizza Hut
today, the
first day of National Pizza Month, formally announced the banding
together of
“The Pizza Party,” the only Party that promises to be all about “fun.” To kick things off, The Pizza Party is offering all fans that enroll as members of The Pizza Party at PizzaHut.com/PizzaParty a free order of stuffed pizza rollers with their next online order. This might be the first time a Party has offered its supporters something for free just for showing them a little love. Then, through the election on Nov. 6, The Pizza Party will offer its delegates other firsts, other freebies and plenty of “fun” as the Party that’s definitely for the People.
“We recognize
that The Pizza Party has been celebrated
inside households around the country for years, so we felt an
obligation as the
pizza company that promises to make it great to make it official,” said
Kurt
Kane, CMO, Pizza Hut. And no party is
complete without a candidate, and The
Pizza Party has the perfect one. One full of choices, one built on
value and
one that encompasses all that turns a good Party into a Great Party –
the Pizza
Hut Big Dinner Box. “The Big Dinner
Box represents the greatest tasting
economic stimulus package in American history,” said Kane. “This
candidate
truly has it all. Two pan pizzas, breadsticks and a choice of one of
three
incredible sides for only $19.99. No other candidate can offer that
kind of
value.” With Election
Day five weeks away, it’s no wonder the Big
Dinner Box is centering its campaign on the most important issue facing
America
today: the economy. The Pizza Party has taken a closer look at this
epic value
and determined that consumers save $6 when purchasing the Big Dinner
Box over
buying these items separately. If everyone in America purchases a Big
Dinner
Box by Election Day, that’s a total savings of $1.8 billion*. The Pizza Party Promise For as long as
America has enjoyed pizza, The Pizza Party
has worked to bring friends and family together to celebrate great
times. And
never has a candidate shown the ability and determination to answer
that call
more than Big Dinner Box. With the help of Pizza Hut and The Pizza
Party, the
Big Dinner Box pledges to visit more households now through Election
Day than
the other candidates combined. More than 3 million, in fact. When it comes
to running mates, when is the last time
America was called on to choose a Vice President? The answer is never,
but that
changes with The Pizza Party. For the first time ever, a VP candidate
will be
chosen by the people when The Pizza Party opens voting at
PizzaHut.com/PizzaParty Oct. 8, just before the VP debate on Oct. 11. In a spirited
scene this morning at Pizza Hut
headquarters in Plano, Texas, delegates of The Pizza Party gathered by
the
hundreds to take part in the first-ever Pizza Party Convention.
Comedian and
Big Dinner Box campaign manager Scott Morehead took the stage to
announce the
formalization of The Pizza Party and introduce Big Dinner Box as the
candidate
to make it great for America. More
information about The Pizza Party and Big Dinner Box
can be found on the Pizza Hut official Twitter and Facebook pages, as
well as
at the online hub for the campaign, PizzaHut.com/PizzaParty. Editor’s Note: b-roll from The Pizza Party Convention will be available via satellite Oct. 1 from 4:15-4:30 EDT and Oct. 2 from 2-2:15 EDT at the coordinates below.
