Pizza lovers across the United States have a delicious reason to celebrate as National Pizza Day returns on February 9, 2026. This annual event, which always falls on February 9 according to the National Day Calendar, is a much-anticipated occasion for both die-hard pizza aficionados and casual fans looking for an excuse to indulge. But this year, the festivities are taking on a new flavor, with major pizza chains and convenience stores rolling out an impressive array of deals, freebies, and limited-time offers designed to entice customers through their doors—or at least to their apps and websites.
According to reporting from Woman’s World and local Connecticut outlets, the day after the Super Bowl is notorious for being a bit of a sluggish one, but National Pizza Day is offering a pick-me-up in the form of some of the best pizza promotions of the year. Whether you’re craving a classic New York slice, a heart-shaped pie for Valentine’s Day, or just a budget-friendly meal, there’s a deal out there for nearly every taste and wallet.
Let’s start with some of the biggest names in the pizza business. Pizza Hut, never one to miss a pizza party, is going all out this year. On February 9, anyone who joins the chain’s Hut Rewards program and makes a qualifying purchase of at least $7.99 through the app or website will receive a free large, one-topping pizza to redeem on their next app order. As the company boasts on its Instagram page, “No One OutPizzas the Hut.” But that’s not all—Pizza Hut is also bringing back its $10 Big New Yorker deal, which includes an extra large, foldable New York-style pizza available only on National Pizza Day. It’s a nod to the city that arguably started America’s pizza obsession, and a deal that’s hard to beat for fans of oversized slices.
Over at Domino’s, the deals are just as tempting. The chain is offering its Mix and Match Deal, so customers can pick any two or more menu items—medium pizzas, sides, desserts—for just $6.99 each. If you’re more of a wings fan, Domino’s Weeklong Carryout Deal nets you a one-topping pizza or an eight-piece order of wings for only $7.99 each. And for those feeding a crowd (or just feeling extra hungry), there’s a $19.99 combo: two medium one-topping pizzas and two orders of 16-piece bread bites. All these offers are available on February 9, making Domino’s a go-to for anyone looking to stretch their pizza dollar.
Not to be outdone, Papa John’s is celebrating the day with a New York-inspired twist of its own. On February 9, customers can snag an XL New York-style pizza for just $11.99—a deal that’s sure to please fans of the chain’s signature crust and sauce. Meanwhile, Little Caesars is serving up savings from February 9 through February 15. Customers can take $2 off orders of $12 or more with the code 2OFF12, and if you’re craving a Detroit-Style Slices-N-Stix, you can get 20% off a large classic pizza by using the code SAVEWITHSTIX. It’s a double helping of deals that extends the celebration well beyond just one day.
California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) is also joining the festivities with a romantic twist. Beginning on National Pizza Day and running through February 15, CPK is offering its "Sweet Deal for Two." For $40, diners can enjoy one starter, two entrées—including their signature heart-shaped pizza—and one dessert from a prefixed menu. According to Woman’s World, this offer is perfect for those looking to combine National Pizza Day with an early Valentine’s celebration. Interestingly, local Connecticut sources list a similar deal at $60, so it’s worth checking your local CPK for pricing details.
Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza and Wings is keeping things simple but satisfying. On February 9 only, customers can pick up a 12-inch cheese pizza for just $9.99. It’s a one-day-only offer that’s sure to draw crowds to the chain’s locations. And for families looking to pair pizza with entertainment, Chuck E. Cheese has a special running from February 9 through February 12: get a large one-topping pizza for just $5 when you purchase games. It’s a sweet deal for parents hoping to keep kids happy during the winter doldrums.
Convenience stores are also getting in on the action. 7-Eleven, for example, is offering multiple promotions for its 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards members. On February 9, buy one whole pizza and get another for just $3 at participating locations. There’s also a $5 meal deal available, which includes two pizza slices and a 20-ounce drink—perfect for a quick lunch or an after-work treat. As noted by both Woman’s World and local Connecticut coverage, these deals are part of a growing trend of convenience stores stepping up their food game, especially when it comes to pizza.
So, what’s driving all these deals? For one, National Pizza Day has become a bona fide food holiday, with chains vying for customer attention in a crowded marketplace. The timing—right after the Super Bowl and just before Valentine’s Day—means people are already thinking about food, family, and fun. Pizza, with its universal appeal and endless customization options, is the ideal centerpiece for gatherings big and small. And with so many Americans tightening their belts, these promotions offer a welcome opportunity to enjoy a favorite comfort food without breaking the bank.
For pizza fans, the only real challenge is deciding which deal to choose. Do you go for the nostalgia of Pizza Hut’s Big New Yorker, the flexibility of Domino’s Mix and Match, or the romance of CPK’s heart-shaped pizza? Maybe you’re tempted by the convenience of 7-Eleven’s quick slice, or the family-friendly fun at Chuck E. Cheese. Whatever your preference, there’s never been a better time to indulge.
As National Pizza Day continues to grow in popularity, it’s clear that the love affair between Americans and pizza is as strong as ever. Whether you’re celebrating with friends, family, or just treating yourself, today’s the day to raise a slice—and maybe score a sweet deal in the process.
