The pizza place Pizza Hut wants you to enjoy a pizza that is delicious, warm, and nice. To participate, all you have to do is make a commitment to read a book in exchange.
It was reported on Tuesday that Pizza Hut would be reintroducing its Book It! initiative, which is now celebrating its 40th year. In addition, Pizza Hut stated that this year, it will be giving out one million personal pan pizzas throughout National Book Month, which is also known as the whole month of October.
The pizza restaurant said that the initiative had been running since 1984 and that it had been instrumental in igniting “a passion for reading in millions of children.” However, the program is now being made available to readers of all ages with a limited-time offer of a free Personal Pan Pizza. This offer is only available for a short time and requires a minimum purchase of $8.
In a statement that was supplied to Food & Wine, Carl Loredo, the president of Pizza Hut in the United States, expressed his immense pride in the accomplishments that the Book It! program has accomplished over the course of the previous four decades.
It has helped more than seventy million youngsters discover the wonder of books, which has contributed to the development of a passion of reading that will last a lifetime. At the same time as we are celebrating our 40th anniversary, we are thrilled to extend an invitation to readers of all ages to rediscover the pleasure of reading, one book (and pizza) at least.
In addition, Pizza Hut mentioned that although it is pleased to bring the program back year after year, it has also modified it to cater to the “modern educational needs.” It has provided digital reading logs and virtual classrooms in order to make it even simpler for schools and families to take part in the program.
Participation in the program is entirely free of charge. Parents and teachers are being encouraged by Pizza Hut to sign up for the bookit program on behalf of their pupils by visiting the website bookitservice.com.
Pizza Hut believes that it has distributed something in the order of 1.5 billion pizzas over the course of the past four decades. The company also mentions that in the past ten years alone, it has distributed more than 56 million Personal Pan Pizzas, which is “enough to stretch from coast to coast in the United States twice.”
In order to get their free Personal Pan Pizza (again, with a minimum purchase of $8), pizza lovers and readers alike may use the code “BOOKIT40” during the checkout process on the app or on the website between October 1 and October 30. You may also place an order for the Book It! Bundle, which consists of two big pizzas with a single topping combined with breadsticks, using either the mobile app or the website.
In order to support the Book It initiative, Pizza Hut will donate a share of the revenue from the sale of each bundle. Therefore, feel free to purchase more pizza.
