ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza
(NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza
delivery, is giving college basketball fans a special deal as
they cheer on their favorite teams the first week of the month-long
tournament games. Domino's is offering 50 percent off all
menu-priced pizza orders placed online for an entire week,
beginning today and running through Sunday,
March 23.
"We're looking forward to letting our customers enjoy any
combination of pizza at half off as they cheer on their teams,"
said Chris Brandon, Domino's Pizza
spokesperson. "With the convenience of our digital ordering
channels, no one will have to miss a second of the games when they
order online."
College basketball's tournament month is a busy time for
Domino's, especially near the end of it. Domino's sold more than
1.7 million pizzas during the 2013 semi-finals and championship
game nights combined – enough to give 21 pizzas to each person
walking into the stadium at the final games in Dallas, Texas this year.
"While teams across the U.S. vie for a spot at the table in the
college basketball finals, Domino's team members are preparing for
their own big pizza delivery days," Brandon said. "Team members
across the country are putting on their game faces and gearing up
for basketball watching parties."
The 50 percent off deal is only available on menu-priced pizzas
ordered through Domino's digital ordering channels which include
Domino's website (www.dominos.com), Domino's mobile website and the
iPhone®, Android™, Windows Phone 8 and Kindle
Fire® apps.
