National Pizza Day is Wednesday and Domino's, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut and more have deals

Wednesday is a day to save some dough on one of the most popular foods.

Feb. 9 is National Pizza Day and businesses across the nation are celebrating with discounted pizza and other specials.

With the Super Bowl on Sunday, there will be more pizza deals this weekend and you’ll also be able to find heart-shaped pizza ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Until 2020, National Bagel Day also was held on Feb. 9, but the hole-y day moved to mid-January last year to avoid sharing the spotlight with pizza.

According to Google Maps data shared with USA TODAY, for the second year, Domino’s Pizza remains the top searched pizza spot in the U.S.

Little Caesars Pizza Day news, Hot-N-Ready price increase

The large pizza – built on being ready and waiting with no preordering necessary for customers to zip in and grab – will now cost $5.55 nationwide.

Prices for the Hot-N-Ready have always varied by market and the $5.55 cost is a nationwide promotional cost, the chain said. After the rollout promotion, prices will again vary by market.
