Ordering Pizza For Football Season? These Are The 7 Best Deals From Chains

With September well underway, the high school, college, and professional football seasons have begun, and everybody knows you can't watch football without some tasty eats. While you can hit up the concession stands while attending high school football games, most of us watch college and NFL football from our own living rooms, so we're responsible for our own catering needs. That said, nothing suits a three-hour-long marathon of watching men tossing the pigskin around the way pizza does. National and regional pie chains recognize this, and they have rolled out deals accordingly.

Somewhere along the line, takeout pizza has gone from a cheap, quick meal to an expensive near-luxury, and it's not just the high-end, fancy pizzerias whose prices have gone up (even the budget warehouse chain Costco came under fire recently for an $18 pizza). However, these seven chains are hoping to score and alleviate your wallet's pain and provide good eats on game day.

Papa Murphy's does things a little differently. The chain, based out of the Pacific Northwest in Vancouver, Washington, assembles your pizza to order, but then hands it over to you to bake at home. With that in mind, the chain is currently offering a $19.99 Game Day Meal Deal where you can get a large pepperoni pizza (regular or thin), Five-Cheese bread, and a Cinnamon Wheel for dessert (and if you keep an eye out on their social media, you might be able to score game-day coupon codes, too).

It would be really weird if the national pizza chain that playfully changed its name to align with football season and recruited Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen for its TV ads didn't actually offer any related deals, right? Well, lucky for you, Pizza Hut — or the newly rebranded Hut Hut — has a terrific promo going, called the Triple Treat Box Gameday Edition. You'll get two BYO (build-your-own) medium one-topping pizzas, an order of breadsticks, and your choice of dessert (either cinnamon sticks, an ultimate chocolate chip cookie, or Cinnabon Mini Rolls).

Super Bowl-winning QB Peyton Manning once actually owned over 30 Papa John's restaurants in the Denver region, and the strong pizza-football connection remains to this day. For example, Papa John's is currently running a Game Day Bundle deal, where customers can order two or more large two-topping pies and get them for the low price of just $9.99 each (depending on your location). The best part is, you don't have to stop at just two; you can add on as many pizzas as you want or need, and still get them for the same price.

Naturally, the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL for its fifth season in a row is running a solid deal on its pies. If you haven't caught them yet, football stars Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, and Jared Goff have appeared in ads harkening back to the return of the Pizza! Pizza! promo, which started on September 13 and will run through October 11. By ordering online, customers can use the code PIZZAPIZZA to get two large one-topping pizzas at just $4.99 a piece.

Though not a pizza chain, per se, Price Chopper Supermarkets nonetheless operates a robust pizza business within its grocery store confines, and customers in its New England-based territory can carry out hot, freshly baked pies — or cold ones that they can cook at home. Even better, as part of its Tailgate Club program, you can benefit from Price Chopper's game day bundle, which includes two corner-to-corner pizzas and two pounds of wings, all for $34.99 (a $5 savings).

Though it also serves its customers by fueling up their cars at its gas pumps, Midwestern chain Casey's is actually the fifth-largest pizza chain in the U.S., and customers find its pies to be top-notch. The pizza that has put Casey's on the map is actually a breakfast version, and so the chain has touted itself as the "Official Pizza of Noon Kickoffs," referencing college football; to that end, on Saturdays until January 2, 2027, fans can use the promo code TOUCHDOWN for 40% off any Casey's pizza.

As far as convenience stores go, 7-Eleven is a beloved and iconic institution on the American landscape, known for its Slurpees and roller grill hot dogs (and surprisingly decent sushi, to boot). With football back on TV screens nationwide, 7-Eleven is offering a cheapie meal deal to its 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards members: A slice of pizza and a bottled 20-ounce soda for $4, perfect for solo football viewing (whether you stop by during pre-game or half-time). Those same 7Rewards members can also nab an eight-piece order of wings for $3 with the purchase of any whole pizza.
