From June 25, nationwide, pizza fans can get a free large pizza every Wednesday when you spend £15 exclusively via the Pizza Hut app.

The incredible offer is valid for delivery and collection orders placed through the app.

It excludes dine-in and aggregator platforms.

Jana Ulaite, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut UK &I, said: “We’re super excited to introduce Hut Wednesdays as the UK’s new midweek ritual by giving away free pizza.

“We invite you to live it large & bring good times to those midweek blues.

“Why wait for the weekend when you can live it large every Wednesday instead?”

Pizza Hut first arrived in the UK in 1973 and quickly became a favourite with diners.

At its height, the chain operated over 260 restaurants nationwide, employing 10,000 staff and welcoming three million customers each month.

Some of its most notable creations include the introduction of the pan pizza in 1980, the stuffed crust in 1995, and the re-launch of the pan pizza as the grand pan in 1998.

Pan pizzas are baked in a deep, oil-coated dish, giving the crust a deliciously crispy, golden edge and a lightly fried texture on the bottom.

Meanwhile a little-known pizza chain is quietly expanding – with four new locations set to open across the UK.

Pizza Pilgrims, founded in 2012 by brothers James and Thom Elliot, is fast approaching 29 sites nationwide.

Already well-established in King’s Cross, London, the company is now expanding to major cities including Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol.

The Birmingham branch will open in the busy Grand Central transport hub at New Street station.

Manchester’s new pizzeria will span two floors in Deansgate, featuring a Masterclass kitchen like the one in Canary Wharf.

Pizza Pilgrims reported record revenue of £34.4m for the year ending June 2024 – a 20 percent increase on the previous year’s £28.7 million.

It comes as Domino’s confirmed it had axed a handful of its popular pizzas from its UK menus.

The fast food giant has said customers will no longer be able to buy three of their vegan pizza options.

The Plant-Based American Hot, Plant-Based Peppy-roni and Plant-Based Chick’n Winner have been discontinued.

How to save money on your takeaway

TAKEAWAYS taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on your delivery:

Cashback websites– TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your takeaway through them. They’re paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you’ll get cashback on orders placed through them.
Discount codes – Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order.
Buy it from the shops – Okay, it might not taste exactly the same but you’ll save the most money by picking up your favourite dish from your local supermarket.
Student discounts – If you’re in full-time education or a member of the National Students Union then you may be able to get a discount of up to 15 per cent off the bill. It’s always worth asking before you place your order.
