Frugal Family: Pizza and March Madness

For this week’s Frugal Family, Broadneck Patch focuses on “March Madness," one of the most popular times for sports fans to forget about the kitchen and order pizza so nothing will be missed.

Domino’s Pizza is the official pizza partner with the NCAA Basketball Championship. Their new Domino's Pizza Bracket features each pizza "competitor" seeded based on popularity, and placed in the region appropriate to its toppings. As fans vote, certain pizzas will advance, eventually leading to the crowning of the champion pizza, coinciding with the week of the NCAA Men's Final Four®. The bracket is available for viewing today and voting will begin tomorrow. For more information, go to www.dominos.com.

Now, here are some specials from local pizza businesses to keep handy when the battles begin later this week.

Domino’s - "New" Deal - Pick any two or more for $5.99 each: a medium two-topping pizza; new eight-piece boneless chicken or new eight-piece wings.

Pizza Hut – Big Mondays – Two medium pizzas, up to three toppings, $6 each when you buy two.

Pizza Bolis – March Munchies – One large, two topping pizza, $9.99.

Papa John’s – Bundled Pizza Special - One large, two-topping pizza, chicken strips or wings and two 20 oz. beverages for $19.75.

So, pick up the phone and call for dinner, then kick back, and grab the remote control. Game's on!
