Pizza Hut's $2 Tuesday deal is still happening: How to get it
Pizza Hut started a deal for $2 1-topping Personal Pan Pizzas on July 8 and initially planned to offer it only through July. But it's been so popular, Pizza Hut has extended it into August.
"The response has been nothing short of incredible and we are even selling out of Personal Pan Pizzas at thousands of restaurants across the country," Melissa Friebe, chief marketing officer of Pizza Hut U.S., said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY.
USA TODAY has reached out to Pizza Hut, but there has been no word yet on an end date. We do know the deal is happening as of Tuesday, Aug. 12, because the pizza chain posted on its social media pages on Monday, Aug. 11.
On X, the brand posted: "The last 2 dollars in my wallet are getting a lil nervous knowing $2 Personal Pan Pizza Tuesday is just hours away." On Facebook, the brand's post reads, "Mondays hit different when you think of it as $2 Personal Pan Pizza Eve."
The last 2 dollars in my wallet are getting a lil nervous knowing $2 Personal Pan Pizza Tuesday is just hours away.
How to get Pizza Hut's $2 Personal Pan Pizza deal
The deal is good for carryout only – no other purchase necessary – limit of up to four per customer; order in-store or in the Pizza Hut app at participating locations. Extra cheese or additional toppings cost extra.
While the offer is available at Pizza Hut locations nationwide, check to make sure your Pizza Hut location is among those participating.
Also, the offer is only good while supplies last at the restaurant; on the July 8 launch date, more than 3,100 Pizza Hut restaurants sold out, the company told USA TODAY.
The deal has spurred a sort of phenomenon this summer with long lines, wait times and of course, hilarious social media reactions.

Does Olive Garden offer 25-cent wine samples? Yes, the rumors are true
What's better than free breadsticks? Breadsticks with free (or heavily discounted) wine, of course. Over the past week, rumors have circulated online that Olive Garden offers 25-cent wine samples to guests ages 21 and older. Some content creators have shared their experiences at their local Olive Garden locations, but understandably, some are skeptical. "I haven't been inside of Olive Garden for years because I don't like the quality of their food, but okay, Olive Garden did something with this 25-cent wine tasting. I was able to taste all the wine I was interested in," a content creator who goes by Kay's KK said in a recent TikTok video. In her video, she shows that she tried six wine samples for a total of about $1.60. So what's the deal – does Olive Garden offer wine for just a quarter? Does Olive Garden offer 25-cent wine samples? It's complicated. Olive Garden does offer complimentary 1-ounce samples of wine to guests 21 and up with their meal. In some states, this sample is free. But in other states, where free alcohol samples are not permitted, these start at 25 cents, Jaime Bunker, Olive Garden senior vice president of marketing, told USA TODAY. The samples aren't a full glass, though. In comparison to the 1-ounce sample, a traditional glass of wine is 5 ounces, according to New York-based wine retailer Millesima. How many 25-cent wine samples is one guest limited to? Guests are welcome to a "few" wine samples with their meal, Bunker said. She did not specify the exact number of samples a guest is limited to.

California's burger wars heat up as Habit Burger & Grill trolls In-N-Out with new billboard
Habit Burger & Grill has doubled down on its provocative marketing strategy, updating its billboard trolling of burger giant In-N-Out for a second consecutive year after once again beating the chain in a national ranking. Habit has updated its existing billboard near Los Angeles International Airport, directly across from an In-N-Out location on Sepulveda Boulevard, to reflect its rival's drop to fourth place in USA Today's 10 Best fast-food burger rankings. The same sign from last year has been recycled, with the '#2' crossed out in red and replaced with '#4.' The company — which took first place for the best fast-food burger (the Double Char) — also earned top rankings from USA Today for best fast casual restaurant and best fast-food side dish for its tempura green beans. 'We congratulated In-N-Out on being #2 last year with a billboard,' Jack Hinchliffe, chief marketing officer at Habit, said in a press release. 'This year, we were going to send a gift but couldn't afford the postage to Tennessee, so we saved a few bucks and reused the same billboard. We just had to swap out the 2 for a 4.' The Tennessee reference is a pointed jab at In-N-Out's eastward expansion. In January 2023, the company announced plans to establish an Eastern territory office in Franklin, Tenn., by 2026. Last month, billionaire owner and Chief Executive Lynsi Snyder announced on a conservative podcast that she is personally leaving California for Tennessee. 'There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here,' Snyder said during her appearance on a conservative podcast. She specifically cited COVID-19 pandemic-era restrictions as particularly challenging for business operations. Snyder's departure represents a seismic shift for the leader of a brand that has been a pillar of California fast-food culture for more than 75 years. The move places In-N-Out among a growing list of major companies relocating from California, including electric car maker Tesla, financial services firm Charles Schwab, and oil giant Chevron, all citing regulatory challenges, operational costs and policy disagreements. The timing of Habit's latest marketing gambit coincides with In-N-Out's continued decline in the annual USA Today rankings. In-N-Out ranked sixth in 2023, second in 2024, and fourth this year. USA Today's 10 Best contests rely on expert panels to select nominees, followed by public voting to determine winners. While not scientific, the rankings have gained attention among consumers. The billboard campaign represents an asymmetric marketing battle between two companies of vastly different sizes. In-N-Out operates more than 400 locations across eight states, while Habit has more than 385 restaurants across 14 states and international markets since opening its first location in Santa Barbara in 1969. 'We were born in Santa Barbara in 1969, remain proudly Californian and we're not going anywhere,' Hinchliffe said. Both chains maintain their headquarters in Irvine, located about seven miles apart, though In-N-Out plans to consolidate its California operations in Baldwin Park, where Harry Snyder, Lynsi Snyder's grandfather, co-founded the company in 1948. The In-N-Out billboard is part of a broader campaign by Habit targeting multiple competitors. The company has deployed mobile billboards to locations near other chains that made the USA Today rankings, including Chipotle, Five Guys, Shake Shack and Panera Bread, offering congratulatory messages on their lower rankings. In-N-Out did not respond to a request for comment.
