Zizzi is giving away “free” pizza to all those born on February 29 to celebrate the leap year.
Customers can choose from the Rustica pizzas on the menu including the Rustica Piccante, the Rustica Meat Sofia and the Rustica Margherita. However, they will need to spend £10 first before getting their free pizza.
This could be £10 spent as part of a larger group, or if you were to buy drinks and a starter. You will need to show your ID including your date of birthday. The offer is only available on February 29. It can't be used if you're ordering takeaway through Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber Eats, or if you're placing a click and collect order.
Katy Lomax, Chief Marketing Officer at Zizzi restaurants said: “At Zizzi we always want to give back to our customers, especially those who only get to celebrate their official birthday every four years. We are looking forward to welcoming ‘leaplings’ at any restaurant nationwide to celebrate good times and enjoy good food.”
Zizzi was founded in 1999 and currently has 135 restaurants across the UK. It is part of the Azzurri Group, which also owns ASK Italian, Coco di Mama and other national brands. Azzurri Group recently revealed pre-tax losses of £16.4million for the year leading up to July 2, 2023 - over triple the £4.2million losses from the prior year. But despite this, the group also reported a 9% surge in total turnover, hitting £257.8million.
