The NCAA March Madness basketball tournament is well underway and Pizza Hut is celebrating with the return of limited-edition Mini Basketballs.
This year, Pizza Hut is the "official pizza of March Madness," and its making sure fans know it with its latest promotion. For a limited time, Pizza Hut is selling Mini Basketballs with a bold black-and-red pattern and the phrase "No One Out Pizzas The Hut" spelled out in big letters. Each basketball goes for $7 and can be purchased through the Pizza Hut website, mobile app, or at participating Pizza Hut locations nationwide.
If the new promotion sounds a bit familiar, that's because it is. Pizza Hut originally offered the Mini Basketballs back in the 1990s.
