Pizza Hut Teams Up With Tom Brady for 'Pizza Before The Hut'

— January 7, 2026 — Lifestyle
Pizza Hut has teamed up with legendary quarterback Tom Brady to launch a fun new campaign called 'Pizza Before the Hut,' celebrating the return of one of its biggest pizzas. Pizza Hut is offering its 16-inch Big New Yorker pizza for only $10, making it easy for fans to feed a crowd without breaking the bank.

Tom Brady, who has famously yelled “hut” more times than almost any quarterback in history, is now bringing that signature word into his off-the-field role with Pizza Hut. As part of a new advertising campaign and nationwide promotion, Pizza Hut is challenging quarterbacks everywhere to say the word “pizza” right before “hut” during a live, nationally televised football game. If a quarterback pulls it off, their entire city wins.

Pizza Hut will throw a free Big New Yorker pizza party for that city during the postseason. The first college or professional quarterback to successfully sneak “pizza” into their play call immediately before “hut” on national TV unlocks the reward.
