Following The Great American Takeout, an event to support local restaurant businesses during the pandemic, The Great American Pizza Party is a nationwide pizza party event that's encouraging people to extend support to their favorite local pizza restaurant. The April 17th event falls on a Friday, a day when many families, couples, friends and singles might ordinarily order themselves a pizza for a cozy night in.
The event is supported by restaurants like Marco's Pizza and Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza, and Rich Products is giving away a full-size arcade machine that's loaded with 60 games to one lucky pizza lover who participates in The Great American Pizza Party. After ordering pizza, people are encouraged to virtually share a slice of their pizza on social media with the event hashtags.
