This back-to-school season, Pizza Pizza is tapping into college themes like pizza, kegs and communal dining to inspire bonding and memory-making with the Pizza Pizza Dip Keg. This generously sized amount of creamy garlic dip can be won, along with a pizza party, by pledging allegiance to the "Pie Pie" Greek society—touted as "Canada's most inclusive Greek society." Rather than leaving people feeling out in the cold, hazed or empty-handed after paying high frat fees, Pizza Pizza devised a better way for people to come together over a beloved comfort food and a staple in college culture.
Launched as part of Pizza Pizza's new Get Sauced campaign, the party-starting keg serves up a generous amount of creamy dip, offering students and pizza lovers an unforgettable way to start the fall semester.
