Pizza Guys, a delivery/carryout brand with more than 70 stores in three states, rewards customers for picking up their orders with its Pickup Perks program.

When customers pick up any order over $20 ($25 at select locations), they receive either a 2-liter bottle of soda or a container of ice cream for free. The Pickup Perks are instant, so customers don’t have to wait until the next time they place an order. They can receive their free item immediately when they pick up their food. Additionally, these perks are not a one-time thing and are continuous for all orders that meet the minimum purchase requirements.

“Customers are our top priority,” said Pizza Guys CEO and Founder Shahpour Nejad. “It’s more important now than ever to continue showing our customers that we appreciate them with perks they can enjoy instantly. Not only that, our customers are like family, so it’s always a wonderful feeling to see our customers when they walk through our doors to say hello.”

Pizza Guys was founded in 1984 and has offered franchising opportunities since 1994. The brand continued to thrive at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, remaining “very fluid and ahead of the curve,” according to QSR Magazine.

“Throughout the pandemic, delivery and takeout restaurants have shown that their business models are strong and resilient,” Nejad told QSR in June 2020. “Now more than ever, people need access to restaurants where they can get high-quality food without ever leaving their home, and Pizza Guys is the best in the industry in providing that experience. We are eager to partner with community oriented entrepreneurs seeking an exciting business opportunity with a rapidly expanding pizza chain.”
