Pizza Hut is promoting a new ranch-adorned, “collectible pizza” signed by Eli Manning in time for this year’s Super Bowl.

The pizza company is teaming up with Hidden Valley Ranch and the two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Manning, for the new promotion. Consumers are asked to enter the contest to win the “unexpected collectible.” According to Pizza Hut, the pizza is a single “crave-worthy Pizza Hut pepperoni pizza, autographed by [Manning] using… the new Hidden Valley Ranch Easy Squeeze bottle and preserved in resin for eternity.” 

A press release from Pizza Hut added that the memorabilia will be authenticated by PSA—a third-party authentication company that grades trading cards and other memorabilia. It was not exactly clear what that process would involve.

One thing that was clear, however, is that Hidden Valley Ranch is relishing the opportunity to promote its new Easy Squeeze bottle. “Our new bottle design is a game-changer for ranch lovers, making it easier than ever to enjoy every drop of Hidden Valley Ranch without the mess,” said CC Ciafone, marketing director at Hidden Valley Ranch. “We’re thrilled to team up with two icons, Pizza Hut and Eli Manning, to create a one-of-a-kind ranch and pizza experience that combines great food, legendary talent, and our new Easy Squeeze bottle.”

Interested parties are encouraged to enter the contest online. Here is what is up for grabs: 

  • Grand Prize: One winner will receive the Hidden Valley Ranch Signature Pizza encased in resin, along with a year’s supply of Hidden Valley Ranch and a year’s worth of Pizza Hut pizza.
  • 10 Runners-Up: 10 runners-up will receive a year’s supply of Hidden Valley Ranch and a Pizza Hut pizza to “create their own signature moments.”

“Pizza Hut is always looking for innovative ways to bring excitement to the table, and partnering with Hidden Valley Ranch to celebrate their Easy Squeeze bottle is the perfect match,” said Melissa Friebe, chief marketing officer at Pizza Hut. “This experience brings this dynamic duo together in a fun and memorable way, celebrating the deep love fans have for both.”
