There are 6 food groups: fruits, veggies, grains, proteins, and dairy.
One food that has the potential to cover all categories is the one, the only - pizza.
Since 1987, October has been designated as National Pizza Month in the United States, a very appropriate holiday for the typical college student. This falls right around midterms where pizza tends to be the go-to food for late night cramming.
It is also a $30 billion industry as 93% of Americans eat pizza once a month (or if you're like me its more like once a week).
I have 3 deals to share with you for the celebration month.
This first is my personal favorite, Dominos. Order at least two items from the "Mix & Match" promotion and pay $5.99 each. My go-to is the white pizza sauce with extra cheese and the parmesan bread bites. AMAZING.
Next on the list is Pizza Hut, whose deals are broken up by the week. From October 22-28, take 20% off your menu-priced pizzas with the code "20OFFPIZZAMONTH". Earlier in the month, they had 35% off menu-priced items, a free order of breadsticks with a menu-priced medium or large pizza, and a free dessert or side.
Lastly, Papa John's offers a jack-o'-lantern pizza for $11 through October 31st.
So if you find yourself stumped on what to have for dinner this month, technically speaking, pizza is the way to go since we're celebrating all month long.
