I recall pizza hut was like "glad you like books but you can't have any more pizzas unless your parents also buy a pizza" after not honoring very many pizza coupons
That was how it was like in Elementary school, the problem was most books sucked and books with only 4 pages counted. Books didn’t become good until I was more mature. My first grade self would have loved to read Jurassic Park instead of Sleeping sheep in the barn.
If every pizza box had a chapter of a story printed on the top and the only way to get the next chapter was to get another pizza, then a pizza company could sell a lot more pizzas.
We were poor-adjacent when I was in elementary school so Book-It was my ticket to free Pizza Hut. I "read" a ton of books that I knew my teacher couldn't verify. I'm not proud of it but it got me tons of pizza I otherwise wouldn't have received.
I just realised, this might work for me, I've been in a slump with getting through books, I'm usually on-top of it but currently staring down 7books ide like to get done
Back in my day we got smacked if we didn't read. (looking at you, Ms. R)
Speaking as a student who got beaned more than once, it was pretty f'ing hilarious.
My program was in the elementary school..it was like a combo school/ pizza hut collab.. lol and the hardest part was always convincing my parents to take me to pizza hut before the coupon expired😭🙏please please can we go?!
How many books have you re-read?
Pizza is great, we do Pizza night with all the family on Saturday nights, all from scratch in our pizza oven outside, we chat about everything, It is just fantastic
whoa that would be awesome, though i'd change it from books to games so every game i beat i'd get a free pizza so that it'd motivate me to game even harder heck yeah!!!!!
My New Westminster Public Library literally does that by holding a soirée even, meet and greet, get your medal night at end of their Summer Reading Club every year, for all the kids who took part and read oh about 10 books.
You must be my kids’ age! They were regulars at Pizza Hut with their certificates for free personal pan pizza. My oldest would have read as many as she did for no pizza, but my youngest needed the incentive.
I don't want Pizza Hut
I want free pizza from a guy named Vincenio Lorito, who can simultaneously toss dough, debate every season of the Mets or Yankees since 1966, has very strong opinion on boxing, and casually says hello to some rather well-dressed men who drop by for a slice.
I’ve long thought they are missing out on a huge opportunity to do this. Nostalgic millennials would be all over it, and it’s not like we’re not supplementing the order by buying other items.

Four slices of heaven for ten books of expanding your mind.
I can do that and then a pizza xD
The bookit program was sweet. U read so many books and they'd give u a free personal pan pizza! Gen z- older millennial
We were dodging erasers and cowering over phonics and yours got pizza.
Hope that pizza thing still works. 🤞

Pizza for books. Amazing idea.
They had some awesome prizes. I collected a whole fleet of alien spaceship erasers. They worked so well too 😭

Now go out there and make me proud! 🍕📚🤘😎🤘
Also, I just realized how weird it is that the word "read" is used for both the present and past tense. 🤯
decisions involving pizza or books, except that it reduces exponentially the amount of people willing to help you move.
Only I’ll take a maki roll for every 10 books read, please.
Win-win
yeah, that would help
I can't read now anyway, I can't get "Rube Goldberg Sex Machine" out of my brain's creative side and it's going nuts.
1 book 1 pizza
2 books 2 pizzas
3 books 3 pizzas
Etc

I earned 38 last year.
I could go for this system. i will have to aim for 520 books a year when it get implemented.
