Well Pizza Hut does have the personal pan pizza again; my autistic, pizza fixated, younger self read *so many books* for pizza back in elementary school and I would easily do it again in a heartbeat.
I was wondering the Same thing. I do enjoying reading but I also like multi-tasking. So I listen and quilt at the same time. I’ve bought over 300 books from audible over the years. And now get some from my library and Hoopla. So many wonderful books out there and so little time.
Personally I think it counts especially because it's the only way books are accessible to some folks. I wasn't certain how they meant this post though bc information is retained differently when it's read to you vs read by you.
Honestly genius. Let's incentivize people to read so they're not so dumb as to fall for the verbal diarrhea spewed by a painfully obvious conman. Seriously Blue, this is a winner of an idea that the Dems should sponsor.
Hear hear! Nothing motivates like the promise of pizza. 🍕 Just one caveat: keep those toppings strictly fruity. We don't need any culinary crimes against humanity happening in the name of literacy. Pineapple, however, is strictly prohibited. #PizzaForReaders #NoPineappleAllowed 🍍🚫
I am shocked that no hipster pizza place has set up a book-it program with a nearby bookstore (that I've heard of). Millennials like myself would go bananas for it.
My dad and I have had a dream of a bookstore that is filled with comfy chairs, craft beer and a coffee bar. If I ever achieve this dream, I'm SO doing a summer reading program.
Oh hell yeah. The one I see in my mind has a nice big fireplace, soft relaxing instrumental music, and it would probably be open from like... noon to 2am.
There is a bookstore by my work that is very close to this. It has a coffee shop attached to it and also a wine bar in the back of the bookstore. It’s great!
Back in the dark ages, when I was in college, DC's Poetry and Prose was a bookshop with a little coffee shop in the back. I remember going there late one night with a date and having coffee ice cream with Kahlua on it.
I would literally never have to buy food again, and I would also die of coronary artery disease, metabolic disease, and morbid obesity....ya know what....considering the state of affairs and what is about to happen....bring it.
One of my childhood traumas is that I was a vociferous reader very young and our local Pizza Hut wouldn't let me have anymore free pizza after I had enough points for 5 the first week of summer, lol.
That would be life hack 101: how to eat for free and quietly read.
I used to think quietly reading by myself was a clear sign to not be bothered. Turns out, people think it is a cue that I want to talk to strangers. Read the room, people!
We need more literacy. Hell, I don't care if they link it to an accelerated reader program. I'll happily take a quiz on "How Music Works" or "Quadrivium" for a personal pan pizza.
Our Pizza Hutt just started selling personal pan pizzas again, so a couple of weeks ago, I bought myself one after finishing a book, just for the vibes. 💫
I used to homeschool my kids. Pizza Hut still does the pizza thing for reading, and they sent me a bunch of coupons for free pizza and I had to write dates on them. It was an honor system, but as far as I know they still do it.

Ahh... in my dreams.
You might as well have a pizza oven built in
The smell of pizza, beer & wood smoke
The gentle rustle of turning pages
Sigh
I'd prefer a drink over pizza.
How about getting more books instead…
I read lots of books but I just love pizza.
