America’s hometown pizza buffet scores with crave-worthy flavors, spirited décor and chances to win big this fall
Pizza Inn has unlocked college football’s most coveted hotspot — Dr Pepper’s Fansville. For the first time since the campaign launched in 2018, the legendary town is stepping off the screen and into 80 Pizza Inn restaurants across SEC country.
Inside each restaurant, the legacy brand has transformed the experience for guests. From custom SEC-themed pizza boxes and crew uniforms to dining room flair, pennants, backdrops and weekly giveaways — every detail celebrates the spirit of college football. Fans across SEC territory can immerse themselves in the full Fansville takeover, culminating in the ultimate prize: an all-expenses-paid trip to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta this December.
Pizza Inn is amplifying the experience with the ultimate SEC Championship Sweepstakes. In partnership with Dr Pepper and the Southeastern Conference (SEC), guests can enter to win Dr Pepper swag, football-themed giveaways and the coveted Grand Prize.
“We are honored to partner with the SEC and Dr Pepper to bring Fansville to life in our restaurants,” said Brandon Solano, CEO of RAVE Restaurant Group. “With so many of our locations in the heart of SEC country, Pizza Inn has deep respect for the many traditions and fans who live them every day. We’re humbled to give our guests this one-of-a-kind experience and proud to celebrate college football with the communities we serve.”
If all the festivities weren’t enough, the beloved buffet brand is bringing back the Sweet & Spicy Pepp Rally Pizza — loaded with layers of both traditional and cup-and-crisp pepperoni over signature house-made crust and topped with 100% whole milk mozzarella. Its sweet and spicy sauce blends Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha Sauce with Mike’s Hot Honey, finished with an herb-spiced Magic Butter.
From now through Sept. 28, guests can snap selfies at themed photo walls, enjoy spirited décor and participate in weekly prize giveaways from Dr Pepper and Pizza Inn. One lucky winner will score the grand prize, the SEC Championship Sweepstakes package, including:
- Two tickets to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025
- Round-trip flights and airport transportation
- Two-night hotel stay
- Game-day Breakfast
- Exclusive access to the Dr Pepper Welcome Event and Pre-Game Party

About Pizza Inn
Since 1958, Pizza Inn’s popular pizza buffet and friendly service have solidified the brand as America’s Favorite Hometown Pizza Buffet. Unlike your typical buffet, Pizza Inn built a reputation for using house-shredded 100% whole milk mozzarella cheese, fresh ingredients and house-made signature sauce. This, combined with its small-town vibe, are the hallmarks of its restaurants that feature signature pan pizzas, Pizzerts, pasta dishes, salads and innovative creations that reflect today’s customer cravings. The brand continues to thrive with new menu innovations, including its popular NYXL Pizza and stuffed-crust Pizzert®.
