Pizza Inn Celebrates America’s 250th by Honoring U.S Armed Forces with Collectible Glasses

America’s Hometown Pizza Buffet introduces All-American Glasses in partnership with Folds of Honor and Pepsi beginning June 29

Pizza Inn is inviting families to commemorate the nation’s history with its limited-time collectible series of All-American Glasses. In partnership with Pepsi and Folds of Honor, the campaign recognizes the service and sacrifices of American military members and helps support educational scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders.

Now through Sept. 6, guests who purchase an adult buffet can add a commemorative All-American glass for just $1.76 plus tax. Purchases benefit Folds of Honor, supporting scholarship opportunities for K-12, higher education, and trade schools. A new limited-edition glass honoring each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces will be released every two weeks throughout the promotion.

Collectible glass schedule:

  • June 29-July 12: U.S. Army
  • July 13-July 26: U.S. Navy
  • July 27-Aug. 9: U.S. Air Force
  • Aug. 10-Aug. 23: U.S. Marines

“This campaign gives Pizza Inn a meaningful way to celebrate America’s 250th with the communities we serve,” said Brandon Solano, CEO of RAVE Restaurant Group. “From the collectible glass series to the special-edition pizza box and media campaign across 80 markets, 250 Years of Honor brings that local connection to life and allows guests to give back alongside us. We’re proud to partner with Pepsi and Folds of Honor on a program that not only honors military families, but also supports them.”

“Pizza Inn’s $25,000 commitment this year is more than a donation; it’s an investment in the families of America’s military service members and first responders,” said Col. Nick Nicholas, president of Folds of Honor. “Together, we’re honoring their sacrifice through life-changing scholarships and reminding those who have given so much for our freedom that they are not forgotten. We’re incredibly grateful for their partnership and shared values.”

Since its inception in 1958, Pizza Inn has served American communities made-from-scratch, delicious pizza with friendly faces. America’s Hometown Pizza Buffet offers an expansive menu featuring high-quality ingredients ranging from traditional pasta to an all-you-can-eat salad bar and an array of unique desserts.

The 250 Years of Honor collectible glasses are only available for in-store purchase. To find the nearest Pizza Inn restaurant or explore the full menu, visit PizzaInn.com. Guests can also order carryout or delivery online at order.pizzainn.com.

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 Ranch. 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 PEEPS(R) Pizzert®.
