If you are saving dough this February, you could score yourself a free pizza in Macclesfield town centre.

That's because a Macclesfield pizzeria is giving out free pizza for one day only.

Pizza Express, of 4 Market Place, is giving away free Margherita pizzas later this week.

The offer is applicable to Macclesfield diners wearing a black and white striped top, this Friday February 9.

The event is in celebration of National Pizza Day, and only applies for those wearing the appropriate clothing and for a Margherita pizza.

In a nod to the pizzeria brand's iconic striped attire, the national pizza chain is encouraging punters to "earn their stripes" by embracing its famous monochrome aesthetic. Those who show up sharing their love for the brand will be rewarded with their choice of a free classic, vegan or gluten-free Margherita pizza.

To claim their cheesy-goodness, customers simply need to arrive in their stripey top at any PizzaExpress, not just Macclesfield, but you'll need to be quick as there's just over 14,000 to claim before 4pm on Friday February 9 2024. Simply get there early, order a Margherita pizza, and the pizzeria team will do the rest.

Additionally, any PizzaExpress Club member who dines on Friday and earns a loyalty stamp will be entered into a prize draw to win a trip to Italy, retracing the brand's founder, Peter Boizot's, steps as he embarked on his journey to bring pizza to the UK.

Paula MacKenzie, CEO at PizzaExpress, said: "This National Pizza Day sees us pay homage to our incredible pizza chefs, through celebrating our iconic black and white stripes."

"Stripes have played a huge part in our identity, dating back to 1965, so don your stripes and celebrate National Pizza Day with the original Margherita pizza, for free!"

The shirt has to be black and white stripes throughout the whole garment, so unfortunately Macclesfield FC's 2021-22 away kit won't count!
