Finding the Best Pizza Deals in Canada

Who doesn't love getting a great deal on delicious pizza? In Canada, where the average household spends over $300 annually on pizza delivery and takeout, finding ways to save on your favorite food just makes sense. Whether you're feeding a hungry family, hosting friends for a game night, or simply treating yourself after a long day, this comprehensive guide will help you discover the best pizza deals across Canada.

The Best Days to Order Pizza

Did you know that certain days of the week typically offer better pizza deals than others? While specials vary by restaurant, there are some patterns you can count on:

At Freshslice, we offer different daily specials throughout the week. Our most popular deal days are Monday (2 Medium 2-Topping Pizzas for $19.99) and Wednesday (50% off any second pizza).

Online Ordering Advantages

One of the easiest ways to find great pizza deals is to order online. Most pizza chains, including Freshslice, offer exclusive online-only discounts that you won't find when ordering by phone or in-store.

Benefits of ordering pizza online include:

• Exclusive promo codes that can save you 10-25% off your order
• Digital coupons that are easily accessible and don't require printing
• Special online bundles combining pizzas, sides, and drinks at discounted prices
• First-time customer discounts when you create a new account
• Order customization without the pressure of holding up a line or phone call

Mobile apps often provide additional savings through app-exclusive deals and easier access to loyalty programs. The Freshslice app, for instance, offers a $5 credit when you download and create an account.

Loyalty Programs: The Smart Way to Save

If you're a regular pizza enthusiast, joining loyalty programs is one of the smartest ways to save money over time. Most major pizza chains in Canada have some form of rewards system.

The Freshslice Rewards program works on a points-based system:

• Earn 1 point for every dollar spent
• Reach 100 points to receive a free medium 2-topping pizza
• Birthday rewards include a free dessert with any purchase
• Exclusive member-only offers sent directly to your email or app

Other Canadian pizza chains offer similar programs with varying benefits, but most operate on either a points system or a "buy X get 1 free" model.

"Loyalty programs aren't just good for customers—they help us build relationships with the people who enjoy our pizza regularly. It's our way of saying thank you." - Jessica Martinez, Marketing Manager

Combo Deals: More Bang for Your Buck

Combo deals often provide the best overall value, especially when feeding groups. These typically combine pizzas with sides, desserts, and drinks at a price lower than ordering items individually.

Popular combo deals at Freshslice include:

• Family Feast ($34.99): Large 3-topping pizza, medium 1-topping pizza, garlic bread, wings, and 2L soda
• Couple's Combo ($24.99): Medium 3-topping pizza, appetizer, and two drinks
• Lunch Special ($7.99): Two slices and a drink, available Monday-Friday from 11am-3pm

When evaluating combo deals, consider what you would actually order anyway. Sometimes a seemingly great deal includes items you wouldn't normally purchase.

Social Media Offers and Flash Deals

Following your favorite pizza places on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter can give you access to limited-time offers that aren't advertised elsewhere.

Pizza chains frequently post:

• Flash sales lasting 24 hours or less
• Contest giveaways for free or discounted pizza
• Special holiday offers
• Exclusive promo codes for followers

At Freshslice, we run "Flash Friday" deals announced exclusively on our social media channels every Friday morning. These deals typically offer 30-40% off specific menu items or combinations, but they're only valid that day.

Email Subscriptions: Deals Delivered to Your Inbox

While some people avoid signing up for email lists to keep their inbox clear, pizza lovers should make an exception. Email subscribers often receive:

• Welcome offers with significant discounts (often 20-30% off your first order)
• Birthday rewards
• Advance notice of upcoming promotions
• Subscriber-exclusive coupons
• Flash sale announcements

Most pizza chains, including Freshslice, send promotional emails no more than once or twice a week, so your inbox won't be overwhelmed. The savings, however, can be substantial over time.

Student and Military Discounts

If you're a student or military member, many Canadian pizza restaurants offer special discounts just for you. These aren't always advertised prominently, so it's worth asking about them.

Typical discounts include:

• Student discounts: 10-15% off with valid student ID (perfect for those late-night study sessions)
• Military discounts: 10-20% off for active duty and veterans with appropriate identification

At Freshslice, we offer a 15% discount to students and military personnel on regular-priced menu items (cannot be combined with other offers).

Group and Large Order Discounts

Planning to feed a large group? Many pizza places offer special pricing for bulk orders. These are perfect for:

• Office lunch meetings
• Sports team celebrations
• School events
• Birthday parties
• Family reunions

Freshslice offers a 20% discount on orders of 8 or more large pizzas when ordered at least 24 hours in advance. We also provide special catering packages that include pizzas, sides, and drinks at bulk rates.

For office orders, we offer a recurring order program with progressive discounts—the more regularly you order, the more you save.

Seasonal and Holiday Promotions

Throughout the year, pizza restaurants offer special seasonal promotions tied to holidays and events. Some of the best times to look for pizza deals include:

• Major sporting events: Super Bowl, Stanley Cup playoffs, NBA finals
• Holidays: New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Halloween
• Back-to-school season: Late August and early September
• Pizza Month: October is National Pizza Month in North America

These seasonal promotions often include themed pizzas along with special pricing. At Freshslice, our biggest annual promotion happens during Hockey Playoff Season, with our "Score and Save" deal offering increasing discounts based on how many goals Canadian teams score.

Price Matching and Competitor Coupons

Some pizza chains will match competitors' prices or accept their coupons. This isn't a universal policy, but it's always worth asking, especially at locally owned pizzerias that have more flexibility in their pricing.

While Freshslice doesn't have a formal price-matching policy, our local franchise owners are often willing to work with customers to beat or match a competitor's offer, particularly for regular customers or large orders.

Budget-Friendly Pizza Options

Beyond specific deals and promotions, you can save money on pizza by choosing budget-friendly menu options:

• Pizza by the slice: Perfect for individuals or small appetites
• Build your own: Choose fewer premium toppings to keep costs down
• Lunch specials: Often significantly discounted during daytime hours
• Pickup vs. delivery: Save on delivery fees and tips by picking up your order

At Freshslice, our pizza slices start at just $3.49, making them one of the most affordable quality pizza options in Canada. We also offer a "Create Your Own" pizza where you can choose exactly which toppings you want, allowing you to control both the flavor and the price.
