National Cheese Pizza Day 2026: Confirmed Deals + What to Expect

Mark your calendars, because National Cheese Pizza Day is coming up on Saturday, September 5th — and if you’re anything like my family, “just cheese” is still the pizza everyone agrees on. No topping negotiations, no picky eaters pulling off the olives, just melty, gooey cheese. It’s the easiest of easy weeknight (or weekend) meals.

We dug through restaurant sites, press releases, and deal trackers to sort out what’s actually confirmed for 2026 versus what’s just an educated guess based on past years. Here’s where things stand as of today.

Confirmed Deals for National Cheese Pizza Day 2026

• Little Caesars — Two large one-topping pizzas for $4.99 each (just $9.98 total) with promo code PIZZAPIZZA, online or in the app only. And, this isn’t a cheese-specific promo — it’s part of Little Caesars’ NFL season kickoff running August 17 through September 13 — but you can absolutely pick cheese as your topping to celebrate. (Limit one offer per person, per day, and it excludes Pretzel, Thin, Stuffed, and Stuffed Crazy Crust.)

Predicted Deals (Not Yet Confirmed)

These chains ran cheese pizza deals last year and in years past, so there’s a good chance they’ll do it again — but as of today, none of them have posted official 2026 pricing or codes.

• Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings — Look for a large 16-inch cheese pizza for around $10, dine-in only. Anthony’s has run this exact deal every year since at least 2023, so it’s a strong bet to return, but toppings would cost extra if you want to add any.
• Fazoli’s — Look for a whole cheese pizza plus 8 garlic breadsticks for around $9.99 with a promo code, good in-store and online. (Last year’s code was PIZZA25 and ran through Sept. 8.)
• Marco’s Pizza — Likely an XL Big Cheese Pizza deal (regularly $16.99+) for around $13.99 with a promo code at checkout.
• Peter Piper Pizza — Expect a discount on a large cheese pizza, but plan to order through the app — last year’s deal was app-exclusive.
• Round Table Pizza — Royal Rewards members should see a discounted personal cheese pizza with any purchase, likely running a few extra days beyond the 5th like it did last year.
• Casey’s General Store — Casey’s previously discounted large cheese pizzas with a promo code, so it’s a good bet to return.
• Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar — Boston’s has typically had a discount on their 8-inch Indy pizzas for the holiday.

Prices, codes, and participation can change or vary by location — always check the restaurant’s app or website the day of to confirm before you order.

Tips for Making the Most of It

• Check restaurant apps first. A lot of these deals — especially Peter Piper Pizza’s and Little Caesars’ — are app or online-only, so it pays to download ahead of time.
• Watch for multi-day windows. Some deals (like Round Table’s, Fazoli’s, and Little Caesars’) normally stretch well beyond September 5th, so you’re not locked into ordering on the exact day.
• Loyalty programs = extra savings. Several of these deals are tied to rewards accounts, and most are free to join. If you order pizza even occasionally, it’s worth signing up.
• Call ahead for dine-in deals. Since availability can vary by location, a quick phone call saves you from showing up expecting a discount that isn’t running at your local spot.
