Lou Malnati’s Is Giving Away 2,000 Free Pizza Slices

The Ultimate Road Trip Motivation: Free Pizza is Always Worth the Drive

I can’t quite tell you just how many different restaurants I’ve had pizza from over the years or the distance I’ve traveled in order to get a slice, but I can for sure say pizza is always good and even better when it’s free.

That’s why when I saw that Lou Malnati’s is giving away free slices of pizza this week, I thought, despite the drive time, it’s probably still worth it.
