DETROIT -- Little Caesars says it will give free pizza to military veterans and active duty military members as part of a Veterans Day celebration. According to a press release from the company, eligible veterans and military members can receive a free four-slice deep-dish pizza and a 20-ounce bottle of pop for free as part of the giveaway.

The giveaway takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Veterans Day, Monday Nov. 11. No coupon is required for the free food, but you must present proof of service with either an ID featuring veteran designation, an active military ID of a DD-214 form. The giveaway is valid at participating locations across the U.S.

“Little Caesars is thankful to all of our veterans and members of the military who do so much to take care of us,” said Little Caesars President and CEO, David Scrivano. “This is a small token of our appreciation for the time they’ve served on our behalf. We hope they will enjoy lunch on us and know that we are truly honored to serve them.”

The promotion coincides with the 13th anniversary of the company’s Little Caesars Veterans Program which helps honorably discharged veterans open Little Caesars franchise’s through significant discounts and credits. The program is designed to give military members a business to step into as they transition into civilian life.

“As an organization we believe that our veterans, the men and women who have given so much to serve our country, should return home with business prospects to help them achieve their hopes and dreams,” said Jeff Klein, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing for Little Caesars. “So, we created a program to honor veterans and provide them with an opportunity to become business owners.”

More than 350 restaurants have been opened by vets since the program launched in 1996.
