The Phoenix fast-casual pizza chain Fired Pie is introducing itself to Tucson on Dec. 3 with a tasty proposition: free food.
Between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Dec. 3 you can get a free pizza or salad for dine-in only.
Fired Pie, 350 E. Congress St., has no strings attached but it does have a favor to ask: When you come in bring along a jar of peanut butter, canned foods, cereals or packaged snacks to be donated to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.
Fired Pie follows the fast-casual pizza formula: You choose your crust, sauce, cheese and toppings and they put it together assembly line like β think sandwich shop model β and pop in a super hot oven for 90 seconds or so.
The company, which opened its first restaurant in Phoenix in summer 2013, has nine locations in all. This is their first outside of Phoenix.
It is the latest entrant to Tucson's fast-growing fast-casual pizza market. Homegrown Pionic Pizza opened at 2643 N. Campbell Ave., a day after California-based Pizza Studio opened in the student housing complex at 1031 N. Park Ave.
California-based Pieology opened in late September around the corner from Pizza Studio at 914 E. Speedway.
