Roughly 12,000 people are born in the U.S. each Leap Day, that rare February 29th that only shows up every four years when the calendar decides to play catch-up.
If you’re one of those rare folks, you’re familiar with how unusual birthdays can feel.
Would a complimentary pizza make the day a bit brighter?
We’d wager it probably would.
How to Score a Free Pizza Today
“Born on Leap Day? We got you,” Pizza Hut declares on Facebook.
Bring a government-issued ID to Pizza Hut on Monday, February 29, and you’ll receive a free Personal Pan Pizza.
They say they want “to make up for all the missed birthdays,” which is a fair sentiment — someone with a birthday only every four years surely hasn’t enjoyed the awkwardness of a Pizza Hut cake moment, where grown-ups tend to congregate awkwardly by the salad bar.
Other Leap Day Birthday Perks
After you finish your pizza, keep that ID handy and swing by Olive Garden for a sweet finish.
The restaurant chain is offering leap-day babies four complimentary Dolcini desserts.
The Olive Garden coupon on Facebook doesn’t clearly state whether a purchase is required to redeem the free dessert, but seriously — can anyone really resist endless salad and breadsticks?
The offer runs through March 6, so if you’re tied up celebrating today, you’ve got the rest of the week to cash in on dessert.
And don’t forget to browse our roundup of 100 spots that provide birthday perks, including birthday freebies you can use year after year.
Might as well carry your driver’s license around all day and make the most of the chance to be carded.
