Marco’s Pizza

There’s a lot to unpack from Marco’s Pizza during this holiday season. For one, they have two new permanent menu items that you wouldn’t want to miss. Also, the brand is offering gifts in the form of holiday deals. These, too, aren’t to be ignored if you’re looking for a premium pizza experience or a decadent feast. Let’s start off with the latest menu items from Marco’s Pizza:
- Breadsticks – Marco’s new breadsticks are dough-lectable on their own, but made even better with as side of the restaurant’s original pizza sauce for dipping. The breadsticks are baked to perfection, flavored with garlic sauce and a dash of Romesan seasoning.
- Chocolate CinnaSquares – Now, for dessert, you can try the leveled up version of CinnaSquares. Say hello to Chocolate CinnaSquares made with Ghirardelli. These fresh-baked little squares are sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, and then finished with Ghirardelli chocolate sauce. The Chocolate CinnaSquares are also served with vanilla icing on the side for a truly indulgent experience.

And if you think these new items are enough to make your holiday special, think again. Because Marco’s Pizza has a lot more surprises up their sleeves. The restaurant also launched a duo of holidays to celebrate the season of giving.
- December 23 to 26 – Fans of pepperoni pizza can get a FREE 2-liter Pepsi when they purchase the Triple Pepperoni Magnifico, worth $11.99. This pizza features three types of bold pepperoni for a satisfying pizza experience. To score the freebie, use the code FREEPEPSI upon purchase.
- December 16 to 29 – For only $20.25, you can enjoy the Countdown to 2025 Feast and treat yourself and your family to a decadent feast. The bundle includes freshly baked CheezyBread, a large one-topping pizza, and the Chocolate CinnaSquares made with Ghirardelli. Yup, this bundle is the perfect excuse to try that new chocolatey treat! 😉
According to the Chief Marketing Officer of Marco’s Franchising, LLC., Denise Lauer, the brand prioritizes quality above all else, and one way for them to show this is by improving their menu and add more variety for consumers.
TGI Fridays

Over at TGI Fridays, the winter season is about to get hot and savory. This is because the restaurant dropped two new items for its burger selection. Introducing: the new Reaper Burger and Texas BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. Both burgers are now available at participating locations for a limited time only.
- Reaper Burger – This spicy burger is built with 100% beef patty, layered with roasted jalapenos, American cheese, tomato, aioli, lettuce, and a Carolina reaper-infused sauce. All served on a soft and warm bun. The Reaper Burger is served with fries on the side for $15.29. Price may vary by location.
- Texas BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger – For a savory treat with a hint of tanginess, you can’t go wrong with the Texas BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. Imagine indulging in a burger made with all-beef patty, tumbleweed sauce, apple butter BBQ, hickory-smoked bacon, and cheddar cheese. But that’s not all, this indulgent holiday treat also comes with pickles, giant onion rings, and coleslaw. All these are served on a lightly toasted bun. This burger costs $15.79 and price may vary by location.
In addition to these crave-worthy burgers, TGI Fridays has other ongoing promotions for big savings. The restaurant has a $5 Happy Hour, allowing you to enjoy premium cocktails and more. Every day, the $5 Happy Hour runs from 3 pm to 6pm and 9pm to closing time. Indeed, it always feels like Friday at TGI Fridays.
Also, don’t miss the chance to munch on their delectable wings! The 50-cent wings promo of TGI Fridays runs every Monday, and you can choose from a variety of flavors including Apple Butter BBQ, Dragon-Glaze, Frank’s RedHot, Nashville Hot, and Garlic Parmesan.

I absolutely love this lineup of holiday deals and offers from Marco’s Pizza and TGI Fridays! While I cannot, for the life of me, devour a spicy burger, I’m sure I’ll enjoy the Texas BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger.
