Noon kickoffs are taking over with more than 35 games scheduled in the first three weeks of the pro football season. With tailgates now starting at 8 a.m. or earlier, Casey's is giving fans a reason to rally in the morning.

Casey's, alongside NFL star and Iowa native Cooper DeJean, is proclaiming its breakfast pizza the "Official Pizza of Noon Kickoffs," according to a press release.

"Let's be real, if you want to win those early morning gamedays, you start with the MVP of tailgate foods: Casey's breakfast pizza," DeJean, pro football championship winner and former Iowa college footballer, said in the press release. "Growing up in Iowa, a slice of Casey's pizza was my favorite after-practice snack. Whether you're headed to the stadium or rallying from home, it's the No. 1 tailgate food worth getting up for."

Casey's will offer 40% off any size pizza every Saturday, Sep. 6 to Jan. 3, 2026, with the code SAVE40 online, in the app or in store. Every Casey's pizza is made to order on thin crust or classic, made-from-scratch crust, Casey's pizza lineup includes Breakfast Pizza, Single Topping Pizza and Specialty Pizza.

"For some people, breakfast pizza might be a new tradition, but in Casey's Country, it's been a cult favorite for nearly 25 years," Tom Brennan, chief merchandising officer at Casey's, said in the press release. "And now, we're excited to bring that experience to more fans with 40% off any pizza, every Saturday during college football season."
