Pizza Hut is promoting National Pizza Month this October by offering customers two medium pizzas at $6.99 each, with the customer's choice of style, toppings, sauces and drizzles. Pizza Hut said the end-of-month Halloween holiday is one of the chain's three busiest days of the year, in a news release.
