Toppers Pizza announced that it will run a "Welcome back, Marty McFly" promotion on Oct. 21 in all Chicago-area stores. On Oct. 21, customers may purchase any large pizza for $10.21, according to a company press release. The date and price honor the 1985 movie "Back to the Future," in which Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) travels forward in time to Oct. 21, 2015.

"The idea originated from a Chicago area franchisee, actually. Her name is Jackie Apkarian and she owns the Wicker Park location," said Simona Peña, field marketing coordinator for Toppers Pizza. "We tweaked her idea a bit and came up with the idea below: ALL day on October 21st 2015 every one of the Toppers Pizza locations in the Chicago area will be running a 'Welcome Back, Marty McFly' special in which any large pizza will be sold for $10.21. In the movie they 'rehydrate' a pizza. Glad to say we are still making ours fresh!"

Toppers Pizza has 75 stores in 13 states.
