PURCHASE, N.Y., Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ordering pizza on a Friday night is a classic end-of-week celebration (with nearly 43% of pizza orders taking place then), but if you're not chasing that crispy crust and gooey cheese with a refreshing sip of ice-cold PEPSI®, you're leaving taste on the table – and that's nothing to celebrate. In hopes of putting a screeching halt to eating pizza without a Pepsi, today, the brand debuts "PEPSI Chase Cars," a new stunt reminding all pizza lovers (and anyone who appreciates good taste 😉) that your next pie should be chased with a Pepsi, for optimal enjoyment. The stunt content highlights the thrill of the chase – the Pepsi chase that is – because pizza simply tastes #BetterWithPepsi. And to prove it, this Friday, Pepsi is offering tens of thousands of FREE pizzas to fans who choose to "chase their pizza" with a Pepsi.

Created in collaboration with BBDO Worldwide, the content depicts various deliveries, where hungry, everyday consumers are waiting for their piping hot pizza when a surprising twist occurs. Suddenly, a visibly marked "PEPSI Chase Car" pulls up alongside a pizza delivery vehicle and an over-eager delivery driver jumps out just as the pizza is being handed to the customer – handing over a complimentary Pepsi to ensure flavor doesn't get away! Fans can check out the "PEPSI Chase Cars" in action on the Pepsi YouTube channel here and can view additional cutdowns and bloopers across Instagram, Facebook, X and TikTok.
"We're more committed than ever to proving that food – especially America's favorite, pizza, tastes Better With Pepsi. We love pizza and Pepsi together so much that we unleashed a fleet of ridiculously overpowered 'PEPSI Chase Cars' to make sure that no pizza is eaten without a Pepsi chaser," said Jenny Danzi, Head of Brand Marketing – Pepsi. "When you're eating pizza, you deserve to enjoy it to its full potential, and that's why we're offering tens of thousands of free pizzas to prove that Pepsi, with its citrusy sweetness and carbonation, perfectly complements the deliciousness that is pizza.
