DIGIORNO® Pizza Tackles Big Game Delivery Hassles

SOLON, Ohio, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pizza has long been a fan favorite on game day. However, pizza delivery services are running interference with consumer's game day plans: In 2014, pizza dominated food conversations, with 93 percent of nearly 40,000 pizza-related tweets during the big game focusing on excessive delivery wait times, according to research from DIGIORNO. That's why DIGIORNO – the leader in frozen pizza – is helping party planners around the nation prepare to have the best game day party ever with hot, fresh-baked and always-on-time DIGIORNO pizza – a practice referred to as "PreGiorno."

This year, DIGIORNO is partnering with party planners everywhere to remind them of the crucial role that pizza plays on game day and ensure they "PreGiorno" to make their party a success. Forty-eight percent of consumers preparing for game day parties cited food as a top party-planning stress last year, but tackling party prep doesn't have to be hard. With a little pregame shopping and easy-to-bake DIGIORNO pizzas, you can leave game-day stress on the sidelines.

"We know that the main goal of any party host is to throw a successful party, and that means preparing with a proper game plan," said Todd Macsuga, Director of Marketing for Nestle Pizza. "When you 'PreGiorno', you're ready to serve DIGIORNO pizzas baked up hot and fresh in your own oven."

If there's anyone who knows what it takes to prepare for the big game, it's football legend Terry Bradshaw. This season, the TV analyst will star in videos about how important it is to "PreGiorno" for game-day parties so hosts can be "ready for anything." Fans can view the videos and learn more at PreGiorno.com. In anticipation of the big game, DIGIORNO will also provide fans with around-the-clock party prep tips and "PreGiorno" advice on Twitter, as @DiGiornoPizza turns into the "PreGiorno" Tweetline from January 19-31.

When you prepare to party for the year's biggest game with "PreGiorno", you can sit back, relax and enjoy pizzas – in more than 20 varieties, including Original RISING CRUST^® Supreme, Cheese Stuffed Crust, and Classic Thin Crust – with the fresh-baked taste that can only come from your oven and without the worries that come with last-minute party planning.
