“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,” said DeJean, pro football championship winner and former Iowa college footballer. “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.”

To get new fans on the bandwagon, Casey’s will offer 40% off any size pizza every Saturday, Sep. 6 – 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: Loaded with melted cheese, scrambled eggs and your choice of savory bacon, sausage or fresh veggies
