LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hey America, are you ready for some free Papa John's pizza — the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL and Super Bowl XVLI? In one of the most anticipated "flips" in history, the coin toss for Super Bowl XVLI landed on "heads" this evening, resulting in a free large one-topping Papa John's pizza and 2-liter Pepsi MAX for the millions of members of Papa John's Papa Rewards customer loyalty program.

Fans who were enrolled in Papa Rewards as of 6 p.m. ET today will receive an email Monday with instructions on how to get their large one-topping pizza and 2-liter Pepsi MAX.
