Papa John's Announces "1040" Special for All Tax Day Pro-crust-inators

Large, pizza with up to four toppings is just $10.40 in final days of tax season

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- While the Internal Revenue Service is providing Americans three extra days to file their taxes this year, Papa John's is delivering relief to the entire nation this weekend — especially tax "pro-crust-inators" — by offering a large, original crust pizza with up to four toppings for just $10.40.

This Friday through Monday, April 15-18, consumers can get relief simply by entering the "1040" promotional code when placing orders at www.papajohns.com. The online-only offer is especially convenient to the growing number of Americans who file their taxes online. This year, the number of e-filers has risen nearly 7 percent from 2010 to more than 71 million people. And there are still several days for "pro-crust-inators" to file.

"With the tax season deadline causing stress for many Americans, this is Papa John's opportunity to provide the country with a little relief, with a great price on a superior-quality pizza," said Andrew Varga, Papa John's Chief Marketing Officer. "Through our online ordering system, Papa John's customers will experience our quality pizza -- with an immediate return — with the ‘1040' online special."
