Casey’s, alongside NFL star and Iowa native Cooper DeJean, is proclaiming its breakfast pizza the “Official Pizza of Noon Kickoffs.”

“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
Single Topping Pizza: Made with signature marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese and topped with cheese, pepperoni, sausage or beef
Specialty Pizza: Perfect for meat lovers, veggie fans or anyone craving a fully loaded slice – try the fan-favorite and back for a limited-time Jalapeño Popper Pizza, available starting September 3
