$2 pizza at Pizza Hut? How to get your slice of the Tuesday deal
The company started a deal for $2 1-topping Personal Pan Pizzas on July 8 and initially planned to offer it only through July. But it's been so popular, Pizza Hut is extending it into August. "The response has been nothing short of incredible and we are even selling out of Personal Pan Pizzas at thousands of restaurants across the country," Melissa Friebe, chief marketing officer of Pizza Hut U.S., said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY earlier this month.
No word yet on what the end date will be, but maybe the $2 1-topping Personal Pan Pizza deal will follow the pattern of McDonald's $5 Meal Deal, which the fast-food giant began offering in June 2024 and remains on the menu.

The deal is good for carryout only – no other purchase necessary – limit of up to four per customer; order in-store or in the Pizza Hut app at participating locations. Extra cheese or additional toppings cost extra.
While the offer is available at Pizza Hut locations nationwide, check to make sure your Pizza Hut location is among those participating.
Also, the offer is only good while supplies last at the restaurant; on the July 8 launch date, more than 3,100 Pizza Hut restaurants sold out, the company told USA TODAY.
Pizza Hut's $2 Personal Pan Pizza deal has been a viral sensation, with customers such as one mom posting on Facebook, "The kids were so pumped when I walked through the door with these little boxes of happiness."
Additionally, fans of the deal have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to praise the deal.
Pizza Hut made an Instagram post on June 22 promoting the deal which has garnered many comments including, "Thank you! I am loving this deal for my kids 😍" and "Look at Pizza Hut looking out for us in these hard times.".While there have been many satisfied customers, a few have taken to social media to complain that their pizza didn't meet their expectations. On that same Instagram post, one of the comments read "Mine looked nothing like this video 😢 barely any cheese or sauce #disapponted." People have also mentioned the long lines and wait times with one post on X saying, "The line was out the door & around the corner for the $2 pizzas @ Pizza Hut. One lady said she was waiting for 2 hrs."

McDonald's brings back beloved Halloween menu tradition for 2025
Summer isn't even over, but McDonald's is already preparing for fall by announcing the highly anticipated return of one of its most iconic seasonal items. As many brands lean into pumpkin spice lattes and fall spice-flavored treats, McDonald's is taking a different approach and standing out from the competition by bringing back a nostalgic Halloween favorite, beloved by both kids and adults. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter McDonald's has revealed that the limited-edition Boo Buckets will be returning at all participating U.S. locations this October, just in time for Halloween to fulfill all candy-collecting needs. Related: McDonald's brings back experimental menu item 13 years later While the exact release date has yet to be confirmed, the Boo Buckets launched on October 15 last year and were available through October 31 while supplies lasted. Based on this yearly pattern, fans can expect the 2025 drop to be around mid-October. McDonald's (MCD) introduced the Boo Buckets nationwide in 1986 as part of its Halloween-themed Happy Meal after launching a small pilot in select markets the year prior. The original lineup consisted of plastic containers with a handle and spooky designs in three different varieties.

Still, the designs constantly changed, evolving with new characters and colors, slight tweaks, and even one-off collaborations. Boo Buckets are discontinued After three decades of being a constant seasonal offering at all McDonald's across the U.S., the Boo Buckets were discontinued in 2016. The final launch was a collaboration with the Peanuts franchise, featuring Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Fans were disappointed to hear the news, and after much pleading to bring it back, the Boo Buckets returned in 2022 with a slightly revamped look that still featured the original orange, white, and green characters but with a more modern design and no lid. This seasonal relaunch not only highlighted the loyalty of McDonald's fans but also enabled the company to meet demand, keep consumers engaged, and drive sales. What will the 2025 Boo Buckets look like and where to get them The new design for 2025 has not been revealed yet, but McDonald's tends to update the Boo Buckets every year, so expect a new collectable design to be revealed soon.

Raising Cane's opening new locations in 6 states in August. Here's where.
Raising Cane's is continuing its expansion this summer. After opening five new restaurants in July, the Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based chain known for its chicken fingers said in a statement to USA TODAY it is opening seven more locations across six states in August, including its first restaurant in the Long Beach, California area. Other states getting new locations include Florida, Wisconsin and Maryland, among others, Raising Cane's said in an emailed statement on July 28. Here's what to know about this month's Raising Cane's openings. Which states are getting new Raising Cane's locations? New restaurants are scheduled to open at the following locations on the following dates, according to the chain: Aug. 5: 323 William S Canning Blvd., Fall River, Massachusetts Aug. 5: 2742 Tyrone Blvd N., St. Petersburg, Florida Aug. 7: 1850 Oakland Ave., Indiana, Pennsylvania Aug. 12: 1741 Claribel Rd., Riverbank, California Aug. 19: 6803 Ritchie Hwy., Glen Burnie, Maryland Aug. 19: 3740 WI-16, La Crosse, Wisconsin Aug. 26: 119 E. Carson St., Long Beach, California What is Raising Cane's? The company sells chicken sandwiches and chicken finger combos including crinkle-cut fries, Texas Toast, coleslaw and Cane's sauce, which the company says is made with a "special blend of spices." Raising Cane's owner Todd Graves initially planned to call his restaurant Sockeye's, a nod to the salmon he once fished in Alaska. However, a friend suggested he name the company after his yellow Labrador Retriever, Raising Cane, who spent lots of time at the construction site of the first Raising Cane's location at the north gates of Louisiana State University. The dog, Cane I, served as the company's mascot until he died in 1998, according to the chain. He was friendly and loved to wear Graves' sunglasses. Raising Cane's second mascot, Cane II, stepped into her role in 1999. She was a therapy dog who visited hospital patients around the country. As the company mascot, Cane II spent time at the company's Restaurant Support Office and attended community events until 2016. Most recently, Cane III, born in 2017, was appointed mascot. "She loves visiting Raising Cane's Restaurants and receiving belly rubs from crewmembers," the company said, noting that Raising Cane's fans can follow her on social media at @RaisingCane3.
