When you buy any pizza, you can get a six-inch Cheese Pizza or Margherita Pizza for free. You're free to choose Cheese or Margherita for the pizza that you pay for, but you can also go for more pizza flavor variety with the likes of Salame e Burrata, Al Tartufo, and Carnivora.

For Valentine's Day, Pepper Lunch has a good-for-two bundle you can share with your S.O. situationship, ride-or-die bestie, or hey, if you're very, very, very hungry, you can eat for two.

Pepper Lunch's Double Lovers Deal is available from February 1 to 28.
