Giordano’s gas price pizza deal is giving loyalty app members a weekly discount tied to Chicago fuel prices. The company’s “Summer Savings — Save a Gallon” promotion launched on Friday, May 22, 2026, and gives customers savings based on the average price of one gallon of regular gas in the City of Chicago. The discount is based on AAA Gas Prices and will refresh every Monday throughout the summer. Giordano’s said the promotion began with the average gas price at $5.43, with the discount applying to qualifying pizza orders placed through the company’s loyalty program. Who Can Use Giordano’s Save a Gallon Offer? The offer is available exclusively to Giordano’s loyalty members at participating Giordano’s locations nationwide. It can be used for dine-in, carryout and delivery orders, but third-party delivery orders are excluded. Customers must place an order that includes at least one Giordano’s pizza, including Stuffed Deep Dish, Thin Crust or Tavern-Style pizza. The order must meet a $15 minimum, and only one redemption is permitted per check. New customers who sign up for Giordano’s loyalty program can access the reward immediately. How the Weekly Pizza Discount Works Beginning Monday, June 1, 2026, and every Monday after that through the summer, Giordano’s will automatically update the discount amount to reflect the latest average price of a gallon of regular gas in Chicago, according to AAA Gas Prices. That means the deal is not a fixed coupon. The savings can rise or fall depending on the weekly Chicago gas-price average. Why Giordano’s Tied Pizza Savings to Gas Prices The promotion connects a restaurant discount with a household cost many families watch closely during the summer travel season. By linking the offer to Chicago gas prices, Giordano’s is positioning “Save a Gallon” as a weekly savings tool for pizza customers rather than a one-time promotion. For customers, the deal turns a familiar fuel-price benchmark into a simple pizza discount. For Giordano’s, it gives loyalty app users a reason to check back each week while fuel costs remain part of the summer spending conversation.
