San Diego Community Members to Compete for Free Flippin' Pizza for a Year

Online, May 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - SAN DIEGO - From contests on Facebook and community "tweetups", to sidewalk dough-throwers and local sponsorships, Flippin' Pizza continues to find new ways to engage the local community as the neighborhood pizzeria. Now, for the month of June, the New York-style pizzeria will kick off the summer with June Pizza Perks, a competition that combines new media with in-person communication, to engage and reward the most social of customers.

Participants in Flippin' Pizza's June Pizza Perks will rack up points for being frequent visitors to its stores and online communities. Pizza Perks - including free Flippin' Pizza for one year - will be awarded to the winner with the most points at the Pizza Perks Party on July 1, 2010. Here's how points are earned:

1. Find out the word of the day by visiting a San Diego Flippin' Pizza or Knockout restaurant. Eat at Flippin' Pizza daily (or as often as you can) to never miss a word of the day.

2. Email the word of the day and your name to [email protected] before midnight to qualify for that day's points.

3. Check Flippin' Pizza's Page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/FlippinPizza) and Twitter (http://twitter.com/FlippinPizzaCA) frequently for insider point opportunities, including bonus points and double and triple-point days.

4. Grand prize winner will be announced on July 1 at the Pizza Perks Party and must be present to claim the Frequent Flipper title.

"We're always looking for innovative ways to interact with our customers, both in the store and after they leave," said Patrick Farley, owner of Flippin' Pizza. "Our tweetups in May were a huge success in bridging the gap between social networking and in-store dining. With the foundation laid, the June Pizza Perks will take this concept one step further by allowing local community members to engage with the Flippin' Pizza brand and earn rewards both on- and offline."

The local Flippin' Pizza restaurants in Encinitas, La Costa, Vista and Carlsbad ("Knockout") are all sources for June Pizza Perks points. North County businesses interested in getting involved in the June Pizza Perks competition to offer prizes or serve as a "points" location may email [email protected] for more information.

About FLIPPIN' PIZZA and Knockout Pizzeria:
Knockout Pizzeria's unique pizza recipe originated in Sicily over 30 years ago. The craze over this pizza in New York made it apparent that the West Coast was missing out and thus, Knockout Pizzeria of Carlsbad was born. Flippin' Pizza was launched in 2007 as Patrick Farley, owner of the original Knockout Pizzeria of Carlsbad, expanded his concept to more pizzerias in North San Diego County. It is the mission of Knockout Pizzeria and Flippin' Pizza to be the neighborhood pizzerias that provide a true slice of New York to every customer who walks through their doors.
