You can claim one free pizza across the redemption period. Takeaway, phone collection, order & collect, and delivery orders are excluded.
Extra toppings will be charged, and you can't use this freebie alongside any other deal including the Franco Manca Loyalty Scheme (you won't earn a stamp from this order). Additional items such as drinks aren't included.

Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
