Free Donatos Pizza and Pinkberry Yogurt in Charlotte This Week

Enjoy free pizza Tuesday, July 20 and free yogurt Thursday, July 22, thanks to two franchises in Charlotte.

Donatos is giving away free pizza beginning at 5 p.m. to the first 300 people at each of its 16 Charlotte area locations. All you have to do is come into the restaurant and show a local Donatos phone number saved in your mobile phone's contacts list and you'll receive a free one-topping medium pizza. You can be sure that many people are saving that number as we speak.

Participating Donatos locations: Dilworth, SouthPark, Uptown/Gateway, Prosperity Point, McKee Farms, Sardis Commons, Concord, Indian Trail, Rock Hill, Tega Cay, Pineville, Indian Land, Waxhaw, Huntersville, Davidson, and Mooresville. Visit www.facebook.com/DonatosCharlotte for more details.

Then on Thursday, as you seek to escape this 95-degree heat, drop by the new Pinkberry location that opened last week at Phillips Place in SouthPark. The popular Los Angeles-based frozen yogurt chain, that celebrities seem to go crazy over, is holding a grand opening event from 6-10 p.m. in celebration of its first North Carolina store. They'll be playing music and giving away free frozen yogurt and other prizes.

Pinkberry is located at 6908-C Philips Place Court. Click here for more details.
