HORMEL is urging you to take a day off for pizza. The best part if you do? You get a chance to win a vacation!
Who doesn’t want a slice (or three) of pizza after a long and tiring work week? Pizza has always been the go-to choice for comfort food in the U.S., it’s almost synonymous to rest day. This is why on National Pepperoni Pizza Day, HORMEL urges you to take the break you deserve and enjoy the fresh pizza you’ve been craving. As HORMEL will prove, great things happen when you go after the things you love (including winning a vacation).

On September 20, 2024, also known as National Pepperoni Pizza Day, fans of HORMEL Pepperoni are encouraged to take their PTO or “Pepperoni Time Off.” HORMEL knows that people often go out of their way to enjoy pipping hot slices of pizza. So there’s no better day to do it than on National Pepperoni Pizza Day, where you can free yourself from responsibilities and act on your pizza craving.
HORMEL fans can visit pepperonitimeoff.com to send their PTO intention to a spouse, friend, or colleague. After submitting, fans will have a chance to win the HORMEL Pepperoni Pizza Vacation in October, which is also the National Pizza Month. Winners will be able to travel to New York or Chicago. For more chances of winning, share your PTO news on social media with #PepperoniTimeOff.
According to Hormel Foods’ Director of Marketing for Snacking and Entertaining, Nick Schweitzer, they are excited to launch a campaign and sweepstakes that offer a fun and indulgent way to enjoy the always delicious HORMEL Pepperoni Pizza. The product is never too greasy nor too spicy, and is worthy of 24 hours of dedicated time, he added.

The leading Pepperoni brand in the U.S. takes pride in its many shapes, forms, and flavors of pepperoni, making them suitable for any occasion.

Other Hormel Products You Can Count On
Can’t get enough of pepperoni and the quality of HORMEL products? You’re in luck, because we’re listing here other items you might want to try to make any pizza night a successful night. And don’t worry, it’s not just the old round pizza that you could make with these. The possibilities are almost endless with HORMEL products.

HORMEL Pepperoni 50% Less Sodium
Want to cut on sodium but still enjoy savory dishes? The HORMEL Pepperoni 50% Less Sodium is exactly what you need. It makes a great addition to pizza, deli meat platter, cheese board, and pasta. And because it’s less salty than usual, you have more room to experiment when combining this ingredient with crackers or cheese for snacks.
HORMEL Pepperoni Minis
These are small pepperoni slices that pack a big flavor. They have the same taste found in regular-sized pepperoni, and so you will still enjoy the zesty flavor that comes from HORMEL’s dry sausage-making tradition. The mini slices are ideal to “pepp up” any salad, bagel, or pizza. You can also enjoy it as a snack that’s gluten-free and with 0g of carbs.
HORMEL Sliced Chorizo
Pepperoni and chorizo are both spicy sausages. But if you’re looking for something new to add to your flatbread, plated tapas, or panini, you’re off to a great start with HORMEL’s Sliced Chorizo. Taste the smokiness and Mexican spices like paprika, garlic, and peppers, when you add some slices to your appetizers or family meals. For every serving of chorizo with eight slices, you get a six-gram protein.
