📱 About the App

The Pizza Hut BOOK IT!® app is designed to track and reward children's reading progress.

📚 About BOOK IT!®

Established in 1984, BOOK IT!® is a nationally recognized reading incentive initiative developed by Pizza Hut to foster lifelong reading habits among children.

BOOK IT!® has two programs: the school program and the summer program. The school program is designed for teachers, including homeschool teachers, and runs October 1 — March 31. The summer program is intended for parents and runs June 1 — August 31. Both programs serve students in Pre-K through 6th grade nationwide and award a Personal Pan Pizza® to students for reaching their reading goals.

During the Summer Program, known as BOOK IT! Summer of Stories™, participating children may receive a free one-topping Personal Pan Pizza® for each month they meet their reading goal, as set by their parents.*

*Each family may redeem up to five Personal Pan Pizza® certificates per month. One certificate may be earned per eligible child, per month, upon meeting the required reading goal.
