Pizza House Launches New Web Site www.pizzahouse.com Featuring Restaurant Tours, Menus, and Specials

Visitors Are Invited to Track the Whereabouts of "Boxy"


ANN ARBOR, MI--(Marketwire - April 14, 2009) - The public is invited to take an online tour of Pizza House restaurants located in Ann Arbor and East Lansing, Michigan. The family-owned business, which has been in operation for more than 20 years, recently launched a new web site, www.pizzahouse.com, to showcase its full service restaurants, menus and specials.

The web site includes an opportunity for Pizza House lovers to post photos that feature the travels of "Boxy" -- the restaurant's specially trademarked pizza delivery box. Participants who send in photos are eligible to win free gift cards that are awarded each month. "Boxy" has traveled as far away as Antarctica, Iraq, the White House, North Carolina, a lighthouse in Holland, Michigan, and as close as Ann Arbor Whirlyball.

"We are grateful to have so many loyal customers who not only come back time after time, but take a Pizza House memento with them when they travel," said General Manager Chris Bortz.

Web site visitors can also purchase Pizza House gift cards, place orders for the restaurant's award-winning "chipati™" sauce and sign up for an e-newsletter to receive cost-saving discounts, special event invitations and customized offers.

Pizza House added a tour of the interior of each location on its web site to showcase the restaurants' in-house dining capabilities for regular service and for special catered events.

"When we started Pizza House, most of our business was delivering pizzas," said Bortz. "Now, it's a combination of in-house dining, delivery and event catering with a greatly expanded menu."

Pizza House is open from 10:30 a.m. to 4 a.m. daily. For reservations and special events in Ann Arbor, call 734-564-8686 and for catering questions and delivery, call 734-995-5095. For the East Lansing location, call 517-336-0033.
