There's no such thing as a free lunch

But, you can get one pretty cheap from Papa John's between now and December 1st.

Our local news outlets told us they would give you a free medium pizza if you became a fan via facebook.

But, as usual, the media left out a couple of important elements of the story:

1. The "free" pizza is cheese only, no other toppings.

2. They will charge you for delivery, but it's only two bucks.

3. You have to spend a minimum of $6.99 (including the above-mentioned delivery fee) before the website will accept your order, so you've got to find something that costs $4.99 or more to get the "free" pizza . . . I recommend the breadsticks.

4. If you've got a conscience, and yes I have one, you'll also have to tip the driver, so you're looking at closer to $10 by the time all is said and done. Still not a bad deal, but definitely not free.

5. You don't have to use the facebook angle at all. Just go to www.papajohns.com and enter this promo code: PJMEDIUM.

And, now you know the rest of the story!
