Heading to the FA Cup Final at Wembley today? You could get free pizza at this one store but there’s a bit of a catch (and some might not like it).
Domino’s have launched their latest marketing campaign, giving away 155 “Financial Free Pizzas” on Saturday (May 25) to Manchester United fans ahead of the big match Manchester City.
But why only 115 you ask?
The giveaway by the pizza chain is a dig towards United’s rivals who are facing the prospect of being punished for their alleged 115 Premier League financial breaches.
Domino’s are offering 115 free pizza’s for Man United fans meanwhile Man City fans have to pay full price…

The 115 pizzas will be served in blue boxes and the offer is only available for football fans who turn up in a United shirt and ask for a "Financial Free Pizza”.
The only Domino's store participating in the deal is Wembley High Road (the nearest to the stadium).
The Cheese & Tomato pizzas have been available from 11am in a small size on a first come first serve basis, until all 115 are served.
A spokesperson from Domino's said: "We thought we’d level the playing field for United. We can’t do it on the pitch, but we can at least give them a few Financial Free Pizzas. Sounds fair (play) to us!”
