We know what many people will be doing for lunch today. They’ll be lining up for free pizza from Little Caesars.

So today, between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time, you can order a free Hot-N-Ready Lunch Combo, which normally runs $5. It includes a four-slice pepperoni pizza and a 20-ounce soda per family, Little Caesars announced last month. There is a caveat: You have to order the deal by 1 p.m., not just be in line to order and while supplies last.
