Same with this Pizza place. If they want to give away pizza to people who order in Spanish then so be it. You can either a) learn Spanish to get a free pie b) not go or c) pay for your pizza. If one of the previous three are too difficult for you to handle then getting free pizza is the least of your worries.
Geno's may have been stupid from a business stand point but don't you agree that the lawsuit was way out of bounds?

Actually you are probably going to get better service and a more accurate order if you order in Spanish at most fast food establishments in Texas.

Your being purposefully obtuse now about the marketing strategy because your argument has been disavowed, not that is was much of one to begin with at the start.

They arn't trying to send any message they are trying to make money. They didn't let the illegals who speak only Spanish only in the front and back doors but damn it if they have money to spend why not get them to spend it here instead of wiring it back to Mexico?

Am I missing where they broke a law?

If anything, ladies' night is worse. One can always learn Spanish or at least enough to order a pie, but it's rather difficult to become a lady.

Yes, but the customers are not flocking to free Mexican pizza day, because they want to hit on Mexicans for a date.

Lady's night gets the lady's free or reduced drinks, and the men get a bunch of ladies to hit on, it's a win-win.

The delicious irony of nativists whining that people are not speaking English while ordering a food item imported to the United States from Italy.

Exactly what every business owner who is worth their salt is looking for when marketing.

Also these type of promotions get tons of free play. Smart people that own that pizzeria.

Actually, free pizza would be more of an excuse to get their pretty good chicken wings.
Been awhile but the pizza was greasy although it tasted okay. I have not had the wings.
