\nIconic Detroit-style pizza brand founded in Austin, marks milestone with $10 Detroiters and all-day happy hour<\/p>\n

\"CityAustin, TX\u00a0 (RestaurantNews.com<\/a>)\u00a0 The City of Austin<\/a> has officially designated March 13 as Via 313 Pizzeria Day to recognize its ties to the city where the concept first took shape. What began as a trailer serving Motor City\u2013style pies has since grown into a national brand with more than 26 locations nationwide.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the newly designated 313 Day, the brand will offer $10 Detroiters \u2013 its signature double-pepperoni Detroit-style pizza \u2013 and $10 classic cheese Detroit-style pizzas, along with all-day happy hour across all Texas and Colorado locations.<\/p>\n

The one-day celebration invites guests to mark the occasion by indulging in the brand\u2019s signature pizza style that helped build its reputation in Austin and beyond.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2011 by Detroit natives Brandon and Zane Hunt, Via 313 quickly gained a following for its square, cheesy-edged pizzas before expanding into brick-and-mortar restaurants.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Detroiters, 313 isn\u2019t just an area code \u2013 it\u2019s an identity,\u201d said Kiplan Welsch, president of Via 313. \u201cBrandon and Zane carried that pride with them when they started slinging pizzas out of a trailer in Austin, and to see this city now claim March 13 as its own feels like the ultimate full-circle moment. What started as two brothers sharing the food they grew up with has become part of Austin\u2019s story, too. It\u2019s a testament to the community that showed up for us early and never stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recognition arrives as Via 313 continues its growth trajectory. Today, the brand operates 26 locations, including one food truck and two permanently placed trailers across Texas, Colorado and Utah, with additional expansion on the horizon.<\/p>\n

The brand is also offering some serious 313 Month Rewards, allowing loyalty members to earn bonus points and unlock badges by trying seasonal offerings like the Big Dill Pizza, Spinach Artichoke Dip and Turtle Hub Cap dessert. Participants can enter to win prizes including a 313 Month swag package, a pizza party for 20 and \u2013 for those who unlock the \u2018Legend\u2019 badge \u2013 early access to upcoming menu items and a chance to win a private cooking session with founders Brandon and Zane Hunt.<\/p>\n

Fans looking to take part in future celebrations are encouraged to join Via 313\u2019s rewards program<\/a>, which offers members exclusive perks, early access to specials and opportunities to participate in promotions tied to events like Via 313 Day.<\/p>\n
