CHICAGO — Why give your favorite teacher an apple when you can give them a yearlong supply of free pizza instead?
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria plans to offer teachers across Chicagoland a chance to win free pizza for a year.
Beginning Monday through May 3, students, parents and fellow administrators across the greater Chicagoland area are encouraged to nominate their favorite K-12 teacher.

The finalists will also receive a $250 pizza party package for their school.
The 70 Honorable Mention Teachers will receive a $100 Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria gift card.
Those who nominate teachers are asked to write 100 words or less explaining why their favorite teacher deserves recognition.
