It's the one day of the year when you can get free doughnuts

The day has finally come: It’s National Doughnut Day, y’all! And you know what that means — free doughnuts.

But before we get into all the deals and specials, we have to talk about what Papa John’s is doing this glorious day. (Bet you weren’t expecting that, right? Us, either.)

You may know the pizza chain has quite the dessert menu — double chocolate chip brownies, cinnamon pull-aparts and more — but they’re going all out this National Doughnut Day, adding doughnut holes to their already impressive lineup of sweet treats. For a limited time this summer (that’s right, it’s more than just a one-day deal), you can grab yourself a serving of cinnamon-sugar-coated treats stuffed with caramel crème.

You’re probably asking: But are they free? Not exactly. Order any pizza online today, and you’ll get an order of the doughnut holes free of charge. Then, on June 2, if you order two pizzas, pop in the promo code DONUT and get a free order that way too. Or, you can buy them at $4.99 for an order of 10. Not bad.

That’s not all, though. If you order doughnut holes online or through Papa John’s app, you’ll be automatically entered into Papa John’s Dreaming of Donuts Island Getaway Sweepstakes. If you’re the lucky winner, you’ll score a free eight-day, seven-night vacation to Donut Island in New Zealand — an island that’s actually shaped like a doughnut.

OK, ready for the rest of the deals? We already told you about Burger King’s Whopper Donut yesterday, but here are the rest.
