Pizza Hut has hopped on the viral “group 7” TikTok trend and is inviting its customers to join the exclusive club.

In case you aren’t familiar, group 7 has taken off on the social media platform, from Barbara Corcoran to the Kansas City Chiefs getting in on the inside joke. Now, Pizza Hut is bringing the social media trend to real life by announcing a new “Group 7” deal. 

The pizza chain announced that its customers can get 35% off online pizza orders when they enter the code “Group 7” while checking out on its app. The offer starts Wednesday, Oct. 22 and ends Friday, Oct. 24.

“Being part of ‘Group 7’ doesn’t just live on TikTok anymore, it now lives at your table and feeds the whole squad,” a Pizza Hut spokesperson tells TODAY.com. “Host a Group 7 pizza party with Pizza Hut’s new deal to feed your entire For You Page with good times.”

Group 7 originated from singer Sophia James who decided to share multiple videos on TikTok to promote her new song as a “science experiment.” The seventh video, which she labeled as being for her “group 7” fans, went viral, with over 5 million likes.

Pizza Hut isn’t the only company trying to get in on the group 7 glory since the phrase started popping on TikTok. Beneath the original group 7 video shared by James, multiple brands left comments.

Fenty Beauty wrote, “Group 7 the baddest we don’t make the rules.”

Aveeno said, “I heard group 7 has really great skin…”

Clorox chimed in and added, “Group 7 is clean girl code.”

Oreo wrote, “I am so happy to be here.”

Pizza Hut’s latest deal comes after the pizza chain announced new limited-edition pizzas in August called Crafted Flatzz. The personalized pies, featuring “grown-up flavors” like Nashville Hot Chicken, Chicken Bacon Ranch and Pepperoni Duo, cost $5 before 5 p.m.
