California Pizza Kitchen is offering everyone 50% off macaroni and cheese after a woman’s botched order went viral on TikTok.
The woman shared her story on TikTok, explaining that she ordered pizza and mac-and-cheese from CPK to cheer herself up after a rough week. When the delivery arrived, she got her pizza along with a container of just cheese.
Confused, she claimed that she called the restaurant and was told by two different people that it wasn’t a mistake and that you need to specifically order the noodles, or you’ll just get cheese when you order mac-and-cheese.
Clearly, there was a miscommunication, but her video about the MAC-LESS mac-and-cheese went viral.
In response, CPK issued a serious apology. They sent her a package filled with dry noodles and a card offering her free mac-and-cheese and free pizza for a year.
In a follow-up video, she expressed her gratitude, calling it “so sweet . . . and REALLY good marketing.” She also encouraged people offering to send her stuff to donate to those in need instead.
CPK didn’t stop there. They announced that everyone could get half-off mac-and-cheese for the rest of the month with the promo code “cheeseANDmac.”
So thanks to this woman’s botched order, we all get a little extra love.
