Company Overview

About Hunt Brothers® Pizza

Hunt Brothers Pizza is a pizza distribution company founded in 1991 by four brothers who wanted to bring the American dream to life for their families (including their employees) and their customers. As one of the most popular pizza distributors in the United States with 9,000+ locations and 500+ employees, Hunt Brothers Pizza knows how to put their employees and customers first.

The Challenge

Building trust through better recognition

Hunt Brothers® Pizza's previous reward vendor left a lot to be desired. Months of poor customer service and missed deadlines — not to mention high markups on limited rewards — left admins and employees frustrated. They knew it was time for a change.

The Solutions

Fresh, never frozen appreciation

As Hunt Brothers® Pizza started looking, Awardco immediately stood out with our official Amazon Business partnership, zero markup policy, and the largest reward network on the planet.

After officially switching to Awardco, Hunt Brothers® Pizza experienced:

  • Reliable, attentive customer service
  • Fair, transparent pricing for better budgeting
  • Millions of rewards for employees

Now admins could offer the genuine and timely appreciation and rewards that employees craved.

Empowering employees with more choice

Initially, there was hesitation about offering so many reward options. Some leaders wondered if it would be overwhelming and considered creating custom catalogs of reward options. 

However, after listening to employee feedback, leadership pivoted and gave employees power to choose from the full Awardco reward network.

This shift to employee-driven recognition had an immediate impact:

  • Increased satisfaction as employees picked rewards that mattered to them
  • Higher engagement with the recognition platform
  • Boosted happiness across the company culture

By giving employees a voice in how they were rewarded, Hunt Brothers® Pizza reimagined recognition and made it a true driver of employee experience.

The Results

A culture with appreciation baked in

Hunt Brothers® Pizza used recognition and rewards to achieve stronger employee satisfaction, increased engagement, and greater motivation from a workforce that feels more seen, heard, and valued.
