Little Caesars' March Madness pizza giveaway brings out huge crowds
Thanks to UMBC's historic upset of Virginia in the NCAA tournament, people across the United States were treated to free pizza Monday.
Little Caesars announced last month that "if crazy happened" and a No. 16 pulled off a win over a No. 1 seed, it would serve up lunch combos free of charge. College basketball fans and pizza lovers took full advantage of the offer.
