CiCi’s pizza chain has launched a recession-appropriate promotion called “Penny Picker Upper,” which rewards consumers who find specially marked pennies outside its restaurants with free meals.

The effort kicks off today (Monday) via a television, radio and digital push from ad agency Deutsch, Los Angeles.
