Pizza parlor's giveaway sparks heated debate

A pizza parlor is being criticized for asking customers to order a pie in another language.

Dallas-based Pizza Patrón, with 104 outlets across the country, plans to give away 80,000 large pepperoni pizzas on June 5 to anyone who orders in Spanish, according to a report in USA Today.

Some have slammed the deal, as immigration remains a hot button issue in the country.
