Portland pizzeria owner offers free pies in bid for house

PORTLAND, Ore., June 3 (UPI) -- An Oregon couple selling their home found a buyer willing to pay $26,000 over asking price in addition to providing free pizza for life.

Rob and Holly Marsh said they received four offers in three days for the Portland home, but restaurant owner Donna DeNicola's offer stood out for including an unusual bonus.

DeNicola offered $26,000 over the asking price of the home, as well as free rent for two months while the owners found a new house and a lifetime supply of free pizza from her eatery, DeNicola's Italian Restaurant.

"I felt like I was in a poker game," DeNicola told KPTV.

"Then I just kind of added, I'll throw in one pizza a month for life," she said. "I'm willing to do anything because I know this market is crazy."

DeNicola said she plans to follow through now that the Marshes have accepted her offer.

"I'm going to be buying them a pizza for life, so I will know them very well. I'll watch their kids grow up," she said.
