It marks the launch of the newest movie in the iconic series
Papa Johns is bringing Toy Story’s fictional ‘Pizza Planet’ restaurant to life to celebrate Toy Story 5 hitting cinemas. The sci-fi pizzeria featured during the first film in 1995 and Papa Johns has revealed it is reimagining the setting for the 21st century.
The pizza giants says a London pop-up will open for one weekend only on June 13 and 14 at White Rabbit Studios, Shoreditch, London. The Disney collaboration will ‘fully transport fans into the Toy Story universe’ and will feature ‘all the elements synonymous with the iconic movie series’.
It’s said to be designed as a ‘retro‑inspired pizza arcade’, and invites fans to step into an ‘immersive world’ shaped by playtime and imagination as they reconnect over pizza. The experience will feature limited‑time‑only Toy Story 5 pizzas – Sheriff’s Roundup and Reach for the Pie.
Exclusive packaging, prize giveaways and merch created for pizza lovers and Toy Story fans alike will also be available. Visitors can expect Jumbotron and claw machines, nostalgic photo moments and exclusive prizes up through giveaways from brands including Crocs.
Free movie tickets and a year’s supply of Papa Johns pizza will also be on offer. The event is free of charge, and for fans who can’t make it to Papa Johns Pizza Planet, the adventure continues in Papa Johns restaurants around the world.
From June 2 – July 19, Papa Johns will offer a limited‑edition Toy Story 5 menu. Chris Lyn‑Sue at Papa Johns said: “Toy Story is a franchise that has spanned generations, continuing to hold a special place in people’s hearts around the world – much like pizza does around the table.
“Papa Johns Pizza Planet is a place many fans will recognise and feel a connection. Bringing it to life today allows fans, old and new, to sit down, enjoy great pizza and make new memories together.”
Lylle Breier at The Walt Disney Studios said, “As excitement builds for the release of Toy Story 5, we’re thrilled to collaborate with Papa Johns on a campaign that brings this iconic experience off the big screen and into fans’ everyday lives. Toy Story has always been about friendship, imagination and moments we share together.
“Papa Johns Pizza Planet pop-ups give fans a chance to step inside that world and create new memories together.”
The opening times for the 18+ event are 12pm-8pm on Saturday June 13 and 11.30am 5.30pm on Sunday June 14. You can sign up for the Pizza Planet event here – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1990312800163
