If you thought that the marketing for The Super Mario Bros. Movie had already gone too far, then you ain't seen nothing yet. German frozen pizza company Pizzatainment has today announced that it will be collaborating with Nintendo on a range of 'Mario-themed' pizzas — though the theme seems to be limited to the colour of the boxes (thanks, RTL Today).
There are two different pizzas currently announced for the collaboration: 'Triple-Salami-Explosion' and 'Quattro Formaggi Deluxe'. If you're thinking to yourself "hmm, that doesn't sound like anything to do with Mario," then you would be correct. It isn't. What makes them 'Mario-themed' is the presence of Mario and co. on the boxes — hardly a prime advertisement for the franchise, but proof that Mario's face exists, we suppose.
Yep, what could possibly be more Mario than *checks notes* a salami pizza? And how about Wario and Waluigi? Those guys are always eating, uh, cheese, right?
Surely there was room for some kind of Mushroom Kingdom-themed (and we're just spitballing here) mushroom pizza? Yoshi's Veggie Delight? Wario's Ham and Pineapple? We can't say that the opportunities are necessarily endless, but there's something there.
Both pizzas will be hitting up the frozen isle in German supermarkets from February.

When I hear Mario and salami, all my mind goes to is this YTP from ages ago:

Yoshi would def have a pineapple pizza. Because fruit.
"Wario's Ham and Pineapple?" Nah man, a proper Wario pizza would have a garlic bread crust.
I would like to see a Super Mario themed pizza at one of the new Nintendo theme parks.
In some countries salami is the same thing as pepperoni
No big movie release is complete without some wildly random and unconnected licenced products! 😂
Can we get some Cheep Cheep seafood next?
Hm. What about Spaghetti? Has any food company prepared Mario themed Spaghetti?
@StevieJanowski
Excuse me but Wario would have a garlic pizza! Garlic and extra cheese with red onion to get the yellow and purple.
Mario, yeah mushroom, though that one wouldn’t be for me. Mushroom and tomato to keep it red. Pepperoni could be there too.
Luigi, not sure maybe push the green and make him a veggie pesto pizza. Courgette, peppers, onion etc.
Waluigi… you could go purple theme with red onion jam, maybe aubergine or purple broccoli? Probably much nicer than it sounds, better than a rose petal pizza at least.
Bowser is obviously a spicy meatball pizza.
Yoshi… some kind of green and red fruit pizza for desert? Not sure if that and Peach’s peach pizza would work or not.
Its not even Movie Mario themed.... just regular old Mario.
Dude I can edit that together so easily it’s not even funny, it’s so cheap looking lmao.
Also, I don’t believe warriors would eat pineapples on pizza! There are perfectly tasty garlic pizzas all around, come on man!
No one's going to mention the fact the cheese pizza comes with 'sweet sprinkles'?
Any acknowledgment of Waluigi gets a few brownie points at least.
I need that Waluigi & Wario pizza NOW.
I don’t care that it’s basic as heck, I still want it.
The more variety the better. I know people allergic to mushrooms, so there should be more variety, or just non-mushroom variants.
For Mario themed foods, I think a tin-foiled rice crispy cat-bell would be nice
@RobTheIII
I know it's oddly polarizing, but Hawaiian pizza is my favorite style. Ham and pineapple go so well together
@DigimonMonster
A quick search shows that in 1982, Burger King had advertisements for Pacman. So I think almost as long as games have existed, they've been advertised in fast food at least
I get it though.
Everyone likes pepperoni pizza, and Mario's signature color is red.
Wario's a smelly guy, and cheese is often yellow.
And. If anyone in the mushroom embodied blue cheese... it's Waluigi.
Four cheese Deluxe pizza... with SWEET SPRINKLES.
This is worse than COVID.
Can't wait for a random YouTuber to store this in their fridge for 12 years and then do an un-boxing taste test!
Hmm, that's neat.
@sketchturner Oh, I thought it was one of those dessert pizzas, made of pie dough, fruits, whipped cream, and candy? I can't read German, so I guess I was wrong.
@Axecon Eww.
@Classic603,
Pineapple is awesome on Pizza, I have chicken, sweetcorn, mushroom and pineapple, I could just eat one right now.
Shouldn't it be "have little to do with...?"
@OstianOwl You sir, have VERY good taste.
@SmileMan64 Closest thing could be the Mario Spaghetti-Os.
I live in Switzerland, I hope they will sell them also here.
Does Aldi count as a German supermarket? Because we have Aldi in the USA
@NatiaAdamo Woo. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
@Dogorilla Hahaha nice find. Never seen anything like it
This movie will be awesome. I hope so. It looks amazing beautiful. Princess Peach is my favourite.
What the hell are these pizzas? I agree that any Wario pizza needs to have at least a load of garlic on it. Pineapple fits Yoshi way more. They really missed the mark thematiccaly.
@JJtheTexan Their origins lie in Germany. So, yes. We have many Aldi supermarkets here in the Netherlands, doesn't make them any less German by origin.
Waluigi doesn't make it into Smash but makes it onto a pizza box. We truly live in a society.
