Papa Johns is launching immersive Pizza Planet pop-ups inspired by Toy Story to celebrate the upcoming release of Toy Story 5, according to a press release shared on May 27, 2026.

The themed experiences are based on the iconic Pizza Planet arcade featured in the original 1995 film, now recreated as a real-world pop-up in collaboration with Pixar and Disney. The activation is designed to tap into nostalgia for fans of the long-running animated franchise while promoting the next chapter in the series.

Four international pop-up locations will open in Los Angeles, London, Seoul and Madrid throughout June 2026. Each venue will feature an immersive set-up inspired by the sci-fi pizza arcade, along with limited-time menu items, collectibles and exclusive merchandise.

The themed menu includes three Toy Story 5-inspired personal pizzas: Space Ranger Roni, Sheriff’s Roundup, and Reach for the Pie. The offerings will also roll out globally across Papa Johns stores from May 26 to July 19.

According to the company, the campaign aims to recreate the imaginative world of Pizza Planet, a key location from the original Toy Story film where characters Woody and Buzz Lightyear famously visit the arcade.

A spokesperson for Disney said the collaboration is intended to encourage fans to “embrace imagination” and create new memories connected to the franchise.

In addition to food and collectibles, Papa Johns will also introduce its first in-app game, Operation Pizza, offering rewards to loyalty members in the United States.

The pop-ups will launch on staggered dates in June, with Los Angeles opening on June 12, followed by Seoul and London, and Madrid later in the month.

The campaign reflects growing entertainment-food brand collaborations as studios expand franchise marketing beyond film releases into immersive real-world experiences.
