This Pizza Chain’s Wholesome Comeback Will Melt Every ’90s Kid’s Heart

Quick Smiles:

• Papa Johns teams up with beloved Toy Story franchise for nostalgic personal pan pizza menu celebrating Toy Story 5
• Three adorable pizza flavors honor iconic characters—Space Ranger Roni, Sheriff’s Round Up, and Reach for the Pie
• Limited-time menu launches June 1, bringing families together for movie night magic just like the good old days

Weekend nights used to be a time when families flocked to places like Blockbuster Video to rent a movie. Then they’d grab a pizza on the way home.

In 2026, there’s no more late-night movie runs, walking the aisles searching for your favorite titles, or hoping someone drops off the top item on your wish list before your mom loads up the station wagon. Life was simpler back then, and we loved it.

In 1995, Pixar introduced us to the Toy Story franchise. Now, 31 years later, fans still love Toy Story and so does Papa Johns.

The pizza chain is getting ready for the newest Toy Story movie with a special personal pan pizza menu that’s bringing back all those cozy family memories.

Toy Story Fans Will Love the New Papa Johns Menu

The Toy Story and Papa Johns collaboration brings together two iconic brands for the first time. The Toy Story personal pan pizzas come in three heartwarming varieties.

Space Ranger Roni: Double pepperoni

Sheriff’s Round Up: Southern BBQ chicken

Reach for the Pie: Italian sausage and banana peppers

“Toy Story is one of the most globally loved franchises of all time, and pizza has a unique way of bringing people together across cultures,” Chris Lyn-Sue, SVP, General Manager of International at Papa Johns said.

“In the first pizza collaboration for a Toy Story movie release, we’re celebrating Toy Story 5 across multiple markets, making this one of our biggest international collaborations to date.”

Walt Disney executives agree and love seeing Papa Johns teaming up with Toy Story.

“Toy Story is beloved by generations, and our all-new movie Toy Story 5 continues the legacy in a fresh and exciting way,” Lylle Breier, EVP, Partnerships, Promotions, Synergy & Events at The Walt Disney Studios shared.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Papa Johns and bring Toy Story to fans in a whole new flavor – literally. Our collaboration is the perfect blend of comfort, nostalgia and something refreshingly new, taking the celebration to infinity and beyond.”

The Toy Story 5 personal pan pizzas will be available June 1, 2026, to July 19, 2026. The movie hits theaters on June 19.

Families across the country are already excited to recreate those magical movie nights from decades past—this time with a delicious twist that honors beloved characters and brings generations together around the dinner table.
