I Consumed Four ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ DiGiorno…

“Marvel-Inspired DiGiorno Pizza Line: Bigger is Better”

As the saying goes, size does matter, and a certain infamous colossal reptilian ran amuck through a cityscape to teach this lesson. This lesson is brought home with as much force in the realm of blockbuster movie tie-in promotional food items. It is simply inadequate to accompany a big-budget release with a mere single food novelty. No, indeed, the scale must equal if not outdo the cinematic ambition.

So, we arrive at the newest and most thrilling update from the realm of movie-inspired cuisine: Not a modest one, or two, or even three, but a razor-sharp four new DiGiorno frozen pizzas inspired by the Marvel cinematic universe’s Deadpool & Wolverine saga. Speaking personally, two pizza varieties — one repping Deadpool and one for Wolverine — would have satiated my appetite. But here we encounter that key mantra: Size does matter. Hence, we are treated to four Deadpool & Wolverine themed pizzas for our selection. If this is the case for these twin-titans of the cinematic bob and weave, one can only tremble (and salivate) at the idea of how many we may see for The Fantastic Four?! The mind boogies and the stomach growls in anticipation.

Specifically, for this distinguished event, DiGiorno went all out crafting three Deadpool themed pizzas — one even inspired by his cherished chimichanga — and a single Wolverine-centric variation. One dares to hope Logan isn’t afflicted with a Napoleon Complex, because such a disparity will certainly not aid his ego.

Have you, by chance, registered that there exist a dizzying 12 different styles of DiGiorno crusts? From Rising Crust and Stuffed Crust to Croissant Crust, Hand-Tossed Style Crust, Thin Crust, Gluten Free, Fully Stuffed Crust, Thin & Crispy Stuffed Crust, Detroit Style Crust, Loaded Ultra Thin Crust, Classic Crust, and the humble Personal Pizzas. The sheer array of DiGiorno pizza crusts bests the count of Fox X-Men movies!

Through the cosmic fate of all things, a box from DiGiorno found its way to me, which contained a sample of each of these proposed four Deadpool & Wolverine pizzas. I, of course, accepted the challenge, and being of sound mind and ravenous belly, I dispatched them all and gave myself ample time to ruminate and digest the ordeal. Allow me to share my findings.

Here before us lie four limited edition DiGiorno pizzas inspired by Deadpool & Wolverine. For the record, they were not consumed in a single sitting. Fans can look forward to Deadpool & Wolverine making their grand entrance to theaters on July 26. If you’re curious, DiGiorno’s Deadpool & Wolverine pizzas are currently available at a reasonable MSRP of $6.49.

This is but the latest episode in the ongoing love affair between movies and chain restaurants. A culinary saga mirrored by its twin on the silver screen. Embrace the larger than life drama of the dinner plate and the immensity of the big screen. Same size, same drama, always more pizza.
