Tombstone Pizza Unleashes a Candy Corn Topping for Halloween
Attention, traditional pizza aficionados: a well-known frozen pizza brand is venturing into some unusual territory this Halloween.
This week, Tombstone Pizza revealed that they are offering their classic frozen pizzas, but with an unexpected twist — candy corn as a topping.
In an announcement that seems to lean into the quirky, Tombstone called it “The Pizza Nobody Asked For™” and confidently stated that they have no regrets about the odd combination.
They introduced their limited-edition TOMBSTONE® Candy Corn Pizza, describing it as a surprising flavor mix and humorously claiming, “Candy corn. On pizza. Hear us out… it’s weirdly good.”
Part of a promotional effort, these pizzas are priced at a modest $1.31, which includes shipping for a Tombstone cheese or pepperoni pizza accompanied by a side of candy corn. For those curious, the limited-time offering will be available through three online sales on October 2, 9, and 23.
Tombstone has shared some rather cringe-worthy images of this unusual creation on social media. They invited customers to weigh in: “Trick? Treat? Terrible? Let us know in the comments.”
Reactions varied among frozen pizza fans on Facebook. One person commented, “Insane, but I appreciate this,” while another expressed disapproval, calling it “blasphemy.” Igniting further anticipation, a third user exclaimed, “This is gonna be gross.”
While candy corn and pizza each have their fans, some commenters felt that they should remain distinct entities. One remarked, “I love candy corn and pizza. But why did you just ruin that pizza?”
For some context, Tombstone Pizza has been a part of the Nestlé family since it was founded in 1962. Additionally, if you’re intrigued by other unusual pizza-candy combinations, consider visiting New York City to sample the Halloween Butterfinger Pizza, a collaboration with supermodel Heidi Klum at Crazy Pizza, where she is a partner. This sweet treat will be on offer throughout October and samples will be distributed at the Village Halloween Parade on October 31.
