Papa Johns Pizza Planet is a global experiential pop-up store themed after Pizza Planet, the iconic space in the popular animated film Toy Story.

The pop-up will be held in major cities including London, Seoul, Madrid and Los Angeles, and in Korea it will be presented as an experiential space that combines a retro-feel pizza arcade concept with a space-universe setting.

In Korea, it will take place from July 12 to 14 at Stage X Seongsu Chabot in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

At the outdoor pizza truck zone, visitors will be served Papa Johns pizza, and experiential content will be set up throughout the pop-up. On-site, the limited-time menu with a Toy Story theme—Space Ranger Buzz Pizza, Yee-haw! Exciting Sheriff Jessie Pizza, and Forever Partner Woody Pizza—will be offered.

Chris Lin Su, senior vice president (SVP) at Papa Johns International, said, "Toy Story is a work that has been loved across generations for a long time. We are pleased to bring to life Papa Johns Pizza Planet, which holds special meaning for many fans," and added, "We hope many fans in Korea can make new memories with delicious pizza through this pop-up."
