Pizza Pizza

Pizza Pizza sign in old script-style lettering, with little chefs forming the "i"s - on the side of a building, orange and white vertical stripes beneath

Location: Broadview & Danforth
Date photo taken: 3 June 2019

I just love the little pizza-tossing figures in this signage and I'm so happy that even though this location looks just like every other Pizza Pizza from the front, this eye-catching signage was retained on the side. The colour palette is different and the "i"s looked more like regular letters, but the script style here matches that on the sign which hung above the original location at Wellesley and Parliament, which opened in 1967. Here are some other fun facts from the archived version of the Pizza Pizza corporate history site: 
  • In 1967 Pizza Pizza worked with a car upholsterer to create the world's first insulated pizza delivery bag.
  • The famous 11-11 phone number was introduced in 1975 and worked into the catchy jingle in 1978.
