Cowabunga! TMNT Pizza Joint Debuts

Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade welcomes a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed pizzeria, offering a significant dose of 90s nostalgia. The immersive space is designed to replicate the Turtles' underground hangout, complete with extensive memorabilia, themed cocktails, and merchandise.

While the full pies come with a premium price tag, ranging from $39 to $54, the quality of the food, including standout options like Raphael's Pepperoni Bash and Rocksteady's Meat Smash, is receiving positive reviews. Patrons have praised the crisp New York-style crusts and quality ingredients.

The pizzeria's arrival coincides with the city's new Entertainment Zone, which allows for open containers, aiming to boost foot traffic and nightlife. This energetic atmosphere is seen as a potential catalyst for revitalizing the shopping district.

Beyond the food, the venue offers a comprehensive nostalgic experience with themed restrooms, an arcade cabinet, and vintage VHS tapes playing the original animated series. This focus on detail aims to draw in both dedicated fans and those seeking a unique entertainment experience.
