The iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are making their culinary debut with the grand opening of an official pizzeria in Santa Monica on June 20th. Located on the 3rd Street Promenade, this eatery is the brainchild of restauranteur Andy Nguyen, who has previously created popular themed cafes for franchises like One Piece and Sonic The Hedgehog.
Nguyen has described the pizzeria as a passion project years in the making, aiming to deliver authentic New York-style pizza with a distinct TMNT flair. The restaurant celebrated its grand opening with appearances by the Turtles themselves, adding to the excitement for fans.
This Santa Monica establishment is just the beginning, as it's slated to be the first of three global TMNT-themed restaurants by Paramount. Future locations are planned for Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Monterey, Mexico, though opening dates for these have not yet been announced. The interior features vibrant neon signs and artwork celebrating the heroes in a half-shell.
