Pizza Hut has just taken our love for gaming and pizza to a whole new level with their latest creation, the PIZZAWRMR. This gadget is a clever blend of food and gaming, designed to perch on top of your PlayStation 5 console, keeping your pizza warm and ready as you dive into your favorite games. Now, before you rush to the nearest store, note that this isn’t something you can buy or snag in a giveaway. Instead, Pizza Hut Canada has generously released the 3D printing files for free. Just sign up, and you’ll be equipped to download, tweak, and print it yourself.
Drawing inspiration, believe it or not, from the restaurant’s iconic red roof, the PIZZAWRMR cleverly opens like a laptop, making it super easy to grab a slice. Pizza Hut assures us that plenty of slices can be neatly tucked inside. Ingeniously, it uses the console’s own hot exhaust to keep the pizza area warm—something the marketing folks at Pizza Hut proudly refer to as a triumph of “science and engineering for the greater good.”
For those eager to get their hands dirty and try this out, the download package provides all the necessary STL files and a guide in PDF format. You’ll find parts for the body, lid, and more, specifically crafted to fit consoles with a rear vent of 11.7 x 1.31 inches. However, to print the PIZZAWRMR, you’ll need a 3D printer with a bed at least 15 x 15 inches—that might narrow your options unless you don’t mind a bit of model slicing.
Protecting your prized console from pizza-related disasters is essential. Pizza Hut’s solution? A foil tray measuring 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm to catch any crumbs or grease. Curiously, the folks at Pizza Hut opted for the metric system for this measurement—maybe it’s just a Canadian quirk. In any case, they advise you to fire up your console to heat up the PIZZAWRMR before sliding in your pizza. Medium slices from Pizza Hut seem to be the perfect size, by the way.
This genius marriage of pizza and gaming might remind you of past ventures like KFC’s KFConsole. Launched in 2020, what began as a playful concept with a chicken-warming compartment eventually turned into an actual device housing serious gaming power courtesy of an Intel NUC.
For those wanting to see the PIZZAWRMR in action, stay tuned for Pizza Hut’s livestream. It promises to be a fun spectacle—catch it on the 29th to see the PIZZAWRMR in all its warming, gaming glory! With brands constantly exploring unique ways to reach gamers, innovations like this continue to spark interest and creativity in the realm of fast food and technology.
