If you have ever wondered what it would be like to dine in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed pizza restaurant, that fantasy is about to turn into reality. On February 10, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Paramount is planning to expand the universe with a new animated series, books, and even restaurants.
Paramount to launch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-inspired pizza restaurant soon
Longtime fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are aware of the turtles’ obsession with pizza. So, the opportunity of dining at a pizza restaurant with themed decor is not one they would miss. Luckily for these fans, Paramount is reportedly planning to launch such pizzerias.
The Hollywood Reporter claimed that one such restaurant is expected to open in Santa Monica, California. Additionally, two international locations, Monterrey, Mexico, and São Paulo, Brazil, will also have these restaurants. The outlet has even stated that these restaurants will be open later this year. So, fans might not have to wait too long to grab a seat. The Skydance-owned studio is yet to reveal potential menus and operating partners.
Josh Silverman, Paramount’s president of global products and experience, said that this is part of a larger strategy to expand the brand’s presence across various sectors, including consumer products and location-based entertainment. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is full of action, humor and heart, and showcases relationships that have resonated with generations of fans worldwide. Continuing the Turtles’ adventures through products and experiences enables consumers to embark on their own journey,” said Silverman.
Later this year, a 30-episode CG-animated series, chronicling the training days of Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, is also set to release. Book lovers have reason to rejoice as well. Two books, titled Splinter’s Dojo and The Last Ronin, will be available soon. Further, Paramount has also signed a multi-licensing agreement with Mattel. New action figures, playsets and accessories, vehicles, games, collectibles, and role play will roll out in 2027.
