The frozen pizza packaging perfectly replicates the design seen in the hit sci-fi show, complete with red and white checkering and a surfer riding a slice of pepperoni pizza. Each box features a different Stranger Things character on the reserve, plus a pair of pop-out glasses. These 80s-inspired pizzas can be found in several varieties, including Pepperoni, Multi-Meat, Supreme, and Jalapeño, which promise to make any Stranger Things viewing party more immersive.
