Pizza Hut has creatively combined the much-loved elements of cheesy, bready pizza and the gaming world with its innovative new gadget, the PIZZAWRMR. This device is cleverly designed to perch atop your PlayStation 5, ensuring your favorite hot snacks stay warm while you’re deeply immersed in your gaming adventures. Interestingly, this isn’t something you’ll find in stores or even as a special giveaway. Instead, Pizza Hut Canada is offering the 3D printing files for free. Anyone interested simply needs to sign up, after which they can download, tweak, and print their very own PIZZAWRMR.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic red roof of the pizza chain, the PIZZAWRMR has a lid that opens much like a laptop, making it easy to grab a slice mid-game. Pizza Hut has explained that it can fit several slices at once, utilizing the heat exhaust from the PS5 to keep the pizza warm. It’s a playful nod to science and engineering being used for unexpected yet delightful purposes, as gleefully pointed out by Pizza Hut’s marketing team.
When you download the files from Pizza Hut Canada, you’ll receive STL files and a helpful PDF guide. These will assist you in printing the body, lid, manifold, and stand. The guide specifies that the design is tailor-made for PlayStation 5s with particular rear ventilation dimensions—11.7 x 1.31 inches, to be precise. For those planning to print this at home, be aware that your 3D printer will need a minimum bed size of 15 x 15 inches to accommodate the PIZZAWRMR. This means your average 3D printer might not cut it unless you modify the model—options like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max or Prusa XL are recommended.
One practical consideration for using the PIZZAWRMR is preventing crumbs and grease from damaging your console. Pizza Hut suggests placing a foil tray (measuring 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm) inside the warmer, keeping things neat and tidy. The use of metric measurements might seem a bit out of place, but it could be catering to Canadian preferences. Their final tip in the PDF is to start heating your PS5 during gameplay before placing your pizza slices inside, with medium-sized slices from Pizza Hut fitting perfectly.
This isn’t the first time a fast-food company has tapped into gaming culture for some fun buzz. Back in 2020, KFC took a similar route with the KFConsole—an Intel-powered gaming console shaped like a chicken bucket, complete with a warming drawer for fried chicken.
Such ventures are clever marketing strategies designed to engage gamers in fun and unexpected ways. If you’re intrigued, stay tuned for Pizza Hut’s live stream demonstration of the PIZZAWRMR in action.
