We kick things off with this advertisement I found taped to my door many moons ago. The pizza on top is not really that special…your standard issue, cheese crust heart attack pan pizza. I wish to bring the lower pizza to your attention. That’s right, “Chili Dog” pizza. And here I was thinking that America had the most heart attack inducing pizza toppings in the world. Hot dogs and hot chili sauce on a pizza. Where do I sign up?
Next up we have cute as hell 문근영 (Moon Geun-Young) in a television for Mister Pizza. This particular ad features Miss Moon playing the role of a reporter discussing Mister Pizza’s latest offering Shrimp Nude Pizza. The commercial itself shows that someone in the company (or at least the ad company that created the ad) realized the name of this pizza is slightly rediculous. The pizza itself is also fairly rediculous as it features cream cheese and shrimp as toppings.
And last but certainly not least there was this advertisement (again taken off my front door long ago in a galaxy far, far away). While this ad does not offer up any other unusually pizza toppings, it does confirm that both potato and sweet potato are a common enough topping to be offered by several different delivery services. In addition, I personally like this menu due to the fact they each pizza was given it’s own cute mascot. Oh they are so cute!

In that commercial, is it my fevered imagination, or did they go so far as to pixillate the shrimp’s naughty bits? Hah!

Indeed they did.

You should give credit to Mr. pizza. It actually tastes as good as real pizza.
Even Rivers Cuomo said that he heard of Mr. Pizza, when he appeared on 배철수의 음악캠프. (Actually, brand name cannot be mentioned in radio program. Mr. Cuomo spoke out without hesitation, though. It was kinda funny.)

I do not deny that Mr. Pizza tastes good, but when was the dude from Weezer here? Was it back when his band was good, or after they started to suck?

After they started to suck…. That radio interview was in last December. Rivers was also here back in 2002 to watch the World Cup. And there’s a rumor that the headliner for some rock festival which is planned to be held in 인천 in July would be Weezer.

“After they started to suck”—like when Spinal Tap went to Japan? That was classic.

Mr. Pizza also offers “Shrimp Nude” pizza here in China. In fact, the pizza in question isn’t bad until you get to the outside crust, which tastes like cheesecake. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?
P.S. Does Mr. Pizza in South Korea also use the catchphrase “made for women” or is that unique to China?
