Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Alex Bale’s Pizza Time Pizza ARG into the ol’ VCR. 

Alright, we all know what I’m about to say: I love me a good horror ARG. I’d seen the first video in the Pizza Time Pizza series a while back, but I didn’t pursue it further. However, now that I’m knee-deep in Alex’s other ARG, DON’T FEED THE MUSE, and Baz’s YouTube backlog, I’ve taken a bite out of Pizza Time Pizza. And I have to say, it tastes delicious. 

For those unfamiliar with Pizza Time Pizza, it’s an ARG from about five years ago told throughout 15 videos (including a video dissing Inside A Mind). At first glance, Pizza Time Pizza appears to be a run-of-the-mill cheap pizza joint…until you start reading the fine print. Throughout the first commercial, the fine print seems to hide something a bit more sinister. 

YUP, NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

Additionally, the testimonies seem a bit off, especially for an average pizza place with nothing to hide. In true Alex Bale fashion, the videos don’t just contain commercials, but rather other scenes to present and progress the narrative. 

As it turns out, Pizza Time Pizza is actually a Heaven’s Gate-esque cult, responsible for the disappearance of several locals. But who is running the cult? Who is the Pizza Man? Is the driving force behind this cult even human?

Well, friends, you’ll have to watch to find out (the amount of Little Caesars and Domino’s ads YouTube gave me while watching this series was both hilarious and concerning, so brace yourselves).

This video is simultaneously one of the creepiest and my favorite. 

If you aren’t familiar with Pizza Time Pizza, DON’T FEED THE MUSE, or any of Alex Bale’s other works, I highly recommend going down the YouTube rabbit hole. Alex’s content is some of the most entertaining, detailed, and all-around YouTube horror content out there. His storytelling is extremely unique, and his ability to not only create content to tell a story, but to weave an entire world around the content as well *chef’s kiss*. 

So, dear readers, spend a couple hours and go through the Pizza Time Pizza saga. Just, y’know, maybe order some ‘za from somewhere else.
