Pizza Hut Unveils New PIZZAWARMR: A Free 3D-Printable Device Using PlayStation 5’s Heat to Keep Your Pizza Hot

Pizza Hut has taken a creative leap by combining the world of delectable, cheesy pizza with the vibrant universe of console gaming, introducing the PIZZAWRMR. This quirky invention is meant to perch atop your Sony PlayStation 5, keeping your favorite takeaway treat warm and ready as you dive into your gaming adventures. But before you get too excited, this isn’t an item you’ll find on store shelves or win in a contest. Instead, Pizza Hut Canada is offering something unique: they’ve released the 3D printing files for free, allowing anyone interested to download, tweak, and print this fun gadget.

The design takes cues from the restaurant’s iconic red roof. Think of it as a laptop-like lid that flips open, providing easy access to slices of pizza that can be neatly stored inside. Cleverly, the device uses the hot air expelled by the console to keep the pizza warm—what the Pizza Hut marketing team describes as a clever blend of science and engineering serving a nobler cause.

When you download the files, you’ll receive STL files and a PDF guide as part of the package from Pizza Hut Canada. These include the design files for the main body, the left stand, the lid, and other components. The guide explains that the design fits a console with rear ventilation measuring precisely 11.7 x 1.31 inches. For those getting technical, ensure your 3D printer has a bed size of at least 15 x 15 inches, which may mean cutting down the model unless you’re equipped with something like an Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, Prusa XL, or an Elegoo Orange Storm Giga.

Additionally, to safeguard your pricey console from crumbs and grease, Pizza Hut advises users to place a 34 x 23 x 2.5 cm foil tray inside the PIZZAWRMR. As for the dimensions being in metric, well, it’s probably just another Canadian quirk. Once set up, you fire up your gaming session to preheat the PIZZAWRMR before popping in your medium pizza slices, which should fit perfectly, according to Pizza Hut.

Using clever marketing to capture the gaming audience isn’t entirely new for fast-food chains. Remember back in 2020 when KFC gathered attention with the KFConsole? What began as a joke morphed into a functioning Intel NUC-powered console complete with a small drawer dedicated to keeping fried chicken warm.

If anything’s certain, it’s that the marriage between gaming and fast food continues to bring entertaining, if slightly impractical, innovations to light.
