Pizza

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)
Edit
The 1987 cartoons are, along with the comics based on them, a TMNT universe in which the Turtles eat pizza In this series, the Turtles all share an intense affinity for pizza, particularly Michelangelo. They are hardly ever seen eating anything else; however they are very flexible with what toppings they like on their pizza, experimenting with all sorts of items in every possible combination including clams, chocolate, jelly beans and peanut butter.
The Turtles always get their pizzas by going on the streets to a pizza parlour, dressed so no one could see that they are mutant turtles. Sometimes all four go, sometimes only one goes.
Pizzas are also the Turtles weakness. Shredder is aware of this, as many of his plans to destroy them involve pizza (like the episodes The Case of the Killer Pizzas, Pizza by the Shred etc.).
In some other TMNT universes, the Turtles eat other things, mostly sushi.
Films
Edit
The turtles also eat pizza in the film series.
Turtles Forever (2009)
Edit
At the end of Turtles Forever, the Mirage Turtles, after having encountered the 1988 Turtles and their 2003 counterparts, suggest to go eat some pizzas. Since the Mirage Turtles never ate pizza in the Original Mirage Comics, they are obviously influenced by their future 1988 successors.
Video Games
Edit
Pizza is often used as a health power-up in the video games.
Trivia
Edit
- Remember all of those wacky pizza toppings the Turtles would put on their pizza in the 1987 cartoon? James Rolfe (better known as the Angry Video Game Nerd) got a few friends together and actually shot a video of the group trying the pizzas as seen in the show. The reactions were pretty much what you'd expect from such classics as an anchovy and hot fudge pizza would yield, though some of them weren't bad. The general consensus, though, was that Donatello actually has good taste in pizzas, while Michelangelo's were utterly horrible.
