In May of 2022, Domino's Pizza ran a Stranger Things-themed promotional campaign, in advance of the fourth season's release. A "Mind Ordering" app could be used to order pizza with a throwback Eighties-themed pizza box design. "Mind Ordering" branding was also displayed on the Domino's website and temporarily added to their "pizza tracker" utility. Notably, a three-minute cinematic advert featuring Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin formed a key part of the campaign.
The themed box featured multiple references to Hawkins and the wider world of Stranger Things, as well as "The Noid", Domino's advertising mascot from 1986.
Easter Eggs[]
- "Have You Seen The Noid?" - The Noid was last spotted near Hawkins National Laboratory. Believed to be equipped with zany gadgets and a vendetta against hot pizza. Stay vigilant, and protect your pizza.
- "'This message was brought to you by the Hawkins Police Department." - Hawkins Police Dept. Indiana
- Hawkins National Laboratory - "Seeking volunteers to participate in Mind Ordering Experiments"
- "If there's still pizza in this box, it's in the Upside Down now."
- "Proud Sponsor of the Hawkins High School Tigers"
- "Visit our new store at Starcourt Mall."
