The team at Passione Playing Cards just relaunched Pizza Playing Cards, inspired by the famous Italian food and the worldwide appeal it has gained.
On the relaunch, founder Riccardo Conturbia told Kardify,
We updated the tuck case and the back design. Now the tuck case is more “traditional” and probably less extravagant. Since we changed the printer, we also felt that the old back was too derivative of the Rider Back and that’s why we reworked it to be more coherent with the faces and the new tuck design.
The goal of the deck is to represent fun, likable characters from all over the world cooking, serving or delivering pizza. Hence, the fully custom hand-illustrated court cards are represented by different nationalities- Italians, Americans, Asians, and the Middle East, each with their own unique narrative.
For example, the diamond “peperoni” suits are represented by Bob, who owns a restaurant in Kentucky. Known as “the King of pizza”, his “pepperoni” pizza is to die for! His beautiful daughter, Harper serves at the tables like a true Queen and it’s not uncommon to see customers flirting with her. Tyler, the Jack, is a fitness fanatic and sometimes he takes the long road to deliver your pizza, just to train more. But don’t worry, we were told that he’s never late!
For the relaunch, when you pledge for a tier with 4, 8 or 12 decks, you’ll get cool 1,2 or 3 “pizza boxes”, respectively. Brilliant! Pledge starts at $15 and Pizza Playing Cards will be printed by the Legends Playing Card Co.
