Website and marketing
The official website launched on February 9, 2021, to accompany the release of Cold Pizza.[1] The site included a form to enter one's name and street address, and three people in the Los Angeles area were chosen from the submitted names. The winners were delivered a pizza from Triple Beam Pizza and given a full set of The Midnight vinyl records by Tim McEwan.[2][3][4]
The Pizza Zone website also advertised merchandise for sale, which was available for a limited time following the Cold Pizza song release. Calling the phone number listed on the site (+1 (323) 553-1712) would play an automated voice message advertising Pizza Zone and a snippet of Cold Pizza, which can be heard below.
