As depicted in The Midnight: Shadows, some locations also operate as auto repair shops in addition to serving pizza. Take-out and delivery are offered. Pizza Zone also sells Cold Pizza, the chain's line of ready-made frozen pizzas.

Pizza Zone is also featured prominently in The Midnight: Shadows graphic novel. Based in Los Angeles, this location is a combination pizzeria and auto service shop. Jason, the story's protagonist, is employed as a mechanic there.
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.
