Cult-favorite New York slice brand joins forces with Megadeth for limited-edition Vic’s Pepperoni and exclusive opportunity to meet the band and take home signed merch.

Los Angeles, CA  (RestaurantNews.com)  Prince St. Pizza, the New York City-born pizzeria known for its Sicilian-style square pies and signature pepperoni-loaded slices, is joining forces with Megadeth on a limited-edition pizza created in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the release of the band’s Platinum album, Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying. Available Sept. 23 through Sept. 27 at Los Angeles locations, the collaboration will also give fans a chance to attend sold-out, An Evening with Megadeth at the Grammy Museum on Sept. 24 and meet the band.

Megadeth formed in 1983 by Dave Mustaine and spent the next four decades shaping what heavy metal sounds like. Fifty million records, a Grammy Award, 12 more nominations and nine Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200 later, the band still plays loud and fast for millions of global fans. They are currently on the sold out Run For Your Lives stadium tour with Iron Maiden.

The Vic’s Pepperoni is a New York-style round built on original pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella and all-beef pepperoni; packaged in a custom box designed for this promotion.

“Megadeth and Prince St. Pizza come from different worlds, but there’s a real connection in the way both brands have built loyal followings by staying authentic to who they are,” said Lawrence Longo, CEO of Prince St. Pizza. “For us, this partnership is about bringing those two worlds together in a way that feels genuine, unexpected and fun for the fans who have helped us become what we are today.”

With the show currently sold out, the pizza also becomes another way in. Rewards members who order a slice or a full-size Vic’s Pepperoni are entered to win one of five pairs, 10 seats in total, to the Sept. 24 performance. Entries close Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. No purchase is necessary to enter or win, and fans may also enter via e-mail in accordance with the official rules.

One of the five winners will also receive the grand prize of sitting down with Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari, James LoMenzo and Dirk Verbeuren to enjoy a slice of pizza before the show on Sept. 24. Another 20 will take home a collaboration box signed by Megadeth, packed with a Peace Sells T-shirt.

Founded in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood over a decade ago, Prince St. Pizza has become a national destination for its crave-worthy square pies, now served at 20 locations across the U.S. and Canada. For more information, visit PrinceStreetPizza.com.

About Megadeth

MEGADETH are always and forever the point of no return for metal. It would be nearly impossible to conceive where heavy music and culture would’ve gone without the band founded, fronted, and fueled by vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Dave Mustaine. The blast radius of their impact has only magnified since 1983. Thus far, they have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, earned a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations), generated billions of streams, notched ten Top 9 entries on the Billboard 200, including their first-ever No. 1 album with their acclaimed self-titled seventeenth studio release, and captivated millions of fans in arenas and stadiums across the globe. Their catalog spans indisputable classics such as the platinum Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (ranked No. 8 on Rolling Stone‘s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”), the platinum Rust In Peace, and the double-platinum Countdown To Extinction, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Following the success of Dystopia – which debuted in the Top 3 and earned the band’s first GRAMMY® Award for “Best Metal Performance” – and The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!, which returned the band to the Top 3 and received another GRAMMY® nomination, Megadeth reached a new career milestone with their self-titled album. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the record was praised as one of the strongest releases of their career, reaffirming the band’s ability to evolve while remaining one of heavy music’s most influential creative forces. Their influence can be felt practically everywhere – whether it’s Post Malone proudly sporting a So Far, So Good… So What! tattoo, Homer Simpson’s iPod displaying their name in The Simpsons, or Megadeth’s music and legacy appearing throughout film, television, gaming, and popular culture. Across five decades, the band has continually redefined heavy music, helping pioneer the thrash metal movement, shaping generations of musicians, and continuing to set the standard for artistic ambition and uncompromising musicianship. Beyond music, MEGADETH has successfully expanded into lifestyle and consumer brands. The band entered the beverage space with their signature beer À Tout Le Monde in 2016, followed by Saison 13 in 2019, with the brand serving more than 15 million pints worldwide. In partnership with Keystone, Megadeth entered a new era of global expansion for Megadeth Beer. Dave Mustaine has also extended his creative vision beyond the stage through House of Mustaine, the luxury wine brand he founded with his family. Blending music, culture, and fine winemaking, the collection debuted with the 2013 Symphony Interrupted Cabernet Sauvignon, inspired by Dave’s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony, and has since grown into an internationally recognized premium wine label.
