For years people have questioned if pineapple belongs on pizza. Well, now some will question if it belongs in a can of Pepsi.

The soda company has teamed up with Little Caesars for an exclusive re-release of its popular pineapple-flavored soda.

Starting July 17, and for a limited time only, Little Caesars customers can get the summery flavor of Pepsi Pineapple in a one-of-a-kind 16 ounce can, featuring a co-branded never-before-seen design nodding to the refreshing combination of Pepsi cola and sweet, fruity notes of pineapple.

The pizza chain will offer customers an exclusive deal to celebrate its latest new partnership with Pepsi. Starting on July 17, customers can get a 16-ounce Pepsi Pineapple and a large two-topping thin-crust pizza for $9.99.

The offer is only available online through the Little Caesar app or website.

“There’s always a passionate discussion surrounding pineapple on pizza,” Greg Hamilton, the chief marketing officer at Little Caesars, said in a statement. “The Pineapple Pair-Up combo gives our customers an exclusive opportunity to enjoy the tropical taste on their thin crust pizza, in their Pepsi, or both.”

Pineapple Pepsi debuted for a limited time in 2020 and was an instant hit among customers. The soda combines “Pepsi cola and sweet, fruity notes of pineapple,” according to a news release.

The latest soda launch also includes an exclusive, never-before-seen can design.
