Porn, Delivery or Pickup?
Jul 16th, 2007 by Kirby
Patrons must be 18 years and older to order from Porno Pizza, which delivers pornographic material inserted under every pizza. The venture, the brainchild of local entrepreneur Corey Wildeman, is raising eyebrows in the Manitoba capital.
“We cater to certain crowds,” Wildeman told CBC News, adding that he realizes not everyone would be sold on the idea.
“I’m pleased to see that it might not be everybody, but it’s most people,” he said with a laugh.
Wildeman said the idea of including pornographic photos with pizza is a marketing gimmick designed to sell more pies. And the gimmick is legal: customers even have to show identification to the delivery person at the door, proving they are 18 or older. “They have to make sure they’re selling to someone who’s of age,” lawyer Ian Berger said. “But other than that, get a little something extra with your pizza — there’s nothing wrong with that.”
While Porno Pizza crosses no legal boundaries, it tested some people’s social borders, with some titillated by the concept … and others, not so much.
One woman told CBC News that the woman depicted in the Porno Pizza insert was “too naked,” while another said porn is “something I wouldn’t expect to have anything to do with pizza.”
But surprisingly, Wildeman said, many of his customers are women.
“So I’m pretty pleased to see that a demographic that some people might think that we’re offending is actually a lot more open to the concept than society would think,” he said.
Wildeman said if enough people are turned on to the Porno Pizza concept, he has the naming rights for what could be a national franchise.

How interesting is that? What a funny business idea… How long do you think this will stay a float? Would a business like this survive in the US?

I wonder what there pricing structure is like. I guess if it’s the same as other places many people would go for just the novelty.
If it’s like half of the porn I saw as a teenager then I think it may well put me off my food so I hope it’s (if it’s possible!) tasteful
I think i’ll add a pic i just found detailing price structure.. I’m there with you, if the price structure was the same as the others i would probably opt for it over Pizza Hut or Dominos.
Yeah, tasteful porn? I seriously don’t think that’s possible… thanks for the comment Forest…
I’ve read this in the news. I guess some people will do anything just to make a sale.
Maybe, i think it’s a cool gimmick, adds a new spin on selling pizza.
If the pizza isn’t that good, well, at least you’ll have the porn as proof of purchase and novelty. With the price structure it seems as though customers are paying to have dinner and a movie delivered to their door… what a sad Friday night…
