Sun Basin Soap Club Product Copy: ​

 

The Trailblazer is

A steaming hot mug at daybreak. The scratch of pencil on paper. Plans upon plans upon plans, outlined in neat checklists. Eyes turned forward, no detail unobserved. An unseen curve in a winding trail and the thrill to discover what is beyond.

 

The Daydreamer is

Lazy puffball clouds drifting above a picnic blanket. The clink of settling ice in a glass of lemonade. Half remembered melodies from a neighbor's yard. Cool grass prickling the backs of thighs, and a cinnamon sun warming an upturned face. 

The Forager is

Hands pressed to the ground, fingers flexing into cool topsoil. The building wind in a pine forest. A squirrel chirping at a disturbance. The brittle blue dome of the sky casting long shadows on the ground. A sprout peeking through leaves and winter debris, pale green life beginning again. 

The Enigma is

The liminal air of a spring evening, potential held in every breath. Rain smearing panes of glass, the wind coaxing each drop into a vertical river basin. Birdsong when the clouds have cleared. Steam from the pavement. A smooth rock, polished by 100 years of tides. 

The Navigator is

Waves cradling a weathered boat. A globe of stars, pointillism as a glittering map. Steady eyes, searching. Open fields with horizons obscured by humid haze. A clasping hand, firmly pulling forward. Inexorable motion, determined cessation.

​

Thee Wolf John Shirt: 
This is the wrong time of year to be out in the woods. A wind, heavy with the scent of decaying leaves, rattles through the branches around you, and the thick blanket of night presses at the sides of your vision until the only thing you can see is the moon hanging in solitary splendor—a single, cold spot of light. It catches your eye, like a big pizza pie, and in the distance you hear a high and lonely howl. Dread creeps down your spine, and you know—you are not alone in this forest.

Circles Pizza John Shirt: 
It’s circles all the way down folks. Little did John know when he started his meditative circle journey it would circle back around into Pizzamas merch, but here we are. Keeping in theme, this shirt's proceeds go to the PIH COVID fund.

Ice Dye Pizza John Shirt: 
Classic Pizza John is getting a trendy twist on this incredibly soft, ice-dyed t-shirt. 

 

Pizza Party Hat John: 
Look deep into this Pizza John’s eyes. Do you see it? The excitement and joy of thousands of school children who just discovered a pizza party is in their future gaze back out at you. This shirt is a powerful object, and as such, must be treated with the utmost respect.

Melancholy John Shirt: 
“...But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of globed peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes...”

Ode On Melancholy - John Keats

Anyways, that’s how we feel when we drop a slice of pizza on the floor.

Nature John Shirt: 
In celebration of John getting out into nature, we’ve made a shirt where nature becomes John. Oh how the tables have turned. 

Pencil 'Stache Shirt: 
We’ve come to know and love the classic Pizza John mustache, but have you considered a dashing pencil ‘stache? How stylish.

​

Pizza John Crew Socks: 
Kick your feet up in front of a roaring fire in the full and comforting knowledge that these Pizza John pizza socks will keep your feet warm and toasty during the cold winter months.

Pizza John Face Mask:

​

Pizza John Fanny Pack: 
The 80’s are back baby, and this fanny pack is riding the wave. Strap it round your waist and rock the ironic mom look—right until you start forcibly putting sunscreen on your friends face and realize that you have in fact, become the mom.

​

La Pizza Mort:
Abandoned by time, a skull lies on the forest floor. Mushrooms, a controversial topping in life, overtake it. Glasses with empty lenses hang askew, and in defiance to the years which have made flesh irrelevant, a mustache clings bravely to the upper lip. The forest does not consider the identity of the skull as it sends creeping grass and bugs to engulf it, but long ago someone carved a sign into the forehead.

 

For remembrance? A warning? 

 

Whatever the intent, one word is caught on the wind. It plays through the trees and rustles the grasses. An empty forest rings with one final word: Pizza

​

Live Laugh Pizza:
Finally, a Pizza John you can bring home to your mother. Designed by Mona Danesh

​

Old Man Yells at Pizza:
These dang kids and their dang pizzas! In my day we walked both ways uphill, backwards, and hopping on one leg to get our pizza. By the time we got home it was ice cold and solid as a particularly hard rock, and you know what? We were grateful for it! But sure, have your luxuriantly soft pizza shirt. Bah!

​

Petal Pizza John:
Pizza John is returning to his natural environment! Truly, nature is healing. Design by Erick Ramos

​

Pizza John patch:
In this, the twenty-first year of the twenty-first century, we mark the tenth anniversary of Pizza John — long may he gaze from the screens of our devices and grace the surfaces of our apparel.

​

We sing praises of his mustache — though of brief existence it contained the spark of the muse, which the great Valerie Barr reached forth and grasped, thus bringing into existence the face of faces, the wide eye’d stare, the haunting visage of John of Pizza.

 

Behold, and heed the words: Don’t Forget to be Awesome.

Finally the pin subscription you've all been waiting for, six months of nerdfighteria in-jokes as pizza toppings! What's that? You haven't been asking for the Green brothers as green peppers? Well that's awkward. 

​

Pizza John Zine:
In honor of ten years of Pizzamas we opened the floor up to the incredible community of nerdfighters and asked them to send us their very own Pizza Johns! There's only one catch, they couldn't look at a John Green, a Pizza John, or any pizzamas related material before hand. Want to see how well they remembered his face?

Cheese Rainbow John Shirt

We know it's cheesy, but who could possibly resist this delectable pizza rainbow?

If it Drives, I lives Shirt

To quote the New York Times best selling author, recipient of the Michael L. Printz Award, winner of the 2009 Edgar Award, and two time finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, John Green, “You know what, it's like I always say, if it rides I lyv- live. Lyve? I’m working on a pun.”

Onion John

Sometimes there are onions on pizzas. Which means that pizzas are a lot like ogres. Which makes this shirt completely normal if you think about it. 

Pizza Box face John

Always check the box when you’re done eating pizza. If you’ve been very good for the last 365 days, the face of Pizza John might just appear in the grease and speak unto you good tidings, followed by at least one cryptic statement in a language lost to the memory of mankind. After dutifully recording the sage words, please do check your local municipality rules on recycling pizza boxes, it can vary from facility to facility. 

The Pizza Johns Starting Lineup Shirt

As we all know, batting power is stored in the mustache. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. 

Wolf Pizza John Shirt

“Hello yes, is this Pizza John’s Pizza Parlor? Yes? Well, I don’t mean to alarm you, but it seems like there might be a wolf in your dining room… No, I’m fairly certain that it isn’t a large dog. How? Well, the glowing red eyes are a bit of a clue. I - No, I can’t just ignore it, it's got a slice of my pizza in its mouth, which, incidentally, has a melting face on it… This is normal here? Can I speak to your manager?”

La Pizza Mort Screenprint

This pizza themed reminder that we are all but brief sparks in the natural cycle of life was SO popular that we resurrected it as a print! We all need a memento mori to keep us humble, and it might as well be a skull with a pizza on it.  

Neoclassical John Desktop Bust

Throw your inspirational desktop bust of Alexander Pope out the door, there’s a new neoclassical author in town! This limited edition, six inch resin figurine of John is perfect to watch over your artistic endeavors. Note the wide eyed stare and the signature stress hair poof, this is a statue that really understands the creative process.

New Car Pizzamas Air Freshener 

Does your car stink? Never fear, because now you can mask it with the Pizzamas approved scent of rosemary! We tried to make it pizza scented, but were told that packing thousands of intensely pizza scented items in one warehouse might count as an olfactory crime. 

Pizza John Cardigan 

Now this is a cardigan worthy of wearing during crisp autumn days on campus. Use it to enhance your academia aesthetic. Wear it to show pizzamas pride at a homecoming game. Confuse that attractive someone across homeroom with colors that aren’t even remotely related to your school. The opportunities are endless. 

Pizza John Floor Rug

Slowly, DFTBA inches closer to our end goal of being able to furnish the break room with exclusively Pizza John decor. It introduces the new hires to what we’re about real quick. 

 

This rug is hand tufted with plush maroon and heathered gray fibers so it’s easy on the feet and on the eyes. 

Pizza John Hand Towel Set

Legend has it that the manufacturers held these unmarked towels up to a photograph of Pizza John and his stare was so powerful that he imprinted himself into the tufts. Grab yours today!

Pizza John Magnet 

We’re really leaning into the vintage angle this year, and what is more vintage than a raised rubber magnet? Put it next to all of those road trip ones you got in the ‘90s. 

Pizza John Soccer Jersey 

Move over AFC Wimbledon there’s a new team on the pitch. The Pizza Johns might be a fictional team, but we went all out and made some professional jerseys. Take your pick of home or away, and cheer the Pizza Johns on all the way through the season. 

Pizza John Washi Tape

Ok, be honest with us, what is washi tape actually for? We haven’t been able to come to a consensus, but whatever you decide to stick this gorgeous tomato tape to will look absolutely fabulous.

Tomato Pizza Cat Nalgene

You’ve heard of Pizza John, but this year we’re proud to introduce Pizza CAT! Look at its little tomato face, those cheeks are positively squishable.

 

Pizza Parlor Pin Sub

Last year you got toppings for your pizza, but now you need a place to eat them in! Sign up for the Pizza John Pizza Parlor subscription, and get six pieces of pin decor to make your very own pizza parlor. (Please don’t actually eat last year’s pins.)

 

Shirt Lovers Bundle

Did you know, if you purchase this bundle, wear every shirt at the same time, stand on one foot, and then repeat Pizza John three times into a dark bathroom mirror, John Green will appear and give you the rundown on how all the profits from Pizzamas go to help Partners in Health reduce the maternal and infant mortality rate in Sierra Leone?

 

The Works

What good taste you have! This is the bundle for the discerning collectors, the adventurous eaters, the explorers of the gastronomique. The true Pizzamas consissours among us if you will.
