You'll be hard pressed to find a franchise that has found such longevity in such a ridiculous concept as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The "TMNT" series is loaded with bizarre quirks, with one of the most famous being the turtles' undying love for pizza. It's one of the most well-known examples of this foodstuff in modern cinema, but it's far from the only one.

Arguably the most iconic moment in Mike Myers[1]' career is his lampooning of product placement deals in "Wayne's World," a scene that starts with him taking a nice bite of some Pizza Hut with the logo on the box perfectly angled towards the camera.

Lenny's Pizza on 86th Street in Brooklyn became immortalized by "Saturday Night Fever," when John Travolta[2] asked for a couple slices from the pizzeria during the movie's famous opening credits sequence.

Pizza Hut also got some product placement in "Back to the Future Part II," which predicted that in the year 2015 we'd be buying dehydrated pizzas from the chain and using Black & Decker hydrators to cook them in seconds. Alas, we still have to use an oven for our frozen pizzas.

Most of the clips here might make you hungry, but not this one from "Spaceballs." The grotesque costume used for Pizza the Hutt, Mel Brooks[3]' parody of Jabba the Hutt, used actual cheese.

Spike Lee[4]'s breakthrough film, "Do The Right Thing," centered around Sal's Pizzeria in Brooklyn, an Italian-American-owned restaurant in a black neighborhood. Tensions and prejudices quickly emerge at this pizzeria, resulting in one of the most unflinching takes on racial relations in movie history.
