Canadian families can now order a hot pizza pie with a side order of UNO.

Mattel entered into a partnership with Pizza Pizza and Pizza 73 locations across Canada to offer a special UNO Combo to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the popular card game. Now through April 18, Pizza Pizza customers that purchase the UNO Combo will receive a pizza, drinks, and an exclusive co-branded UNO deck. Then, sister brand, Pizza 73 will launch its own UNO Combo including from April 12-May 9th.

“For 50 years now, UNO has brought families and friends together through gameplay,” says Riza Javellana, head of marketing, digital and franchise for Mattel Canada. “It has become a cultural phenomenon with fans of all ages and a household staple in Canada. To celebrate this milestone, we could not find a better partner than Pizza Pizza and Pizza 73, because truly, there is nothing better than pizza to fuel a fun game for the entire family.”
