Tombstone Pizza is the official pizza of Halloween! Yes, it's true because it says it right on the package. I believe it was in 2009 when they started this clever slogan. With a name like Tombstone it makes perfect sense. You know why Tombstone is called Tombstone? Back in the early 1960's, two brothers owned a tavern named Tombstone Tavern where they made their signature pizza pie. Naturally, it was across the street from a cemetery. Now to these pizza hungry monsters! I think I was able to snag all the monster label/inserts from 2009 to 2016.
Now if only they would have invited the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Invisible Man. At least we got wild eyed Grim Reaper devouring a 4 meat pizza!
Now for some pics of 'em in the wild!
Here's the commercial for the Halloween pizzas!
In 2017 they changed the design with some great artwork by Nathan Shelton of Ant Creations. Unfortunately I only found two of the three designs and missed out on the zombie one.
The next few years Tombstone connected with some licensed properties like Hotel Transylvania 3 and The Addams Family 2. This year it looks like they're sitting Halloween out. Hopefully they're planning on something fun and exciting for next year.

Funny, i always thought Tombstone pizza got its name from the town of Tombstone of western shoot-em-up lore -- it never occurred to me that it was because of actual tombstones. i'm impressed with the sheer number of designs for the labels for this. great stuff!
Cool that they have stuck with Halloween designs. Makes it an event, even for frozen pizza!
What do you want on your Tombstone? A Halloween design.
