Stranger Things and Netflix have been known to provide many ways to interact with fans, either while promoting the new season or even after the season has dropped!

Of course us fans know the full season of Stranger Things 4 is now streaming, and I’m sure pretty much all of you have seen the final two episodes which make up volume 2. Anyone went for a full season rewatch yet?

Anyway, the fourth season introduced us to new character, Argyle. He’s Jonathan’s best friend in California who is mostly a stoner, but is very funny and provided many comedic moments this season. The Cali teen also works at Surfer Boy Pizza. And he’s very passionate about his job!

Just like any other business vehicle, the number to the pizza place is advertised on the van. So what exactly happens when you call the cheesy pie place?

What happens when you call the Surfer Boy Pizza number from Stranger Things?

In case you didn’t catch it, the number on the Surfer Boy Pizza Van is 805-457-PIZZA, or 805-457-4992. And when you dial those numbers in and call the number, it’s Argyle himself who’s on the other line!

You can’t converse with him, it’s just a recording. But it’s still a really neat way of being interactive with fans! I’m sure the series knew eagle-eyed fans would spot the number and would try to give it a call. So they turned it into a small, fun experience!

So when you get the pizza place on the other end, Argyle greets you but then has to put you on hold. But you still hear all that he has to say. And it’s a very interesting order. Here’s the about minute-long message:

"Surfs up! Surfer Boy Pizza, this is Argyle speaking. We make everything fresh here at Surfer Boy, except for our pineapple which comes from a can. Oh, can you hold dude?Brochacos, I just got another order before this dude on hold called it’s super specific, like weird specific. You ready? So first, it’s got to be a six inch crust and it’s gotta be super yellow. I don’t know, don’t ask me man. That’s what they said. And then we gotta get the red sauce, just up to the edge on the crust. So don’t go over. And next they want, and this is really important, four chops of white mozzarella, three habaneros nice and bright orange, two green pepper slices, gotta let the habanero sing man. And then one, just one, piece of blue cheese on top. Now I know it’s strange. Blue cheese is damn near mold. But hey, have you tried it? Try before you deny bro. Ok that’s all I got. Did you get the order? Yeah, cool.Ok, sorry brochaco thanks for waiting."

After that the call ends. So it’s a short and sweet way for fans of the science fiction show to feel like they’re a part of it in a small way.

Where can you buy Surfer Boy Pizza?

Did you know you can also buy Surfer Boy Pizza? If you’re in the U.S., Netflix collaborated with Walmart so you can purchase a frozen Surfer Boy pizza which comes in four flavors: pepperoni, supreme, meat lovers, or pineapple jalapeño. You can purchase them separately or in a variety pack. These pizzas may not be fresh like the ones Argyle makes, but they’re definitely worth trying out!
