Domino’s Pizza UK has joined in on gaming’s latest pile-on, cracking a pepperoni joke about Marvel’s Wolverine’s graphics, and the internet is loving it. The best part is that it is not the first time either, and if you were wondering what other jabs the famous pizza chain has made at PlayStation, we’ve got you covered.
The Marvel’s Wolverine Clip That Invited Backlash

Insomniac Games released Marvel’s Wolverine exclusively for PS5 on September 15, 2026, priced at $69.99. Critics were lukewarm, landing it at 77 on Metacritic, one of the lowest scores for a PlayStation first-party release this generation. Players are even more divided, with the game holding a 4.83 out of 5 rating on the PlayStation Store, with a really vocal group on X picking it apart.
Streamer Michael Does Life became one of the more visible voices in that pile-on. On September 15, he posted a clip of the game’s lava, calling it the worst-looking lava he’d ever seen in a video game and likening it to PS2 graphics.
None of this happened in a vacuum, and the scale of the backlash has as much to do with the hype surrounding the game’s launch as it does with the flaws themselves. Yes, admittedly there are plenty of other releases that ship with similar rough edges, but Wolverine is a high-profile project with a blockbuster budget, and its status as a PS5 exclusive made it an easy target the moment cracks appeared.

With all the context mentioned, Domino’s comes in next. The pizza chain’s UK regional account quote-tweeted the viral lava clip, writing that it wasn’t sure “whether to laugh at it or put pepperoni on it,” making fun of the lava’s chunky, orange-and-red texture looking more like a poorly topped pizza than a molten rock.
It’s not the first time Domino’s UK has jumped into a trending gaming or entertainment moment for a quick laugh. The account has built a reputation for cheeky jokes about everything that is trending on the internet, including big game releases, treating viral moments as free advertising real estate rather than just sticking to its image as a food brand. The account was also seen trolling PlayStation for going all-digital after 2028 now and then, and has been in the sights of every gamer since.
For Marvel’s Wolverine, the comment might sting more than usual. The game already got a mediocre score on Metacritic, and now has become a punchline for a pizza chain’s marketing team.
