Pizza Planet truck
From Pixar Wiki
- Woody: "Buzz, you gotta come back! I...I found a spaceship! (pause) It's a spaceship, Buzz."
Buzz: "Now, you're sure this space freighter will return to its port of origin once it jettisons its food supply?"
Woody: "Uh-huh. And when we get there, we'll be able to find a way to transport you home."
Buzz: "Well, then, let's climb aboard."
Woody: "No, no, no, wait! Buzz! Buzz! Let's get in the back; no one will see us there."
Buzz: "Negative! There are no restraining harnesses in the cargo area. We'll be much safer in the Cockpit."
"Yeah, but, Buzz! Buzz! (pause) Buzz! (to himself) 'It'll be safer in the cockpit than the cargo bay.' What an idiot!" - —Woody and Buzz Lightyear, as they discuss how they will hitch a ride in a Pizza Planet truck
The Pizza Planet truck makes deliveries for Pizza Planet in Toy Story. It has made several cameo appearances in other Pixar projects.

Appearance
- The truck has a yellow coat of paint overall, although it is usually qutie faded and peeling. The hatch on top is white, and the rear bumper is a dark grey.
- The interior seats are a light brownish color.
- Most Pizza Planet trucks use a manual, or stick-shift, transmission.
- Most trucks also include a combination radio/casette tape player.
- Its license plate number in both Toy Story films is RES1536.
- There is a bumper sticker on the rear bumper that reads "How's my driving? Ha ha ha ha ha!". From a distance, this appears to be a "How's my driving? Call this number to report me" type of message.
- On the back hatch's glass is a small sticker which reads "KRAT FM". This may be a reference to something at Pixar.
- Additionally, the back hatch glass also has an even smaller circular sticker which has a "55" crossed out by a red "no" symbol.
- The back of the truck reads "YO", which, in combination with its overall appearance, shows strong evidence that the truck is in fact a Toyota (possibly Hilux model) truck.
- If this is the case, the "TO" and the "TA" have been worn away (either by hand or over time).
- In Toy Story 2, the Toyota issue is averted by the truck's owner's manual, which states that it is a "Gyoza" model. Gyoza is a Japanese word for the Chinese meal of meat-filled dumplings.
- If the "OTA" is removed from Toyota, you get "TOY".
- The gas cap is on the truck's left side.
- The exhaust pipe is on the truck's right side.
- The radio antenna is on the right side, at the front.
- There is a red and white plastic "Pizza Planet" rocket on the top of the truck. This is what Woody uses to convince Buzz that he's found a spaceship.
- The back hatch has five windows: two rounded ovular ones toward the front, two rounded rectangular ones toward the back, and one opening window on the back (which Woody climbs through).
Trivia
When Hamm is reading the truck's owner's manual, he remarks "I seriously doubt he's getting this kind of mileage." It is unclear whether he is referring to the way he thinks that particular truck's owner drives, or the way that Buzz, Slinky, Mr. Potato Head, and Rex are currently navigating/driving the truck.
