This announcement underscores General Mills’ continued
investment in building iconic brands, making everyone’s favorite
epic and snackable pizza bites the first in the frozen pizza
category to advertise in the Big Game.
“Totino’s Pizza Rolls has been an iconic brand for decades,
bringing people together with a delicious and affordable snack, and
our Big Game announcement underscores General Mills’ continued
investment in building bold brands during key consumer moments,"
said Doug Martin, Chief Marketing Officer for General Mills. “We
know Totino's is well-positioned to win at game time, and the Big
Game is the ideal moment for Totino's Pizza Rolls to connect with
fans and elevate their snacking experience with an incredible value
and delicious taste.”
As one of America’s favorite game day foods*, pizza makes every
watch party complete — especially when it comes in a hot and
delicious bite size snack. During the 2024 regular season playoffs,
Totino’s dynamic ad campaign taking on “Big Pizza” resulted in the
second highest sales month in Totino's 30-year history – marking a
significant milestone for the brand. Now, on the heels of a fall
campaign highlighting the value of 10 Totino’s Pizza Rolls for
about $1**, the brand’s biggest moment yet will bring together
pizza and football fans through Totino’s Pizza Rolls’ distinct
humor.
“There’s no better way for us to showcase the epicness and
absurdity of Totino’s Pizza Rolls than with a hilarious spot on
football’s largest stage,” said Blake Holman, Business Unit
Director for Totino’s Pizza Rolls. “As the brand known for showing
up in epic ways and always bringing something fresh and exciting,
we keep consumers coming back for more with pizza snacks that meet
today’s demand for convenience, affordability and taste. Pizza
lovers can buckle up for a unique surprise from Totino’s Pizza
Rolls this February!”
There’s no need to wait until the Big Game though, as Totino’s
Pizza Rolls reign supreme for the entire season. With classic
flavors like pepperoni and innovative offerings like orange chicken
or brand-new spicy options, there’s a pizza roll snack for every
taste preference.
Totino’s Pizza Rolls is also bringing back “Hang Time,” its
first Spanish-language ad for the Big Game, which debuted in 2024.
The spot will air as a separate Spanish-language ad on Fox Deportes
and Telemundo Deportes during February’s Big Game.
Big things are coming, but fans will have to hold tight for
more! Stay tuned for teasers in the coming months by visiting
Totinos.com and follow Totino’s on Instagram, TikTok, and
Facebook.
