When Pizza Met Platform: A Campaign That Delivered
What do you get when you combine London’s bustling Euston Station with a passion for pizza? A campaign that stopped commuters in their tracks—and made them crave a slice. At London Underground Advertising, we teamed up with the brilliant minds at Pizza Pilgrims to launch a bold, tasty campaign right where it matters most: the ticket gateways.
Forget QR codes no one scans. This was advertising you couldn’t miss—literally. As thousands of travellers filtered through the entry barriers, they were greeted by vibrant, cheeky branding that captured the energy and flavour of Pizza Pilgrims in seconds.
Why Euston Was the Perfect Slice
Euston isn’t just a station. It’s a Zone 1 juggernaut, connecting Londoners to key destinations across the capital and beyond. With a daily footfall that rivals most stadiums, it offered the perfect launchpad for a campaign that needed eyes—and lots of them.
Targeting Euston meant reaching a crowd of commuters, students, tourists, and business travellers. That’s a full pizza oven of potential customers—ready to bite.


Ticket Gateways: Small Format, Big Impact
Pizza Pilgrims opted for Digital Gateway advertising—an underrated format with maximum visibility. These slim digital screens sit atop the gates themselves, catching attention at that crucial “tap-in/tap-out” moment.
In short: no skipping, no scrolling, no chance to ignore it.
And when the creative is fresh, funny, and food-related? Game over. Or in this case, dinner time.
Designing Ads That Make You Hungry
This wasn’t just about getting a logo on a screen. The campaign visuals were crafted to mirror Pizza Pilgrims’ bold branding—full of cheeky humour, Neapolitan colours, and mouth-watering imagery.
It felt like a pizza party right in the heart of the Tube.
The messaging was simple and effective: “Pizza this way.” Commuters didn’t just notice it—they remembered it, craved it, and in many cases, ordered it.
Underground Ads That Actually Work
If there’s one thing this campaign proved, it’s that London Underground advertising works—especially when you make it fun, bold, and location-smart.
By choosing a Station Takeover approach in a format that couldn’t be missed, Pizza Pilgrims saw:
- An uplift in local brand recall
- Increased footfall in nearby branches
- Long-lasting mental availability among commuters
It’s the kind of visibility you just don’t get with billboards lost in traffic or digital ads drowned in cat videos.
