It started as an April Fools prank, but now Dr.
Oetker that the fish finger pizza should really exist.
The first photos of evidence are circulating on the internet.
It's an internet myth, the holy grail of fish fingers and pizza fans, and the object of dashed hopes time and again:
the Ristorante fish finger pizza
.
The company dr.
Oetker* himself had already trolled his fans with an April Fool's joke, but on February 16, 2022, a tweet caused the Twitter pizza community to riot again.
And in March 2022 it was finally officially confirmed in a press release:
Dr.
Oetker brings the fish finger pizza to German supermarkets.
Pizza Bastoncini di Pesce: The fish finger pizza from Dr.
Oetker should come after all
"It's true.
From 01.04.
is the #fishstickpizza (on the left in the picture), topped with Original Käpt'n @igloDeutschland fishsticks, available in stores as a limited edition.
No joke, I promise.
Share the good news,” read the tweet that no one thought would ever appear.
The picture shows the
Twitter user "Stullen-Andreas"
with a real Ristorante fish finger pizza in his hand, or at least with the box.
On it you can see: a spinach pizza with an unusual amount of white sauce, spinach and a total of six fish fingers arranged in a circle – plus the Italian imprint “
Pizza
Bastoncini di Pesce”
.
“Stullen-Andreas” fought for the unusual pizza for a long time and it seems only fair that he can now present it.
Homemade pizza:
With this tip, it will be as crispy as Italians.*

Oetker is coming: the date made fans suspicious
However, there was great skepticism in the Twitter community, the pain of past disappointments is too deep.
In the end, is the whole thing just another
April Fool's joke?
After all, the long-awaited pizza is supposed to hit stores on April 1 of all days.
This is how the comments turn out: "Guys if that's a joke again.
My heart can't take it," writes Fabian Dellwing.
"April 1st, what a coincidence...", (t) user "7_gscheid" senses the next blow.
The picture also looks rather unrealistic.
Either the
fish fingers are oversized
or the pizza is very small.
But dr
Oetker assures: "April first or not, this time it's REALLY not a joke.
Tie a knot in your blouse.”
The novelty has now also been officially confirmed.
In the press release by Dr.
Oetker says: "The #fish finger pizza is coming!
The name "
