Dream Collab: Dominos and Pizza-loving Levy
Dan Levy is on fire these days after the hit of his series “Schitt’s Creek.” Levy is the son of icon Eugene Levy, but he has independently made a name for himself in the television industry. He started out on MTV Canada, and has since appeared in various shows and commercials. Then he created, produced and starred in one of the greatest shows of all time, “Schitt’s Creek.” The show has been on a winning streak in the last couple of years, winning all kinds of awards, and has earned admiration from people all over the world for the love, kindness and equality it promotes in every episode.
Dan Levy is a part of the LGBTQ community, and is a huge advocate for equality and anti-violence. He has 4.1 million followers on Instagram; 1.6 million followers on Facebook; and, 1.1 million followers on Twitter. If you know anything about Dan Levy, or you follow any of his social media, you likely know about his love of pizza. Almost every interview of Levy that I have seen or read, he has mentioned pizza! In fact the Schitt’s Creek cast have said the only fight they all have had was over pizza. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Annie Murphy who plays Alexis on the show, said to Dan, "Do you not remember this? We got into a heated argument about which dirty fast food pizza is the best and you got so upset that you ordered five different pizzas from five different places and made us have a taste test at lunch."
Levy also often talks about his lack of cooking ability, but one thing he does often and well is makes a cauliflower pizza. To help encourage people to stay home during the pandemic, in May 2020 Levy shared the recipe and did a live stream event where he made the pizza while fans could watch and ask questions.
As any pizza lover does, Dan often orders pizza and back in 2019, he had a negative experience with Domino’s. He had ordered a pizza delivery, and let’s just say when it arrived, it looked like the driver had enjoyed the pizza first.
This is where I think a dream collaboration could happen! Dominos could make up for that experience by working with Levy as an influencer. As mentioned above, Dan loves cauliflower pizza, and he is a huge advocate for sheltering in place during the pandemic. Dominos could work with Levy to make a cauliflower pizza, which is a healthier option and likely would be a popular item with pizza lovers who don’t want the calories of a regular pizza. They could also highlight their no contact deliveries they offer, trying to help keep everyone safe during the pandemic. Partnering with Dan Levy would be a great move for Dominos because it would show that they are choosing an influencer who is socially aware, who advocates for inclusivity and equality, and who of course loves pizza!
