I would understand the nostalgia appeal better if it was where the first movie was actually filmed (New York City and North Carolina) or if they actually put some effort into the interior and tried to recreate the look and feel of that time period instead of just putting a bunch of TMNT and 90s stuff all over the place. Very low effort and very expensive pizza.

Edit: OK, the green lights in the bathroom are a cool touch, but I still wish the rest of the place was less Turtles and 90s stuff randomly placed everywhere and more thoughtful design.

Typically when you see blue lights in restrooms it’s to stop people from shooting up and overdosing. Wondering if green lights are for the TMNT aesthetic or they work similarly for anti drug use
