B.C. pizza shop offers deep dish challenge to Weezer frontman
The pizzeria’s video has drawn more than 12,000 Facebook views and 3,000 on TikTok as it seeks a response from Weezer.
Cameron McIntosh has officially challenged Rivers Cuomo to a deep-dish pizza bake-off at McBaked Pizza in Whiskey Creek, stating, "Well see whose deep dish is best."
After attending a recent Weezer show in Vancouver, Cameron decided to call out the band. "I was at one of your concerts recently in Vancouver," he said, noting they did not go far enough west.
Matt McIntosh, owner of McBaked Pizza, and his son Cameron developed the idea at their shop. "Wouldn't it be cool if we could get Weezer here?" Matt said, reflecting their deep-dish specialty.
The viral challenge has racked up more than 12,000 views on Facebook and 3,000 on TikTok. Matt plans to keep posting videos tagging Weezer to prompt a response from the band.
While Matt admits uncertainty about bringing Cuomo to the Island, the team intends to push the campaign as far as possible. The initial video included a guitar riff opener to amplify engagement.
