‘Breaking Bad’: Inside the Iconic Pizza Throwing Scene That Became a Popular Prank in


With so many epic moments in the beloved television drama Breaking Bad, it’s hard to pick a favorite. But fans have always been partial to one of Walter White’s many tantrums. Over the years, the famous pizza throwing scene has become an ongoing prank that shows no sign of slowing down.

Why did Walt throw
the pizza
? Why was the pie unsliced? And most importantly — how many
delicious pizzas have been wasted for the sake of a laugh?

The real reason Walter White threw the pizza

Breaking Bad’s pizza throwing came courtesy of season
3, episode 2, “Caballo sin Nombre.”  It
happens when Walter White arrives at his home bearing pizza for his family, but
his wife Skyler locks him out because she just found out he’s been secretly selling
meth
and lying to her about it.

The road
to ruin
for Walt was paved with good intentions. At first, he wanted to
ensure his family had enough funds for their future in the wake of his terminal
cancer diagnosis. But his methods of making meth and distributing it with his
former student, Jesse Pinkman, were ultimately flawed.

When Skyler locks Walt out, he takes the pizza he purchased
and tosses it like a frisbee out of frustration. It lands perfectly on the roof
of the White family home.

Bryan Cranston nailed the pizza throwing in a single take

Time reported that the Breaking Bad prop department had a huge stack of pizzas ready to go in case actor Bryan Cranston didn’t quite hit the target on his first take. But then he surprised everyone and perfectly landed the whole pizza on the roof the first time he tried.

Walt made the pizza launching look so easy that it spurred
hundreds of copycats. Unfortunately, the homeowners are not pleased about that.

The White’s house in Breaking Bad wasn’t just a set —
it’s a real home that belongs to the Padilla family. In 2010, they spoke up
about how unamused they were by constantly having pizzas lobbed at their home.

“We’ve had pizzas on our roof. We’ve had pizzas on our driveway; pizzas until we’re sick of looking at pizzas,” homeowner Francis Padilla told NPR. “I’ll sit outside with a shotgun in a rocking chair. You know, like Granny from Beverly Hillbillies.” According to Padilla, up to 200 people per day would arrive with pizzas to throw.

And Vince Gilligan wasn’t happy about it. “There is nothing
original or funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady’s roof,” he said during
a Better Call Saul podcast interview. “It’s been done before. You’re not
the first.”

The mystery of the unsliced pizza

Eagle-eyed Breaking Bad fans noticed that the pizza
Walt throws has one peculiar quirk — it’s not sliced. But apparently, the
decision was intentional and referenced…
