Prince St. Pizza Brings 'Home Alone'’s Iconic Little Nero’s To Life

Kevin McCallister would definitely approve. To celebrate the 35th anniversary of "Home Alone," Prince St. Pizza is teaming up with Disney+ for a nationwide pop-culture takeover that brings the film’s iconic Little Nero’s Pizzeria into the real world, but for one week only. From December 10–17, Prince St. Pizza locations across the U.S. will transform into the Disney+ Little Nero’s × Prince St. Pizza Pop-Up, complete with new packaging, nostalgic décor, and a menu tribute fans are already buzzing about: The Lovely Cheese Pizza, a temporary rename of the restaurant’s classic cheese pie inspired by Kevin’s unforgettable order. Yes, the same “lovely cheese pizza, just for me” moment is now yours.

'Home Alone' Magic Hits Prince St. Pizza As Studio City Turns Into Kevin’s Favorite Pizzeria

Every Prince St. Pizza location will be part of the collab, featuring Little Nero’s branding, limited-edition packaging, and themed details that will make customers feel like they’ve stepped right into the movie. But one location is going all-in.

For fans looking for the most immersive experience, the Studio City shop will offer a full interior and exterior transformation, essentially turning the storefront into a real-life Little Nero’s. Expect nostalgic set-inspired décor, a fully branded takeover of the store, photo-ready "Home Alone" details, and the original-style Little Nero’s delivery car parked out front. This is the closest fans will get to walking into Kevin McCallister’s universe without accidentally running into the Wet Bandits.

Chicago and Toronto locations will also feature special Little Nero’s visuals and branded elements to bring the celebration to life across North America.

'Home Alone' Still Reigns As A Holiday Classic 35 Years Later

More than three decades after its release, "Home Alone" remains one of the most beloved (and most rewound) holiday movies of all time. The 1990 classic introduced the world to Kevin McCallister, a troublemaking-but-lovable kid who finds himself defending his house from two bumbling burglars while surviving on microwavable mac and cheese and, of course, a “lovely cheese pizza, just for me.”

The film’s blend of slapstick humor, heartfelt family moments, and unforgettable quotes has kept it firmly cemented in pop culture for 35 years. From annual holiday TV marathons to endless recreations of Kevin’s iconic scream, "Home Alone" has become a generational tradition, the kind of movie parents pass to their kids, and their kids pass to theirs.

So when Prince St. Pizza and Disney+ set out to celebrate the anniversary, it only made sense to bring one of the movie’s most recognizable fictional brands to life.

Does Macaulay Culkin Still Watch 'Home Alone'? His Kids Certainly Do

While fans have long wondered whether Macaulay Culkin still revisits "Home Alone" each holiday season, it turns out his children might be the ones keeping the tradition alive. According to Culkin, his sons with fiancée Brenda Song, 4-year-old Dakota and his 3-year-old little brother, are already die-hard fans of the 1990 classic.

Macaulay revealed that Dakota has fully stepped into Kevin McCallister mode at home, proudly identifying with the character his dad made famous more than three decades ago. “He thinks he’s Kevin,” Culkin told E! News. The actor joked about quizzing his son on moments from the film.

He’ll ask Dakota, “Do you remember going down the stairs on the sled?” and the toddler confidently replies, “Mmhmm, yep. Sure do.”
Culkin even tested him on Kevin’s signature look: “Do you remember when he had yellow hair?” to which Dakota again claimed, “Uh-huh, yep.”

Dakota has gone so deep into McCallister territory that he now believes he personally “fought the burglars,” prompting Culkin to playfully call him out whenever the stories get too imaginative. "‘You're a lying liar who lies,'" he quipped to his son. "That was me!'"

Culkin Says It Took Time To 'Embrace' The Holiday Classic

For millions of families, watching "Home Alone" is as essential to the holidays as decorating the tree or leaving cookies out for Santa. But for Macaulay Culkin, the experience has always been a bit more complicated. The actor admitted that it took him years to fully accept his connection to the iconic Christmas classic, but now, he’s learned to lean into the nostalgia rather than run from it.

“I'm kind of embracing it and, at the same time, taking the piss out of it, too,” he shared, noting that being the face of one of the most beloved holiday films of all time comes with its own unique kind of pressure and pride.

Culkin acknowledged that it’s rare for an actor to be part of something so deeply tied to a specific time of year. “It's very rare when you have something that kind of encompasses an important day, and I'm a part of that,” he said, adding that the film’s cultural impact isn’t lost on him.

Ultimately, he’s chosen to celebrate the legacy rather than distance himself from it. “It's more fun to embrace it than to fight it,” Culkin explained.

A One-Week 'Home Alone' Takeover You Don’t Want To Miss

The pop-up arrives just in time for annual rewatches of the beloved film and aligns with Disney+’s ongoing holiday programming. Between collectible pizza boxes, nostalgic visual cues, and the debut of The Lovely Cheese Pizza, this collaboration is shaping up to be one of the most festive and delicious holiday activations of the season.

Fans have only one week to experience it before the transformation disappears faster than Kevin’s grocery cart at checkout.
