A pizzeria in Huntsville is back in the news for its election-themed pizza delivery boxes. This time, Joe Carlucci, Valentina’s owner, elected to feature Donald Trump, JD Vance, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, and Jesus in and on the boxes.
According to Valentina’s, the restaurant has sold 4,000 of the 2024 election-themed boxes.
“Our last election box caused a lot of ruckus,” said Carlucci. “People either loved it and loved us, or they hated it and sent a lot of hate our way. As a small business owner, I love coming up with new ways to market our pizza, and this new box is just our way of supporting the United States of America and the man in the Oval Office.”
Carlucci also displayed the inside of one of the boxes showing a picture of Jesus and Trump in the Oval Office.
“If this offends you again, well, that’s gonna offend you more. God bless you, and God bless Donald Trump.”
Valentina’s will open today at 10:30 a.m. so customers can watch Trump’s inauguration on television.
During the presidential election, Valentina’s boxes featured Kamala Harris and Trump facing off with the caption “Make Pizza Not War.” Another depicted Trump with his iconic “Make America Great Again ” slogan combined with Harris, this time as the Grinch, next to her infamous comment, “How dare we say Merry Christmas?” Customers were able to choose from a blue box or a red box depending on their party affiliation.
“If this offends you in any way, then you are the problem,” Carlucci said at the time. “And we would still love you to come in, but you are the issue in the world because it is pizza. It is a box.”
