You've got a friend in Papa John's new menu collaboration.

It may not be Pizza Planet, but it's the closest we've come, as the chain announced the first-ever pizza collaboration in the Toy Story franchise history.

And it's arriving just in time for the fifth installment, Toy Story 5, hitting theaters on June 19.

Movie nights sound even better now with the Disney Pixar team-up, which includes several scrumptious menu items that will bubble up all those feelings of nostalgia.

First up, there will be a variety of limited-edition personal pizzas inspired by the iconic characters we've known since the 1995 film first debuted, including Buzz Lightyear and Woody.

You can choose from the following:

Space Ranger Roni: A double-pepperoni powerhouse featuring signature pizza sauce and real mozzarella.
Sheriff's Round Up: A BBQ tribute to Woody with smoky Southern-style sauce, grilled chicken, and onions.
Reach for the Pie: A savory mix of Italian sausage and banana peppers on signature sauce and real mozzarella.

Customers will also be able to grab the "Rootin' Tootin' Ranch," which is a brand-new dip cup that tastes like a pepperoni pizza in ranch form.

Additionally, there will be a custom-animated spot created by Pizar Animation, along with in-app games and limited-edition collectibles in select markets.

"This collaboration unites two iconic brands rooted in quality, creativity and bringing people together," said Jenna Bromberg, Chief Marketing Officer, Papa Johns, said in a press release shared with Parade.

"The joy and imagination of Toy Story, combined with our commitment to great pizza is an authentic way for us to create something special – and delicious – for our fans."

"Toy Story is one of the most globally loved franchises of all time, and pizza has a unique way of bringing people together across cultures," said Chris Lyn-Sue, SVP, General Manager of International at Papa Johns, added. "In the first pizza collaboration for a Toy Story movie release, we're celebrating Toy Story 5 across multiple markets, making this one of our biggest international collaborations to date."

The new items, using dough made from six simple ingredients and no artificial flavors or colors, will take you to infinity and beyond, landing on menus starting June 1 in the U.S., before rolling out across 42 global markets.

Prices will also start at $6.99.
