On September 28, 2026, Xbox Wire announced The Emergence Pie, a Prince St. Pizza offer tied to Gears of War: E-Day. A qualifying pie or slice comes with a code for an in-game emblem, subject to the offer’s terms and availability.
What Happened
Xbox says The Emergence Pie is available September 28 through November 1, 2026, at Prince St. Pizza locations across the U.S. and in Toronto. It has spicy vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella, ground pepperoni, sausage, and Carbone Fine Food Aglio e Peperoncino Italian Chili Crisp.
Xbox Wire says each Emergence Pie or slice purchase includes a unique code for a Gears of War: E-Day pizza emblem. A slice qualifies, so you don’t need a whole pie. If you’re going for the emblem, ask the location to confirm code availability before ordering; a qualifying purchase should not be treated as a guarantee that promotional supplies remain. Keep the code that comes with your purchase.
The collaboration also includes a limited-edition Prototype Lancer pizza cutter. It went on sale through Prince St. Pizza’s merchandise store starting September 28. As checked September 30, the official merchandise listing shows US$60 and sold out. Check that listing for any later availability; do not plan on buying one immediately.
Gears of War: E-Day is set to launch October 6, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Steam. The pizza offer starts before launch and runs past it. The announced food-purchase reward is an in-game emblem code; arrange game access separately.
Who the promotion affects
If you own an Xbox Series X or Series S, the extras to watch are the E-Day emblem code and the nearby game launch. If you’re visiting Prince St. Pizza, check the location, dates, and code availability first. Xbox lists U.S. locations and Toronto for this offer.
PC players have two announced launch options: Xbox on PC and Steam. Microsoft confirms day-one access with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass beginning October 6, on the official game page. Check whether your existing subscription covers the platform you intend to use before buying a separate copy.
How It Stacks Up
Buying the game and joining the pizza promotion are separate decisions, with different dates and terms. Xbox Wire lists a $69.99 standard pre-order price for Gears of War: E-Day. Buying an Emergence Pie or slice is the announced route to the emblem code. Check your location for the pie or slice price; the separate $60 cutter was sold out when checked September 30.

The announced platform list tells you where E-Day is set to launch. It doesn’t tell you how each version will run or how the game compares with other shooters. Those details matter if you’re choosing where to spend $69.99.
The pizza’s ingredients, dates, and eligible locations give you something to decide on now. Treat the emblem as an extra if you want the pizza. Wait for game reviews or verified performance details before using them to choose a version.
Our Take
Verdict: Wait before buying the game; consider the pizza during its limited window. The Emergence Pie has a clear ingredient list, eligible locations, and a November 1 end date. If it sounds good and a participating Prince St. Pizza is nearby, a pie or slice is your route to the emblem code. Check the terms and code availability before you go.
The $69.99 Gears of War: E-Day pre-order can wait if Game Pass access might change your choice. Ultimate and PC Game Pass already have confirmed day-one access. If you plan to buy a copy, the announced October 6 launch covers Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Steam. The sold-out cutter is a separate collectible, not something to count on finding with your pizza order.
