"One of the buildings on the new Eastwood map has a pizza on the roof of its garage--this is pretty clearly a reference to the show's 2010 Season 3, Episode 2 episode, "Caballo sin Nombre." In this episode, Walter (Bryan Cranston) tosses an entire pizza onto the roof in a fit of rage. Now, you can see that pizza in Battlefield 6, or something like it."
"There is some fantastic lore surrounding the pizza-throwing scene in Breaking Bad. Writer Peter Gould recalled how difficult he imagined the scene was to film, as Cranston was asked to throw the pizza box, have the pizza separate, and then have the pizza land in the right spot for the shot. As it turned out, Cranston nailed it on the first take, something that Gould said was extremely unlikely."
"Given the popularity of the scene, and because it was filmed on location at a local Albuquerque resident's home, fans of the show flocked to the location and tried the feat out for themselves. This upset the locals, and Gilligan himself had to issue a statement to fans asking them to please not do that. The house went up for sale earlier this year, asking just under $4 million, a huge premium of 10X its estimated value. The house has not sold yet, according to Zillow records."
Battlefield 6 received the California Resistance update, adding the Eastwood map and a Breaking Bad Easter egg. A building on Eastwood features a pizza on a garage roof that references Season 3, Episode 2, "Caballo sin Nombre," in which Walter throws a pizza onto a roof. The pizza-throwing scene became an internet meme and has been referenced in other games like High on Life. Writer Peter Gould described filming difficulties, yet Bryan Cranston nailed the toss on the first take. Vince Gilligan noted the moment's perfection. Fans visited the filming location, upsetting locals; the house later listed for just under $4 million and remained unsold. For the new series Pluribus, a cul-de-sac of houses was built to avoid creating a tourist attraction.
