HOBOKEN, NJ —Tony Boloney's Pizza in Hoboken is now selling a "Tiger King" themed pie.

On Instagram on Wednesday, they wrote, "Hey all you cool cats n’ kittens, get ready to sink your teeth into this. This pizza is so big it’s enough to feed all of Doc Antle’s sister wives and we will never financially recover from this! This pizza has bunny blood sauce, a hint of sardine oil, cheese and meat, (but not expired Wal Mart meat out of the back of a truck). You know who tried to stop us from making this pizza? Carole f*ckin’ Baskin! - (It really is a square w/ prosciutto, vodka sauce, mozzarella & balsamic honey) P.S. Yes this is a real pizza available today in Hoboken!"

The Netflix documentary miniseries, about zookeeper Joe Exotic —who is currently in prison—has been watched by millions of people who are currently on lockdown and who want to feel thankful for their comparably non-exotic lives.

A TMZ story about the pie noted that the restaurant has been donating food to local front line workers — so there's no reason to feel bad about ordering a slice of Joe.

But not everyone is a fan. One person suggested on Instagram that they find a better choice. "Can't we find someone to make a pizza in their honor that DIDN'T [accusation redacted] innocent animals?"

"Hardly say it's in the 'honor,' responded the eatery. "Let's all have a laugh at this train wreck in terrible times."

The person wrote back and suggested that they create an "essential worker" pizza, but also thanked the restaurant for helping out the community.

Others remarked that the pizza should be a permanent addition to the menu.

If you're not ready for a bit o' honey, you can try the restaurant's other exotic pizzas, from "Bangkok Boardwalk" to "Devour Ramen Pizza."
