    Eagle-eyed Stranger Things viewers have discovered that there's a way to call fan-favorite character Argyle (Eduardo Franco) at Surfer Boy Pizza.

    In Season 4, a phone number is briefly visible on the side of Argyle's Surfer Boy Pizza van, prompting fans to dial in to the fictional pizza shop. Although you can't actually order a pizza via the number, Argyle himself "answers" the call.

    At the other end of the line, a pre-recorded message from Argyle begins to play, saying, "Surfer Boy Pizza, this is Argyle speaking. We make everything fresh here at Surfer Boy, except for our pineapple, which comes from a can."

    Argyle then goes on to describe the specifics of someone's pizza order, sharing his thoughts on blue cheese, before the call ends.

    Of course, Surfer Boy Pizza isn't a real establishment, but Walmart does carry pizza inspired by the show, which one fan posted on Twitter.

    Stranger Things is currently streaming on Netflix.
