Origin

On June 28th, 2004,^[2] in preparation for the theatrical release of the Spider-Man 2 film, the video game tie-in for the film was released. The game involved Peter Parker, as Spider-Man, traversing through New York City stopping crime, helping citizens in peril, taking pictures for the newspaper "The Daily Bugle" and performing miscellaneous tasks. One of the side missions finds Parker delivering pizzas for his boss, Mr. Aziz. Parker must deliver the pizzas to potential customers, while trying to keep the pizzas intact as Spider-Man. During the missions, an arrangement of Neapolitan song "Funiculì, Funiculà," composed by Luigi Denza in 1880, plays as Spider-Man delivers the pizzas to his customers.
