Pizzaface

Pizzaface is the final boss and alleged main antagonist of Pizza Tower.

Description

Pizzaface is a giant Complete Pizza with two red pepperoni eyes, a mushroom nose, and a mouth, mustache, and eyebrows made out of green peppers. He can change and move the toppings on his face at will in order to make different facial expressions.

Pizzaface first appears in the intro of the game, in Peppino's Pizzeria. Pizzaface starts off with a friendly look (having a tomato for a nose instead of a mushroom), but then he switches to his default evil face, terrifying Peppino. He then uses a pointer to explain his evil plan to the chef, saying that the laser gun on top of his Pizza Tower will fire a laser and obliterate his pizzeria. Pizzaface then flies back to the Pizza Tower, with Peppino right below him.

Behavior

Pizzaface appears when time runs out during Pizza Time. When spawned, he will wake up on the timer with the text "SHOWTIME" and continuously chase the player, flying directly towards the player (phasing through everything), until coming into contact, resulting in the player receiving a "TIME'S UP" screen and having to restart the level. This is the only way the player can lose a level, besides the timers in WAR, The Crumbling Tower of Pizza, and Secrets Of The World. If Pizzaface spawns, but the player finishes the level before he touches the player, he will be bruised up before blasting off the screen.

Boss Room

To access the boss room, the player needs to pay Mr. Stick $210 (21 Toppins). In level order, the bossfight comes after WAR and before The Crumbling Tower of Pizza.

Peppino has to walk through a long dark corridor plastered with creepy statues of Pizzaface, with one of them even turning to look at Peppino as he walks past it. Peppino then comes across Pizzaface taking a shower, who spots him and scurries away embarrassed. After climbing into the balcony through a window, a Present launches the player to the very top of the tower, unless they use the grab-slide method and stop in time to Super Jump instead. Peppino will look briefly at his pizzeria before he notices Pizzaface. Pizzaface laughs, Peppino lets off a battle cry and the showdown begins.

Peppino will be constantly furious during this phase of the fight, always using the animations that are used when he has a high combo from 25-49.

Boss Behavior

Pizzaface will slowly float from left to right through the whole fight.

Spawning Enemies

Pizzaface summons random enemies on the arena. Enemy variety increases each time after getting hit. He also starts spawning more enemies per attack as the fight goes on. To hurt Pizzaface, Peppino must grab an enemy and throw it at him, and then attack him after he's stunned.

Of all the possible enemies, Pizzaface can summon:

Face Slam

Pizzaface will shine a pineapple grin before slamming his face into the player. This slam will spawn an enemy from inside the tower. While playing as The Noise, since he can't pick up enemies, Pizzaface will flash white after slamming down, and has to have a bomb thrown at him to damage him.

After Pizzaface is damaged 8 times, his head opens up revealing he was a machine being piloted by Pizzahead, and the mech explodes, causing Pizzahead to fall face-first into the arena, scaring Peppino, and the fight with him begins. During the second phase of the fight, Pizzaface reappears brutally damaged and spits up rolling cogs that the player must jump over or parry.

Trivia

"Pizza face" is a degregatory slang term for people with acne. However, it's unknown if this was the intention or not.
Pizzaface is designed similarly to Pizza Tower Guy's Pizzasona.
Pizzaface makes an appearance as a weapon the player can use in the DOOM mod “Bring Your Own Class,” acting as the BFG 9000 weapon for Peppino. Pizzaface will give chase to all nearby enemies and dealing high damage upon touching them, but will also chase and damage players if no enemies are nearby.
During Pizza Time after time has expired, when Pizzaface is close to the player, a sound reminiscent to mechanical whirring can be heard. This could be a subtle implication and foreshadowing to the fact that Pizzaface is a mech.
Pizzaface shares similarities with the Ghost in Spelunky, which is summoned when the timer in the level runs out or a ghost pot is smashed.
On repeat rematches, Pizzaface will not be in the shower in the hallway leading to outside.
The Pizzaface statues in the hallway are likely a reference to the hidden figure from Wario Land 3.
The first phase of Pizzaface is very similar to Large Fry from Wario Land: Shake It!. It is also comparable to the Bowser fight from Super Mario World and the Golden Diva fight from Wario Land 4.
Pizzaface is the only boss who doesn't give a rank once defeated, but defeating them without taking a hit still grants a Chef Task completion like getting a P Rank on the other bosses would.
Pizzaface's old design is used from Bossv0 all the way to Eggplant Build.
You can actually build up speed to a Mach 2 and use a superjump instead of the present to reach the boss. Peppino would still be seen tumbling after he reaches the top, because you were meant to hit the Present in the first place.
If the player jumps off the tower in the room before the boss fight you get sent back to the beginning of the Tower Lobby
Upon entering the door to the boss, the game's window will rename itself to "Some sort of private room in the Pizza Tower".
Upon exiting the tower, the game's window will rename itself to "Outside the Pizza Tower".
Upon entering the boss, the game's window will rename itself to "Fighting at the top of the Pizza Tower".
In the Tricky Treat level, his appearance is a pumpkin with a Pizzaface's face while wearing a white blanket, his behaviour is similar to John Ghost's.
In Swap Mode, you are able to throw the other player at Pizzaface to stun him.
