- Pizza tower has amazing gameplay, but it also has some really cool lore details that can be used to create an insane theory. Pizza Face's origins might be more explained than you initially thought....

Still can't believe they made pizza tower into a real country called Italy
Idc if its a joke but you suck at making jokes im an Italian and im offended
I went to Italy once and I saw some sprinting chefs and lovecrafian pizzas.

Pizzaface being a living creature and not a mech makes no sense considering in phase 2 of the Pizzahead fight you can see Pizzaface spitting literal cogs and looking like a broken machine.
Theory: in the second phase while pizzaface is not on screen he ate all the level doors (that's why they're not in crumbling tower of pizza) and he is spitting out gears from peppibot factory.
This theory is 100% correct and you can't disprove it otherwise you're a boy kisser.
for me he is a robot that became sentient, considering the game has cartoon laws that is easily a choice that makes sense
Yeah
But if Pizza Face is a alive machine??
Could be a "ghost in the machine" situation.
my prevailing headcanon is that everything is exactly what it seems with no deeper meaning than what is presented in gameplay and what little cutscenes there are
This is how I choose to take it
I support your right to believe that
Same tbh
@@Pogobro Pizzahead, the goofiest doodlepants to ever slip on a banana peel, built the whole tower. I think there’s a chance he put in all that secret lore to be a silly prankster and fuck with Peppino.
so peppino IS in debt
I love how this walks the line of april fools joke and actuall lore vid perfectly
I can't believe they made a pizza tower themed dish called "pizza" it tastes so good no wonder pizzahead themed a whole tower about it
Bro right? That's an achievement in itself
@@yeezoyoutube what achievement?
@@stormy_does_stuffpizza
canonically pizzaboy is Pizzahead's mascot. so, i believe that the restaurant in Don't Make a Sound was real before the Pizzahead\face took control of the tower. Pizzaboy's Pizza was eventually shut down, leaving the animatronics (and the lone butcher\chef) to be stuck in the pizzeria. Pizzaface then blamed Peppino for the loss of his restaurant and began scheming. his first attempt to ruin peppino was a game called Super Pizzaboy Land (or something to that affect.) It did not sell well, and actually boosted the popularity of Peppino's Pizza. Then he decided to build a mech to pilot, a sort of Pizza Face, if you will. During construction of the tower, he put Pizzaface on autopilot while he worked on the gates to other dimensions, resulting in Pizzaface cursing John, turning him into a hivemind of pillars, with more being cloned every day. Gerome was forced into being the janitor cause the tower needed one with all the secret eye dimensions and main dimensions being created throughout the tower. Pizzahead then hired all the main bosses (minus fake peppino) to work at the tower, giving them all what they wanted. Pepperman got his own personal art studio, Vigilante got to be the sherrif he always wanted to be, and The Noise finally got his own dedicated Network. Eventually, Pizzahead managed to clone peppino, all clones were imperfet, but not as much as the first one. turns out there was too much frog DNA. He gave the first clone his own pizzeria and called him Fake Peppino. as he was finishing the tower, he found out peppino had severe ptsd from war, so he made an entire pocket dimension solely based on that. didn't even need a pillar, with the whole nuke being sent down the exact moment peppino set foot in there. finally, he hopped in his semi-sentient pizzaface mech, told peppino he was going to burn down his pizzeria by days end, and went back to the top of his tower and waited.
but hey that's just my theory.
dont have any clue how the toppins got caged in the different levels tho lmao.
Damn that was impressive! I don’t think pizza face is a mech but your theory is put together really well
@@Pogobro Yo thanks! i personally believe pizzaface is a mech with a mind of it's own, considering it coughs up gears, his face opens like hatch, and he emits smoke during the pizzahead phase of the final fight. and he can clearly act on his own, seeing that pizzahead clearly isnt piloting him during the boss fight.
I think pizza face's parents neglected him because he was nothing but a failure and was jealous of peppino's success.
But...Didn't one comic show that the Noise hated his job or something?-
he even says :"I can't believe a guy like me, reduced to doing commercials"
At least he was kinda depressed until he heard about Peppino...
Neat, but the fact that the game starts off with Peppino being in dept kinda retcons the success of Peppinos Pizza theory
Yknow what I think is funny? In the intro cutscene, there's no actual, direct shot of Pizzaface SAYING he's gonna shoot Peppino's restaurant. All he does is point out how he's gonna be at the tower now, and then Peppino imagines his restaurant getting blown to bits
theres also the skull and bones in the smoke of the explosion
Pizzaface just wanted to show off his new tower
@@genericname2747 Oh yeah, _his tower alright_
@@PunishedKrab what?
@@Pogobro okay but why did you put "8:42" in the final timestamp's description?
THE Bosses represent different aspects of running a Pizzeria pepperman represents that the ads NEED to be good, vigilante represents needing to KEEP you and your buissness Out of criminal or health danger Status, the noise represents that your Pizzaria ADS NEED to have a mascot, Fake peppino represents if your buissness is popular THERE WILL BE BOOTLEGS and Pizza face represents Corporate Giants and competeting resturaunts
Sorta, although The Noise also represents that you can't let a gremlin destroy your pizzas
@@volnartheunforgiving3952 The Noise is based on the Noid which was the Dominos pizza mascot in 80s. The Noid was created to show the Challenges of Pizza delivery and the Noid tried to distroy your pizza while it was being delivered.
I cant believe pizza tower had such a massive impact on the gaming community that the developer called 'God', which is the lead developer of the most popular game on steam called 'Life', put it into the game and called it 'Italy'
the fake peppino boss fight has LITERALLY every single element that you can think of from a creepypasta.
oh my god

Honestly, I know this was made on April fool's day. But I got every part of this lore thing, and is really well made.
Thanks means a lot
This is unironically the best Pizza Tower lore video I've ever seen
Thanks haha, was really fun to make
It cannot be true but it's funny and uses correct sources so
@@volnartheunforgiving3952 correct SAUCES
Pizza Tower lore is so deep it's been retconned more than once by the creators after going off too many benders trying to get all 5000 sprites done.
a master cheese artisian
The forknights actually aren't there to stop you, they're only on their lunch break, stated in older demos (and I believe the wikki)
They are searching for foods to eat
I kind of just see pizza face as a façade, an attempt of pizzaboy to rebrand himself after the utter failure of his old restaurant. Most of his current powers would simply of result of taking over the pizza tower and all of its unusual properties and residents. Otherwise i generally agree that pizzahead goal is that he knows peppino actually make good pizza and hes trying to harness that skill to make his new restaurant chain more popular.
Yeah, Pizzaboy is Pizzahead's cute and likeable classic mascot, Pizzaface is his intimidating and respectable new mascot
They literally have the same laugh, just at different pitches
@@dalehayden3830 What
This theory was so profound I completely failed to notice it was released on April 1st.
I heard, that Pizzahead is actually trickster-demigod, who decided to threat and enraging Peppino... just because it's fun
I don't think I've understood a single whole sentence in the entire video. It's like a fever dream. 10/10 would watch again, amazing.
Never let them know your first move
in an unused pizza head drawing, pizza head is seen controlling pizzaface rather than sitting on the toilet as he did
I have a theory that all the bosses are actually metaphors that represent all the ingredients in a pizza.
Pepperman: peppers (obviously)
The Vigilante: cheese
The Noise: the Noise
Fake Peppino: ???
Pizzaface: Pizza
I didn't think about it too much on my first playthrough, but now it makes much more sense, and really shows how much effort and depth was put into this game. ❤
Noise represents the insanity of an evil celebrity who hates the product's he advertises hating his life despite his privileges.
Fake Peppino represents the desire for corporations to mass produce workers for big profits no matter the ethical methods or the monsters they bring along them
Yeah no shit
Fake peppino, is that weird ass thing on your pizza you don't know what is
fake pep is prob dough
here’s my thoughts on the metaphors
Pepperman = the sauce or the toppings of the pizza.
The Vigilante = the cheese that goes on top of the sauce.
The Noise = The Noise.
Fake Peppino = the dough that creates the base of the pizza.
Pizzaface = all of them combined.
My theory about Pizzaface is that he is indeed a mech, but a mech made out of pizza. He has his own identity and isn't controlled by Pizzahead, rather Pizzahead uses Pizzaface as a means to cause mischief all while Pizzaface goes along of his own accord. Perhaps Pizzaface acts more like the one pulling the strings, while Pizzahead just oversees the work
I think the story is simply Pizza Face trying to harness Peppino for TV content. Since the obvious TV showing off his face and the death screen showing Pizza Face recording peppino in action. I believe that Pizza Face wasnt actually going to destroy the pizzaria but simply wanted to make Peppino angry so he can enter the Tower and actually try to beat the levels.
Theory: Totino Pizzaboy (yea that’s his real name) was the being from the stars. He was also extremely entitled, which caused him to make his followers build a mech for him. He quickly had aspirations of his own restaurant. It flopped. And you know what he did? He imprisoned Pillar John for all of eternity to act as the tower’s support beams, and he made a pizza empire. Then an Italian man ruined it all.
My personal creepy headcanon is that Fake Peppino is a sort of pizza mimic that Pizzahead was using to take control of Peppino's Pizza. You find Fake Peppino in a fake Peppino's Pizza, and when you break through the floor you fall into a secret tunnel that leads to the abandoned Bruno's Pizza, so my theory is that Fake Peppino used to be Fake Bruno, who was either captured or killed so that Fake Peppino could secretly take over as the new owner and funnel the money to Pizzahead in the pizza tower, only seeing how off Fake Peppino is the scheme didn't work out and Fake Peppino scared off all the customers. In the war level you see clones of Peppino that behave just like Fake Peppino, only these ones look identical to the original, so maybe these clones are perfected versions of Fake Peppino, and once they got rid of Peppino they would insert a clone into his pizzeria as a hostile takeover
Damn that’s even scarier than what I came up with
Thing is, your theory that one of the new clones might take over the real Peppino's Pizza could be true, but all of the "Perfected" clones are only perfected in appearance. This is the reason why they chose Fake Peppino. All of the clones look identical to the real Peppino, but they are very weak. Fake Peppino is very twisted in appearance but he is a strong fighter.
2:16 in the manual for the 2019 demo, it states that they use the fork due to the fact that they are hungry (for food)
The dark thing about this lore is how confusing and complicated it is
5:53 loved that part
2:13
Back in the sage 2019 demo, the help manual said something along forknights beind off-duty, and that they have lost their lunch. But they also have been seen hurting the player intentionally in their scrapped heat meter attack,
Theres also the chance that the whole "forknights aren't trying to hurt you since they're off-duty" thing could be deconfirmed for the full game, but i really like to think that it's still the case.
Oh boy, pizza tower is so good, i hope someone makes pizzas and towers real
would be a difficult task
@@Pogobro"i wish somebody would make a tower" pizza:
In all seriousness, Fake Peppino definitely has a creepiness to him, it's only overshadowed by the fact that Peppino was able to beat him into the ground. But if you're just someone like a cheese knight, or a pig, or the failed prototypes of fake Peppino, then he's a borderline eldritch horror. His creepiness shouldn't be as far as creepypasta though, more like one of those close up shots from Spongebob they did in earlier seasons.
i cant believe italy stole the pizza from pizza tower and made it a real food
I originally came to youtube to listen to the ost while i drew but this honestly drew me on more
I do think that Pizza Face is a mech the other is driving, especially because, after pizza head exits, the attacks pizza face does are limited to spitting cog wheels at you, hinting its mechanical nature.
If the tower really did reach the crust in the sky/the moon,it would be five years long,and would take 200 years to make
I thought the lore was just pizza head wanting to mess with peppino
Pretty much
Thank god this is an April fool's joke
Alr here’s my theory for fake peppino: He is a clone that is made from dough from the leftovers of pizza, and that is why we see multiple, because they have tried many times to beat peppino’s business to the point where they full on copied the restaurant entirely.
I like men
Yeah like if anyone cares
I like women
@@Cyboss898 But I care…💖🥰🥹
Men like you back.

I’m also pretty sure that the pizzas that that talk to you are named “grandma pizza” (correct me if I’m wrong) and in the level “DONT MAKE A SOUND” your “grandma” helps you with the forced alarm, kind of confirming it’s pepinos grandma (why would she help peppino if she wasn't his real grandma?) which confirms peppinos relatives are pizza, making him somewhat not human, MAKING HIM MADE OUT OF PIZZA.
AND HE'S SELLING PIZZA WHICH MEANS HES SELLING HIS RELATIVES AND FUTURE KIDS..
Ohh so she’s the one that wrote that note that said „Get kicked - Granny
@holladay axolotl this is pizza tower. not real life. living pizzas exist so it could be a thing
It’s funny because Pizza Tower actually has lore!
I hear from a friend of mine that Pizzaboy and Pizzahead are the same, and that Pizzahead, as an older Pizzaboy decided to form an alliance with Pizzaface. Pizzahead convinced Pizzaface to get Peppino to work at the tower to achieve Pizzahead's dream of being a whole pizza over just a slice.
Actually about the moon in pizzaface phase 2 the moon transforms inyo pizzaheads head i dont know what this means
6:37 I dont really think pizza face is an actual person. Because at the Final boss fight, at His phase 2. We can see that Pizza head is spitting machine parts at peppino trying to kill him as same as pizza head. This inplies that Pizza head was actually controling pizza face .
i mean this was posted on April first but that could be bad timing
I imagine pizza face just went onto autopilot mode
That was pretty good man hope the video blows up
i cant wait for them to inevitablily drop more content when they add the noise as a playable character later this year as that will give us so much more lore
"did you forgetti" classic lol
Theory by me on wiki:
In WARs lab, Pillar John is found being cloned. There are multiple Pillar Johns throughout the tower. In The Crumbling Tower Of Pizza, Pillar John is covered in toppings, showing that he went through something bad. All the other Pillar Johns are normal. Cloning usually hurts and can ruin things about your body. In the ending, every single Pillar John should be dead, however only one is found. We know from Peppino Clones that clones in Pizza Tower are made of some kind of goop. The goop is presumably cheese, as seen in old animations for Peppino Clones and Fake Peppino. In the hub of Staff Only, a statue of Pillar John is seen, being held up by CHEESE, possibly hinting at that. So The Crumbling Tower Of Pizzas Pillar John is the original Pillar John.
Also, Pizzaboys are cardboard cutouts, further hinting that Pizzahead was the OG.
yeah cardboard cutouts of what originally?
the game is crazy, also feels like comedy and trying to make a theory around it would be hard
I believe that fake peppino is a clone of peppino made of dough witch explains why there are so many and why there is a weird melting effect when he goes into the ground
In the earlier demos it was a disguised cheeseslime with a yellow tounge but that was changed in the final game
I watched this not knowing it was made 13 days ago this month of April.
Even when it's not April Fools Day, it's still April Fools Day.
4:28 in here peppino just imaginated how pizzaface is gonna destroy his pizzeria thats why is in front of camera
Matpat strikes in
3:48 _whips out hollow knight music_
I had a different track there but it didnt sound good
@@Pogobro it fits perfectly imo, hollow knight has a lot of dark lore so using that made the video feel like you're mossbag 2.0 or something, making it a better april fools joke
or was it not an april fools joke? tbh this actually kinda makes sense
There need to be a mod where when you’re on the PizzaHead phase, he came out from PizzaFace’s head and leaving 1 slice empty (cause it’s his head)
The random ass steam screenshot noise over the splat on Chef boyardee... quite humorous behavior
jokes jokes
pizzaface is clearly a mech since even if he's still flying around during phase 2 since there's smoke flying off him
i thought this was a serious video until the last segment
the very definition of "had us in the first half ngl"
Full lore behind the war stage:
Peppino: i have PTSD
Everyone: that's a nice argument, why don't you back it up with a source?
Peppino: my source is that i made it the fuck up
take a shot every time he says the word pizza
so what he means is if pizza head is pizza face then the young pizza is pizza head that grew up in pizza face so he could take over the Pizza tower
I laugh so fucking hard with the "Forgetti" pun and I don't know why
His jokes are like getting peppino hurt every 10 damage he gets a new screen
it maxes out at 1000
Hey what about the dark missing for the boss the laser could be in there Peppino's just standing on it and that's maybe why there's metal stuff in the tower when you're falling
"This video can cause brain damage." Its cool, i brought my helmet.
i don't understand why peppino's clones sound like frogs
It's a reference to Jurassic Park, with how the gaps in the dinosaurs' DNA was with filled with frog genes
Frogs are good :)
'master liguinist' is the best pun I've heard
thing is, what about the ads from DON'T MAKE A SOUND with pizzahead on them?
also note that the pizzaboys dont move like paper cutouts
Alright now we need the bosses theory
My guy turned the video into a comedy show
pizza face is a mech or else he wouldn't be smoking, dropping gears and making engine noises during the battle against pizza head
"im not going to forget his last name is spaghetti"
*5 seconds later*
"hello mr peppino"
I’m hungry for every pasta and pizza now
"This video could cause brain damage."
Me: small price to pay for Pizza Tower Lore
One thing that I find rather interesting about _Pizza Tower_ is that, while its plot is minimal, it still manages to roughly follow a standard plot diagram. Here's how it does, as I see it (spoilers here, if you didn't already spoil yourself by watching the video):
-The *exposition* is Peppino in his pizzeria that isn't doing so hot, as evidenced by the debt papers, broken piggy bank, and lack of customers.
-The *inciting incident* for the *conflict* is Pizzaface showing up at the pizzeria and telling Peppino of a claimed plan to destroy the pizzeria with a giant laser weapon; this terrifies and enrages Peppino, who then runs toward the Pizza Tower in with a goal to take Pizzaface and/or the tower down.
-The *rising action* is quite literal in this game, as it encapsulates the entirety of Peppino's ascent of the tower.
-The *climax* is the fight against Pizzaface himself (and then some) at the literal top of the tower.
-The *falling action* is when Peppino and the others make their final escape from the tower as it's literally about to fall, plus the actual fall of the tower in the ending cutscenes.
-The *resolution* is Peppino observing dead John (and reviving him if all secret treasures have been collected), Peppino getting his pizzeria back in business, and everything else that's pictured in the credits.
Pizza tower lore is just peppino with PTSD scared of a drone (he hallucinates is pizzaface) and proceeds to destroy the leaning tower of pisa
Enter the Gungeon but pizza
Pizza face does seem like he could be a sentient construct of sorts.
He spits out gears in the second phase of pizza head's fight.
His face can swing open like a door.
Why the hell does he have a toilet inside him?
Exactly.
Pizza face is a construct, not a mech.
00:00 no its chill i already have 17 diffrent ones
are we not gonna talk about how it got cut out at the end?
The spaghetti metaphor is perfect tbh.
when the moon meets your eye like a piece o pie thats...
Maybe pizzaface is the mech created by pizzaface who orchestrated his own being eaten thing in favour of becoming a "normal" pizzaman and getting pizzawomen like seen in the pictures? That would explain the mech part, but at the same time it contradicts the fact that pizzahead is not paying attention to the battle while inside pizzaface
Okay that last joke had me dying.
Pizza Boy was forced to work for the tower but didn’t know he was really working for the mozzarellites to reach the great crust in the sky, so happening to be Pizza Face. I believe the mozzarellites gave the entity that makes Pizza Face’s lively self the pizza body, Pizza Face absorbed Pizza Boy in the process due to something that happened, with Pizza Boy having the brave hope he’d be set free one day, which happened via the final boss fight. Pizza Face creates the Pizza Dimension thus replicating John the Pillar for all the levels. The question I have is, who or what forced Pizza Boy to work for the tower? If he refused to work for the tower, nothing would have happened. So why does he HAVE to work for the tower?
i miss the old version of thumbnail. there was a background of oh shint! with a pizzaboy and pizzaheads head
4:13 is at most 10/15 in nightmare fuel
1:32
Fake peppino: "DEJA VU!! I'VE JUST BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE!!"
personally i believe this
the thing in oh shit is a refrence to pizzahead being inside of pizzaface
same for dont make a sounds entrance design
and in the middle of phase 2 pizza face is on autopilot
I just believe pizzahead made pizza face to like fly or some crap and he decided to do a little TROLLIN and than he threatens peppino then it all goes downhill for pizza head
How the heck does a game about an angry Italian man trying to save his restaurant have lore
"And if that means adding some cringey joke meat to the proverbial balls of the game-" "EEYAAAA-"
one of my new favorite sound bits
4:53 U missed ur chance to say "Pastable"
it may be a theory, but i have 2 things up my sleeve that debunks the 2nd part
1. in pizzaheads phase, pizzaface spits out cogwheels, making it more likely that hes a robot.
and 2. in some early concept art for the final boss, the old sprite where pizzaface opens shows pizzahead controlling him with levers and buttons and such.
Ever wondered why Fake Peppinos (including the other fake Peppinos in the War level) seem to have so much in common with frogs? From croaking, to tongue attacks, to turning into frogs when they jump?
Well, what are Peppino's special abilities? The man can jump pretty high including a super-jump and a long-jump, he can effortlessly crawl up/stick to walls, and he doesn't seem to have much of a neck.
Kind of like a frog...
Now consider that we see clones of Peppino in the War level and that's where we also find incomplete Fake Peppinos, and it all comes together: Peppino himself is the final product of a military experiment to create the ultimate super-soldier, by combining humans with frog DNA and mozarella cheese. He might be ok now, but his memories of frog-boot-camp surrounded by his fellow clones are what keep him on edge at night.
0:55 IGN of all palces remembered
“May cause brain damage”
FOOL! I ALREADY HAVE SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE ALREADY!
Pizza face is a mech because in the concept art for the final boss, we can see pizza head controlling pizza face
Pizzaface in phase two, shoots gears, a part of machinery
My theory of fake pepino: at the end of the boss fight, you can see that there was once a restaurant called “Bruno’s Pizza” and my theory is that when pepino’s pizza opened, he lost all his business. So he cloned pepino so he could get a taste of the success he was getting.
I'm watching this and eating pizza at the same time
