Peppina Ramen

History

It all begins when Peppina Ramen, an Italian chef with a struggling pizzeria, is threatened by Pizzaface, a floating being shaped like a giant pizza. Pizzaface warns her that he will destroy her pizzeria with a laser beam from the top of the Pizza Tower. Desperate to save her business, Peppina throws herself into the tower without a second thought, facing countless strange enemies, such as mutant animals, aggressive chefs, and living creatures made of food. Peppina had to traverse five floors of the tower, each with different themes. On these floors, she faces increasingly bizarre enemies and obtains power-ups that transform her into absurd things, such as a knight in cheese armor or a professional wrestler. On his journey, Peppino also encounters Gustava, a small chef with a large hat who helps him on some levels, accompanied by her giant rat Brick. When she reaches the top of the tower, Peppina confronts Pizzaface, who challenges her to a fight. Upon defeating him, Pizzaface reveals that he was only a pizza-shaped machine and that inside was his true identity, Pizzahead, ready for a final battle even more ridiculous than what had already been. After the fight, Peppina activates the tower's self-destruct mechanism and escapes at full speed, leaving behind all the chaos. In the end, it's shown that Peppina manages to save her pizzeria, but collapses from exhaustion. Despite everything, she remains the same grumpy and paranoid chef as always.

Pizzahead

Pizzahead is a tall, thin humanoid representing a slice of cheese pizza. He wears a white shirt with a red bow tie, red cheeks, white gloves, blue overalls, brown shoes, and a large red nose. He doesn't seem to take anything seriously and always has a big smile. In terms of personality, Pizzahead is shown to be cheerful, unhinged, and comically evil. He is sadistic towards Peppina and enjoys hurting her in the most comical way possible. This is demonstrated by having broadcast all of Peppina's suffering during her journey through the tower and by threatening to destroy her restaurant at the beginning. In itself, it's the true identity of Pizzaface, since Pizzaface is just a pizza-shaped machine with ingredients that form a face.
