It is the rival business of [[Pizza Dinosaur]]. [[Mona]] works here part-time under the manager [[Joe|Pizza Joe]], who also owned her past place of employment, the [[Gelateria]].


==History==
==Advertising Jingle ==
===''WarioWare: Twisted''===
Mona's stage in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' featured a commercial for Mona Pizza, complete with a long advertising jingle. This jingle was sung almost completely by [[Sal Out]] and featured interludes of "Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!" sung by the Yum Yums, as well as various comments (some of which were in Italian) from the manager Joe. Strangely, the latter parts of the song were sung by [[The Dinosaurs|Pizza Dinosaur's employees]] and seemed to advertise Pizza Dinosaur and its devious ways, suggesting that this half of the song was actually part of a separate commercial. However, all editions of the Mona Pizza jingle have included the Pizza Dinosaur segments and they are therefore still considered part of the jingle. As a matter of fact, Pizza Dinosaur and Mona Pizza may even share jingles and commercials, though this is unlikely.
Mona Pizza debuts in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', and sells pizza, the only known variety of which is the Mona Special. Mona Pizza's name and logo are both based on the famous ''{{wp|Mona Lisa}}'' painting by {{wp|Leonardo da Vinci}}.


Mona's level in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' features a commercial for Mona Pizza, complete with a [[Mona Pizza (song)|long advertising jingle]] sung predominantly by [[Sal Out]]. The song reappears in later games in the ''WarioWare'' series as well as the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series as an arrangement.
The Mona Pizza jingle has now become a somewhat recognizable trait of the ''WarioWare'' series, along with Mona Pizza itself. A subtitled version of it (complete with a picture slideshow featuring limited animation) is unlockable in the form of a secret "Mona Pizza" souvenir in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''; this souvenir can only be unlocked by playing ''WarioWare: Touched!'' with ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' in the [[Nintendo DS]]'s [[Game Boy Advance]] slot. The song also appears in both English - in an edited version - and Japanese in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.


===''WarioWare: Touched!''===
===Lyrics of Mona Pizza's Song ===
Mona Pizza also appears in Mona's level in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', where she is seen rehearsing a musical performance with her band, consisting of herself, [[Art and Deco]].
The jingle's lyrics are as follows:
 
==== WarioWare: Touched! ====
===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
<blockquote>
While the restaurant itself does not appear in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', the description for the Pizza [[Prezzy]] conjectures that it is from Mona Pizza.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Mona Pizza logo (the picture depicting Mona as a parody of ''Mona Lisa'') is not present in the Japanese version of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and did not appear until the Japanese release of ''WarioWare: Touched!'' It was presumably added to the English version of ''Twisted!'' due to the later release and since ''Touched!'' was released prior to ''Twisted!'' outside of Japan.
*Mona Pizza's name and logo are both based on the famous Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo Da Vinci.
*The Mona Pizza delivery box's design is completely different in the Japanese version of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' The characters on the box are [[the Pork Loins]], the band from the [[Garage Rock]] microgame from ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' and Mona's intro in ''WarioWare: Touched!''
*Although Mona Pizza is theorized to be named after Mona, this is odd considering the fact that Mona is a mere employee of the restaurant. Similarly, Mona Pizza's logo seems to directly depict Mona, indicating that she may be more important to the restaurant than she is typically assumed to be.
 
*The Mona Pizza logo (the picture depicting Mona as a spoof of Mona Lisa) is not present in the Japanese version of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and did not appear until the Japanese release of ''WarioWare: Touched!''. It was probably added to the English version of ''Twisted!'' due to the later release and since ''Touched!'' was released prior to ''Twisted!'' outside of Japan.
