John Gutter

John Gutter is the first level in Pizza Tower, and the first level of the Tower Lobby.

This level serves as a testing ground for the player to get an understanding of the game's base mechanics. This level takes place at the entrance of the tower, featuring a concrete jungle, an underground city, and many Pillar John-like creatures and statues scattered around the level.

The level's titlecard shows Peppino in a small spotlight gazing nervously at the numerous Pillar John lookalikes behind him.

Pineapple

Tower Secret Treasure

Gerome

Gerome is located in the room directly before Pillar John, covered behind a breakable wall.

Treasure

Gerome's door is located in the seventh room. The easiest way to access this door is during Pizza Time, where the player has to run into a Metal Block and super-jump to the top. The Tower Secret Treasure is a stick of butter.

Secret Eyes

Secret Eye 1

In the sixth room, where part of the ceiling has cracks and an eyeball scribbled on it, hinting at its location.

---

This secret room consists of strings of semi-solid platforms with Pizza Points on them, before a longer platform that requires a super-jump or uppercut to exit the secret. To retain a constant dash, the player must turn very quickly on the platforms, though it is not necessary for completing the secret room.

Secret Eye 2

In the ninth room, right before the room with Pillar John. The rightmost area has a spot with a white eye scribbled on the floor. Ground pounding this spot breaks the floor.

---

This secret room is a short vertical climb where the player must wall climb, while in turn grabbing large Pizza Points on top of each pillar. The player will have to hop to change direction once, so as not to run off the edge of the area.

Secret Eye 3

Only accessible during Pizza Time. After entering the second Pizza Box during Pizza Time, an eye can be seen scribbled on one of the walls on the right. The player must run at Mach 3 to break the breakable wall to access the secret.

---

This secret room requires the player to run and wall climb through a short parkour course, with Metal Blocks blocking the way.

Pizza Tower Guy

Pizza Tower Guy

Located in the same room as Pillar John. The player must reach this area within a minute in order to see him, and he disappears when approached.

Trivia

This section is dedicated to trivia and miscellaneous information about John Gutter.
Remember to read the wiki's trivia guidelines before adding trivia or making changes.

• As the selection of playable levels expanded over the course of game's development, John Gutter became the second to be the introductory level of a demo release. The first was Oregano Desert.
• Since the assets of the level were designed before Pillar John's current design, the Pillar John-like creatures are noticeably rounder and have brow ridges instead of eyebrows.
