Dragon Lair is the third extra level and secret boss level in Pizza Tower.

It's the home of Cheese Dragon, a hodgepodge of all of the environments seen previously in Tower Passage. A continually lowering timer challenges the player to do the level fast, as whenever it reaches 0, Pizzaface laughs from above and takes away one of the player's prized Toppin Warriors on contact.

Rooms

Dragon of the Pizza Tower

A short hallway in a tower-filled landscape where the Cheese Dragon is seen in the background. Computers summoning the five Toppin Warriors line the ground, only summoning after their corresponding Toppins are collected in each of Tower Passage's levels, before a piece Junk must be used to destroy some Enemy Blocks guarding Pillar John, triggering Pizza Time. It's entered from "Get Him!!" to the left, blocked by a One Way Breakable Block, after defeating the Cheese Dragon, and the entrance to "Danger Zone" is found to the right.

Danger Zone

A long hallway in the style of Entrance's tower interior. The player begins by jumping over a pool of Boiling Sauce before encountering a Mini John and an Enemy Spawner spawning Cheeseslimes used to break an Enemy Block ahead. Past this is another Mini John and a Swedish Monkey followed by a second pool of Boiling Sauce which must be crossed at a high speed as there's a Metal Block at its other end. Next is a small section where the player must jump between Ladders over a pit of Outlets with an opportunity to collect three Complete Pizzas. A small vertical section requiring the player to fall through layers of Cheese Blocks is found to the right, with four Forknights and walls of Breakable Blocks guarding the steps of the way. A single Giant Pizza can be found at the top level. A winding path follows with several Breakable Block walls and large Pizza Blocks hidden between. Three Forknights, two Mini Johns, and three Pizza Cutters guard this path. It's entered from "Dragon of the Pizza Tower" to the left, and the entrance to "Guard Duty" is found to the right.

Guard Duty

A large hallway in the style of Entrance's city section. An Enemy Spawner spawning Weenie Mounts is found before two Cheeseslimes and an incredibly long pool of Boiling Sauce, followed by a Forknight and a Ladder. A Complete Pizza is found in the air right after, followed by an Enemy Spawner spawning Camembert Squires. A Camembert Squire's Weenie Mount must be used to cross another pool of Boiling Sauce before defeating two unsuspecting Forknights. It's entered from "Danger Zone" to the left, and the entrance to "Weenie Ride" is found to the right.

Weenie Ride

A long hallway in the style of Pizzascape's castle interior. Up a set of Stairs is an Enemy Spawner spawning Weenie Mounts, which must be used to cross several more pools of Boiling Sauce after some Cheese Block platforms, with six Pepperoni Goblins being hit on the way. Some Teleporter Pizzas under Outlets are found above in the case that one loses their Weenie Mount in the Boiling Sauce. It's entered from "Guard Duty" to the left, and the entrance to "Library of Panicking" is found to the right through a Box of Pizzas.

Library of Panicking

A vertical section in the style of Pizzascape's library. Two Pizzards are found before a pool of Boiling Sauce beside a Complete Pizza. Over this pool is a One Way Breakable Block which must be broken in order for the player to successfully destroy a Bomb Block in the way via an Enemy Spawner spawning bombs. After a few Cheese Block platforms is another One Way Breakable Block that must be broken so that the player can use their Knight form from a Sword Stone to slide on some Stairs and break two Metal Blocks before another Pizzard is found above. It's entered from "Weenie Ride" at the bottom through a Box of Pizzas, and the entrance to "There He Is!" is found at the top through another Box of Pizzas.

There He Is!

A hallway in the style of The Ancient Cheese's ruins. The player must transport a piece of Junk from an Enemy Spawner past some Pizza Box Goblins in order to destroy an Enemy Block ahead. Cheese Dragon's first encounter is found after this, where the player must use said Junk to hit him. A single Giant Pizza is found in the air of the fight. It's entered from "Library of Panicking" to the left through a Box of Pizzas, and the entrance to "Stupid Dragon" is found to the right.

Stupid Dragon

A hallway in the style of The Ancient Cheese's fallen civilization. An Enemy Spawner spawning Camembert Squires must be used to cross a long pool of Boiling Sauce with Outlets above before the player initiates their second encounter with Cheese Dragon. A Pencer and an Enemy Spawner spawning Junk are in a lower section along with some large Pizza Blocks. Junk from the Enemy Spawner must be used to hit Cheese Dragon once more and allow passage. It's entered from "There He Is!" to the left, and the entrance to "Patrol Route" is found to the right.

Patrol Route

A long hallway in the style of Bloodsauce Dungeon's beige dungeon section. It's greeted by a large Pizza Block before an Enemy Spawner spawning Mini Johns and an Enemy Spawner spawning Cheeseslimes, which must be used to destroy an Enemy Block with a Complete Pizza above it blocking the path. Past this is a Metal Block that must body slammed onto, leading to a Flying Anchovy and a long pool of Boiling Sauce with Outlets lined over it. To cross the pool, the player must take a small detour into an upper area with a Pepperoni Goblin, two Pencers, a Giant Pizza, and an Enemy Spawner spawning Camembert Squires whose Weenie Mounts must be ridden across. It's entered from "Stupid Dragon" to the left, and the entrance to "Get Him!!" is found to the right.

Get Him!!

A narrow hallway in the style of Bloodsauce Dungeon's long descent. A Pepperoni Goblin is killed before the player must transport a piece of Junk from an Enemy Spawner to break through two Enemy Blocks containing Complete Pizzas and finiash the final encounter with Cheese Dragon at the end of the hallway. Once Cheese Dragon is defeated, the Giant Key is obtained, opening the entering door and allowing the player to exit. It's entered from "Patrol Route" to the left, and the entrance to "Dragon of the Pizza Tower" is found to the right.

Trivia

• Dragon Lair was originally planned as the Tower Passage's boss level before becoming an extra level and being replaced by the Pepperman boss fight.
• Some rooms in the fight were originally going to have infinitely spawning enemies that spawned out of Pizza Portals, however this is not seen in the playable version of the level.
