Gnome Forest is the tenth level in Pizza Tower, and the second level of the Vacation Resort.

In this level, the player finds themselves in a big dark forest where a village can be found where gnomes and goblins that look like Gustavo and The Noise respectively live, as well as a much brighter, big and open cliff-side forest with giant pizza trees in the background.

The level's title card shows Peppino, Brick, and Gustavo standing in a forest. Peppino and Gustavo are dressed in gnome outfits, and Brick is wearing a birthday hat and blowing a party horn.

Collectables

Each Toppin in the level is obtained after delivering a Gnome Pizza to a gnome, each being directly where the player naturally runs. The player must make it to these houses before the timer on the pizza depletes.

Gerome is located four rooms after the Tomato Toppin, near the ceiling. The player needs to get to the rightmost area near the top, bounce up the right wall, and break wooden blocks. The door to the is located in the room directly before Peppino switches to Gustavo. Returning with Gerome during Pizza Time, run or super jump up the long sequence of wooden blocks to find the door.

Secrets

In the second room that Gustavo and Brick exit to after their tutorial, the player must climb a wall where a visible secret eye is blocked only by a small wooden block. In this secret, the player uses Gustavo's double jump to clear large distances and destroy metal blocks.

In the room directly after the player receives the Tomato Toppin, there is a semisolid platform above a seemingly inconspicuous wall with a dented floor. This wall is actually transparent and has a secret inside. In this secret, the player gets propelled forward with great speed, needing to use Gustavo's double jump.

The final secret is actually at the start of the stage, directly in front of the exit door below the first semisolid platform, but is only accessible during Pizza Time. It is in a hidden wall, so it is not visible until the wall is entered. In this secret, the player runs up vertical segments like in a secret from John Gutter, though bouncy mushrooms are placed to attempt to bounce the player off.

Chef Tasks

This level has the following Chef Tasks:

Bee Nice Stand next to a bee and taunt in Gnome Forest.

Lumberjack Destroy every wood block in Gnome Forest.

Bullseye Kill a noise goblin with his own arrow in Gnome Forest.

Trivia

• Despite having the final name in Beachandforestv1, it was temporarily called Forest in PT_Eggplantv15 build.
• In the Gustavo & Brick tutorial, the combo meter is hidden. However, being in the tutorial still affects the combo but the combo is not drained.
• The party blower Brick holds in the title card is not actually colored in. It is "see-through". Some of the verdant background and the trees are visible there.
• The level's titlecard is famously known due to the recent "Lario" meme, which features a slideshow of one singular image of the 3 characters from the title card under the text "Lario", accompanied by a mashup of the songs "Sneaky Snitch" by Kevin MacLeod and "Superstar" by Young Thug. This image was actually a joke from one of McPig's spriting streams.
  • This meme became so popular that "A Secret in The Trees", the level's secret theme, was renamed to "Everybody Wants To Be A Secret", in reference to a line from "Superstar".
  • :LARIO: emote was added into the Steam Points Shop, that shows Peppino in the gnome costume.
• In the version v1.0.594 Rat Fairies were added in Gnome Forest, that appear only in 2 rooms: big room before Jester's house and 3rd secret.
