*This level has the lowest S-Rank score requirement with 5,500, likely due to the lack of secrets, Lap 2, and other optional collectibles. |
|||
*Completing the level normally right after Pizzaface's boss fight does not allow the player to see the rank they have obtained, instead showing the ending cutscene.

*This level originally had Forknights and extra platforms at the end of the stage, right before the Tower Lobby hub area. It was nerfed in subsequent patches, removing both elements and replacing them with [[Dash Pad]]s. |

The Crumbling Tower of Pizza is the twentieth and the final level in Pizza Tower, and the fifth level of the Staff Only floor.
After the boss fight with Pizzaface and Pizzahead, Peppino must finally escape the tower with everything he has collected. The player must backtrack through the entire hub whilst enduring a barrage of enemies, transformations, and a final golf challenge, to reach the entrance of the tower and escape before it collapses.
Enemies
This level contains the following enemies:
Transformations
- Shotgun β initiated by picking up one
- Weenie Mount β initiated through grabbing it
- Rocket β initiated by grabbing one
- Firebutt β initiated by jumping into Boiling Sauce
- Ball β initiated through getting kicked by Pepperoni Goblin or Pepperoni Goblin Bat
Gimmicks
- Big Mushroom
- Water Current
- Grind Rail
- Ramp
- Rat Balloon
- Olive Bubble
- Dash Pad
- TNT Block
- Boiling Sauce
- Cow
- Banana Peel
Collectables
Instead of Toppins, several characters from the game appear throughout the level and can be collected in a similar manner, although they do not award Pizza Points. These characters only appear if the level is entered after defeating Pizzahead and are completely absent if the level is entered through its door in the hub. The collectable characters are:
- Gustavo and Brick, at the beginning.
- Mr. Stick, in the Staff Only hub area.
- Fake Peppino, in the Slum hub area.
- Snotty, in the Slum hub area if he was not killed.
- The Noise, in the Vacation Resort hub area.
- Mort, in the Western District hub area.
- The Vigilante, in the Western District hub area.
- Pepperman, in the Tower Lobby hub area.
- Gerome, in the John Gutter Hall hub area.
When playing as The Noise, the collectibles slightly change. All of the boss characters, as well as Snotty, Mort, and Gerome are defeated upon touching them, resetting the playerβs combo timer but not rewarding Pizza Points. The Noise only saves three characters during his escape from the tower, these being:
- Noisette, at the beginning.
- A Noisey, in the Staff Only hub area.
- Bucket, in the Vacation Resort hub.
Swap Mode uses the collectibles associated with a Noise playthrough, although with the addition of Gustavo and Brick at the beginning.
Pizza Tower Guy
