WAR is the nineteenth level of Pizza Tower, and the third level of the Staff Only. The level has a unique time limit mechanic, with no Pillar John and consequently, no Pizza Time. Instead, WAR has a timer activated soon after starting the level that is constantly active and must be extended through destroying War Terminals found throughout the level.

WAR features three setting themes: a short entrance section set in a bunker, an outdoor section set in an active military battlefield, and an indoor section set in an industrial laboratory overrun by Peppino Clones.

The level's titlecard is set in a battlefield, with a closeup of Peppino's face as he screams in horror. In the background, a grinning Peppino Clone wearing a combat helmet runs away from an explosion and towards Peppino.

Trivia

• Gustavo occasionally appears on the level, shooting an enemy nearby with rocket launcher, that shoots out Brick.
• WAR's main mechanic was completely different earlier in development, with the level originally being on Pizza Time.
• Beating this level on the first attempt on any save file grants the player the War Camo outfit.
• WAR used to be very different in development state:
  • In April 2021 build, it used to be longer. The level used to have more enemies, those being Cheeseslime, Swedish Monkey, Mini John, Pepperoni Goblin, Pizza Box Goblin, Flying Anchovy, U.F.Olive, Pineacool, Spit Cheese, Cannon Pizza Goblin, Noise Goblin, Pickle, Pizzard, Olive Trooper, Noisey, Pizza Slug, Shrimp Thug, Ninja Slice, Trash Pan, Piraneapple, Pizza Soldier and Cardboard Tank.
  • The level got completely reworked in the Rework build, removing all the enemies above except for Pizza Soldier and Cardboard Tank, as well as introducing the Kentucky Bomber and Peppino Clone enemies. However, the player can't beat the level due to the fact that the exit gate is placed above the ground and there's no ground to stand on.
  • It got reworked again in the Eggplant Build, getting closer to its final version; however, the level lacked secrets and the Secret Treasure, along with Gerome.
  • Gustavo uses Brick to shoot at random enemies to make it more helpful without needing to defeat them. In the final version, he only appears during specific sections.
