Instead of the Pizza Time mechanic found in most levels, WAR features a timer mechanic unique to itself. Upon the player interacting with the gun crate and obtaining the Shotgun transformation, the level's background music begins and the timer appears on the player's HUD, starting with 40 seconds remaining.

WAR's timer can be extended by destroying War Terminals placed throughout the level.

Eight War Terminals are placed throughout the main rooms of the level, extending the timer to 4 minutes and 40 seconds total if all War Terminals are destroyed. Upon entering the Lap 2 portal, the player is placed in a small room containing five War Terminals and a door back to the entrance room, extending the timer by 2 minutes 30 seconds, resulting in a total maximum time of 7 minutes and 10 seconds total if all other War Terminals are destroyed.
{{Collectible screenshot

|image = PT-War-PTG.png
When WAR's timer depletes to zero, after roughly a second, the player receives a Time's Up notification and fails the level. Unlike Pizza Time, WAR's timer does not pause in secret rooms, making it possible to fail in secret rooms. The delay between the timer running down to zero and the Time's Up notification makes it so that WAR can be completed with zero seconds remaining on the timer if the player interacts with the exit portal during the delay's timeframe.

The HUD element for WAR's timer is stylized after LED bomb timers commonly found in action and thriller films. The timer beeps for every second passed. A red alarm light on top of the timer flashes if there are ten seconds or less remaining. The timer's numbers are red when counting down and green when time is being added.
}}

In addition to the previously noted differences, WAR's timer lacks some gameplay mechanics found in Pizza Time; the player's score does not deplete over time, and entering the Lap 2 portal does not change the background music to 'The Death That I Deserveoli'.

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.
