"Mona Pizza" is a song that serves as the advertisement jingle for the restaurant of the same name in the WarioWare series, first heard in WarioWare: Twisted!, where it serves as the background music for the gameplay portion of Mona's stage. It is sung in-universe by the pop idol Sal Out. The Violin souvenir teaches the player how to play "Mona Pizza" on the instrument. The English version of the song is in a slightly lower key than the Japanese version.

Lyrics

The first half of the song is sung by Sal Out, with various comments by Joe, some of which are in Italian. The second half of the song features The Dinosaurs from Pizza Dinosaur, who disparage Mona Pizza and brag that their mediocre pizza sells better because they have more locations.

English lyrics

This here is Mona Pizza!
Makers of the world's best eats-a!
Fresh sauce and cheese galo-ore,
Brought straight to your front do-or! (Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!)

This here is Mona Pizza! (Buon giorno!)
Makers of all tasty treats-a! (Buono!)
Our pie's crispy, crunchy cru-ust, (Bellissima!)
Leaves others in the du-ust. (Mamma mia!)

Grab a hot slice and take a big bite!
It's so good that you'll start a fight for more...

Mona Pizza! (I'm the manager of this joint!)
Mona Pizza! (My name is Joe!)
Mona Pizza! (It's a pizza art!)
Mona Pizza! (I said a "pizza art", ahahahaha!)

We represent Pizza Dinosaur!
We got the most stores in the world!
Our crust is tough and our sauce is thin,
But we're everywhere so you gotta give in!

Mona Pizza's got nothing on us,
'Cause we've got six thousand stores plus!
Pizza Dinosaur!
Pizza Dinosaur!
Wahahahahha! Wahahahahha!

Arrangements

WarioWare series

WarioWare: Twisted!

In WarioWare: Twisted!, the Pizza Music Box plays a music box arrangement of "Mona Pizza" when wound up.

An "X" icon with sound waves, used to indicate missing media files. It has been requested that more audio and/or video files related to this section be uploaded. Specifics: Japanese version
Please upload music, sound effects, voice clips, or any videos for this section. See the help page for help getting started.

In WarioWare: Touched!, a less compressed arrangement of "Mona Pizza" can be unlocked via the "Mona Pizza" souvenir, which will then play throughout a subtitled music video, featuring Mona riding on her scooter and appearances by her pets, Sal Out, Joe, and Pizza Dinosaur.

The souvenir is unlocked by having WarioWare: Twisted! inserted in the Game Boy Advance slot of the Nintendo DS. As WarioWare: Twisted! was not released in Europe, the souvenir is not unlockable in the European version of WarioWare: Touched!, although it is still present in the game's data and accessible via hacking.[1] The Chinese version of the game instead has the souvenir unlocked by having WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! in the GBA slot, since WarioWare: Twisted! was also not released in China.[1] There are no localized GBA games released in South Korea at all, so obtaining all gold crowns in all albums instead unlocks the song. As the Nintendo 3DS no longer includes the GBA cartridge slot, the Mona Pizza souvenir cannot be unlocked when played on the 3DS or on the My Nintendo-exclusive digital download version of WarioWare: Touched! Although the Nintendo DS hardware allowed DS games to use GBA cartridges' functions, the North American and Japanese versions of the Mona Pizza souvenir do not support twist controls or haptic feedback.

The Japanese version returns in Donkey Konga 3 JP as a playable track.

In WarioWare Gold, arrangements of the English and Japanese versions of "Mona Pizza" are two separate Records in the Toy Room. The original uncompressed vocal tracks are used, but the instrument tracks are new. Unlike previous games, the instrumental for both the Japanese and English versions use the same pitch, as opposed to the English version being slightly lower-pitched than the Japanese version. As records, the player can use the Touch Screen to rotate them to distort the music.

The countermelody in the second half of the music heard in Mona's portion of the staff credits is an instrumental arrangement of the repeated melody of the first two verses from "Mona Pizza."
