'''Mona Pizza''' is a restaurant found in [[Diamond City]], and is the rival of [[Pizza Dinosaur]]. [[Mona]] works here part-time under the manager [[Joe|Joe]], who also owned her past place of employment, the [[Gelateria]]. Mona Pizza appears in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series of games and sells pizza, the only known variety of which is the Mona Special. Mona Pizza's name and logo are both based on the famous Mona Lisa painting by [[Leonardo da Vinci|Leonardo da Vinci]].

 

==Jingle==

Mona's stage in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' features a commercial for Mona Pizza, complete with a long advertising jingle. This jingle is sung almost completely by [[Sal Out]], with interludes of "Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!", as well as various comments (some of which were in Italian) from the manager Joe. The latter parts of the song are sung by [[The Dinosaurs]], who are employees of the rival pizzeria [[Pizza Dinosaur]], and advertises Pizza Dinosaur and its variously shrewd techniques.

 

A subtitled version of the jingle (complete with a picture slideshow featuring limited animation) is unlockable in the form of a secret "Mona Pizza" souvenir in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''; this souvenir can only be unlocked by playing ''WarioWare: Touched!'' with ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' in the [[Nintendo DS]]'s [[Game Boy Advance]] slot. An excerpt of the song appears in the second stage of the microgame [[Castanet, First Chair]] in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. An arranged version of the song also appears in both English - in an edited version - and Japanese in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', under the name "Mona Pizza's Song." (Japanese: こちら☆モナピザ ''Kochira Mona Piza'') ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' has a record called "Mona ★ Pizza," made by [[18-Volt]]. In the English version, Sal Out's vocals are provided by [[Christina Peyser]], who is [[Ashley and Red|Ashley]]'s voice actress in the ''WarioWare'' series, while the Pizza Dinosaur employees' vocals are done by [[Nate Bihldorff]] and Andy Hartpence. The jingle is also one of the tracks featured in ''[[Donkey Konga 3: Tabehōdai! Haru Mogitate 50 Kyoku]]''.

*The Mona Pizza logo (the picture depicting Mona as a spoof of Mona Lisa) is not present in the Japanese version of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and did not appear until the Japanese release of ''WarioWare: Touched!'' It was probably added to the English version of ''Twisted!'' due to the later release and since ''Touched!'' was released prior to ''Twisted!'' outside of Japan.

*The Mona Pizza delivery box's design is completely different in the Japanese version of ''WarioWare: Twisted!''.

**The characters on this box are [[The Pork Loins]], the band from the [[Garage Rock]] microgame from ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' and Mona's intro in ''WarioWare: Touched!''
