01

It plays with one thumb

The slice follows your finger — no buttons, no pad. The gun fires itself: all you have to do is fly, dodge, and aim for the top of the sky.

02

A menu, not a level select

Levels are the tables of a pizzeria, written by hand on the tablecloth. Pick your menu: you serve it, you come back. Three difficulties — apprentice, pizzaiolo, maestro.

03

The counter

Tips are earned by playing, never any other way. They buy equipment that stays with you: a wood-fired oven, a thicker crust, a reserve of burrata.

04

Three slices, three ways to fly

  • La Classica — the Neapolitan balance.
  • La Capricciosa — one more shield, but heavier.
  • La Regina — twenty per cent more fire rate, one shield less.
05

One illustration per table served

Every world you finish leaves its painting in the gallery, pinned up like a postcard. That is the collection: it cannot be bought, only earned.

06

Fifteen times, everything changes

The second world follows the aqueduct down to the city. At every stage the painting, the weather and the music change completely — and the light drops one notch.

Naples never asked for this

One morning in 1984, the Pineapple decided it belonged on pizza. It has held the sky over the gulf ever since — and it did not come alone. One slice flew up to say otherwise. That is the whole story: it is told between worlds, in pictures and short sentences.

It shoots, but it soothes!

Forty-eight cues, one per world and per moment of the run. The backdrops are illustrated one at a time, the music played in blocks that follow on without a seam. You shoot a great deal, and still come out calm.

The ones with no business being on a pizza

And nobody ever invited them.
