Peppino spaghetti

Peppino is a portly, middle-aged Italian chef who wears a white toque, a white tank top over a black t-shirt, black pants and boots. He has black short, messy hair and a small mustache under his long nose. His main emotions are anger and fear, with him often switching between the two in the Pizza Tower. He owns and works at a restaurant named after himself, titled Peppino's Pizza (occasionally written as Peppino Pizza). The business is in debt and is in a rough state, as shown by the game's introduction sequence before the file select screen and promotional art. The source of the debt is unknown, though it is implied Mr. Stick may be involved, as one the game's end cards depicts him making off with a sack of money while Peppino angrily looks at him in a doorway. The location seems to be behind the restaurant.
