In Western Build, a Pizza Shield power up was added into the game. It could be found in some secret rooms, and it would prevent the player from losing points after getting hit once.
These would stay in the game for a while, before getting cut entirely with the rework of the Secret Rooms.

Introduced in LetsGoToSAGE v3, Ancient Cheese and Bloodsauce Dungeon featured falling debris, which would activate during Pizza Time and act as additional obstacles.
They were removed in SAGE 2019 Demo v13b.

Exclusively in Noise's Hardoween, the left trigger on the controller makes The Noise dab. The dab is analog, meaning that the player can control how the animation is played.
It is a reference to Yo! Noid II: Enter the Void, where Noid also had an analog dab animation.

Very briefly, Pizza Tower featured a Time Attack mode, which could be activated after collecting a clock at the start of the level. It would set the player's score at around 12,000 points and requires to finish the level while the score slowly decreases.

One of the original ideas for the 4th boss in the game was a single bee. The whole idea behind the fight was to get the Bee to touch the toxic gas from a Raid can 8 times.
The fight is still accessible via debug console and the "player_room boss_bee A" command

Fake Peppino's animations were slightly changed during the release version of the game. The arm shade was replaced with a simpler one under the shirt, there's less shine spots on the face, and the tongue was made a different color, which was originally cheesy yellow.

One of short-lived ideas for the game was a day/night cycle, where the background would change its colors. It is unknown if the way it was implemented in the video was meant to be the intended final result. It's still accessible in the files of the Desert build.

Around 2021, McPig gave a funeral to the Pizzice enemy on one of his streams, as it wasn't going to be used. Later, however, McPig reused the behaviour for the Pizzice enemy for the new Snowman one, eventually reusing the sprites for Pizzice, giving it its current behaviour.

Pepper Pizza transformation initially had an entirely different effect. It would have been a power up, that would make the player run at mach 4 instantly for about 15 seconds. It was never actually used for a single level and was only showcased in the first Thing of the Week youtube video

Showcase of said faster scrolling background:

PIZZA TOWER TRIVIA
At one point in development, the backgrounds for the TV were meant to reuse the level gate ones, before they were changed to solid color. In some other clips, the scrolling was much faster, making it more distracting. This was likely removed as to reduce clutter.
