Plot
One night, April and Irma are about to watch a movie. April receives a call and starts lying about having a date with Casey. Then, a pizza delivery guy drives by them and falls off his bike. He screams about being attacked and leaves in a hurry. He drops a free pizza. April wants to bring it to the guys, but Irma says she wouldn't eat it. April receives another call and runs away. She thinks about what Irma said and throws the pizza in the trash. She hears creepy voices saying "Eat me." She comes closer to the pizza and opens it when a mutant pizza attacks her.

In the lair, Leo and Raph are watching TV and Donnie is worried because April isn't answering. And also is Mikey, because none of the pizza shops in town are answering too. Leo says that he is the culinary expert and that he should make his own. A happy Mikey runs in the kitchen. There, he prepares the ultimate pizza while singing and dancing. The smell reaches Leo and he is disgusted. Mikey offers some to the others and they decline. He rapidly starts eating. The other Turtles see a commercial about Antonio's pizza and Leo is suspicious. He orders a pizza and Raph sends Mikey to wait for it and not to eat it. Mikey receives the pizza from a weird acting pizza guy and returns to the lair. He is tempted to eat it and calls the guys.

The pizza then starts talking like it did to April, but Mikey thinks it's his imagination. He opens the pizza box and an angry pizza starts attacking him! After the fight, the guys show up and see Mikey rolling on the floor covered in pizza toppings. They thank him sarcasticly for ruining the dinner. Mikey stakes on the rooftops to Antonio's and sees April with human zombies. He is then attacked by three people that have pizzas on their faces. He almost gets pounded, but saves himself with a smoke bomb.

He rushes to the lair to warn the others, only to see them zombified too. He is attacked by several pizzas while the others escape. He takes one pizza as a hostage and interrogates him about the situation. The pizza finally says everything after Mikey threatenes to put it in the oven. Pizza says that, one day, chef Antonio was making a pizza and he heard a noise. A mutagen canister fell out of the sky and he had to know if it would be a good pizza topping. He tried some and mutated into a giant pizza blob. After pizza finishes talking, Mikey asks if he has a pizza for a face. When the pizza says yes, Mikey names the villain- Pizza Face. Mikey asks what will he do with his zombie customers. Pizza says that he'll wrap them in calzones and eat them whole. Mikey says he'll save them, but first he throws the pizza in the freezer where it deals with Ice Cream Kitty.

Mikey sneaks to Antonio's acting like a zombie. Inside, he goes to the kitchen where he sees April getting prepared. When a pizza asks what to do with the Turtles and Splinter, Pizza Face says that they will be his guards, since they've tasted the secret ingridient (mutagen). He throws up on their faces and makes them a pizza face. Mikey throws a box at Pizza Face, but Leo stops it by stabbing it.
