Quotes

April: "Not good. Not good." (calls Donnie after Albearto breaks, with a turtle emoji with a purple mask as his caller ID)

(The screen splits to show Donnie answering the phone as his brothers are chased by a flying microwave robot shooting lasers.)

Donatello: "You are conversing with Donatello."
April: "Dude, I need your help!"
Donatello: "For you, anything. As long it does not involve bees, or spiders, or beach balls. Please not beach balls." (shakes his head slightly at the thought as the microwave bot crashes and explodes behind him)
April: "Can you fix Albearto? He broke before singing "Happy Birthday!"."
Donatello: (turns to his brothers as the screen opens whole on him) "April still hasn't gotten through the "Happy Birthday!" song yet, guys."
Raphael: "April still hasn't gotten through the "Happy Birthday!" song?"
April: (cuts in on screen) "Am I on speaker?!"
Donatello: (the screen goes back to him) "Or cake, actually."
Leonardo: (snickers hard) "Or cake?"
Raphael: "Albearto's is the pizza place, right? We'll be right over."
April: (over the phone) "Hey, if you guys are in the middle of something-"

(She's interrupted when the call ends abruptly and the Turtles suddenly come bursting in through the doors behind her in battle-ready poses just as quickly.)

Raphael: "Fixers in the house, swoopin' in to save the day!"
April: "That was fast! Actually, I just needed Donnie."
Raphael: "Oh we know. We just came for the free pizza! Remember, blend in like you're a birthday bot."

(He and his brothers walk like robots to the kitchen, as well as making accompanying beeps and boops.)

Michelangelo: (in a robot voice) "Aye aye, captain."

Trivia

The title is a parody of the book War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.
This episode, along with four other episodes, were posted early on July 20th, 2018 as a sneak preview on Nick.com.
This episode seems to be inspired by the indie-horror game, Five Nights of Freddy's.
- Both takes place at a children's-oriented restaurant.
- Both main villains are animatronic bears.
- The animatronics comes to life at night.
  - Difference: Five Nights at Freddy's: The animatronics are being haunted by dead children War and Pizza: Albearto comes to life due to a malfunction.
