In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', Mona Pizza is heard over the commercial that plays for the entirety of the gameplay portion in Mona's level, even over the [[microgame]]s aside from the boss microgame. The first half of the song is sung by Sal Out, with various comments by [[Joe]], some of which are in Italian. The second half of the song features [[The Dinosaurs]] from [[Pizza Dinosaur]], who disparage Mona Pizza and brag that their mediocre pizza sells better because they have more locations.

The song also appears in the form of a [[List of WarioWare: Twisted! souvenirs|souvenir]], located in the Records folder. In addition, the [[Violin (souvenir)|Violin]] souvenir teaches the player how to play Mona Pizza on the instrument.

The English version of the song is in a slightly lower key than the Japanese version. This is also the case in ''Touched!'', but not in ''Gold'' or the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

While the song itself does not appear in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', the countermelody of the second half of the music heard in Mona's portion of the staff credits is an instrumental arrangement of the repeated melody of the song's first two verses. Additionally, the short tune heard when Mona takes out her [[Mona's Boomerang|boomerang]] in the introduction to her level, That's Life, is based on the same melody.
