Trivia

• This, And Wasteyard's Titlecards are the only Titlecards to Not Physically Feature Peppino.

• In the third Taxi room, right above the police car disguised as an exit taxi, two bacon strips can be found on the ceiling. There is a hidden door leading to a room with 20 Bacon Toppings that don't appear anywhere else. Finding this room earns the player an achievement.

• The in-universe reason behind the existence of this room are still unclear, but seeing its contextually grim nature and the presence of a police car next to its entrance, it is speculated that the bacon room could be the hideout of a serial killer and that the police car was hidden there as a way for the Hamkuffs to identify and apprehend the culprit, but mistakenly arrested Peppino instead.

• The level used to include a circus area and an underground area, but this has since been scrapped. Remnants of these locations are inside a secret room in the hub and Fake Peppino chase sequence.
• This level formerly used the track "Delivery for the City" instead of "Bite the Crust", but it was changed as the composer of the song, ClascyJitto (aka Frostix) isn't proud of it and wanted it removed.
• This level was at first titled Street in Rework before getting its final name.
• At the beginning of the level, there is a hole in a wall. Grabbing through that hole reveals a path to Grandpa. Getting hit by him grants the player the Itchy Sweater outfit.
• The inclusion of hay decorations could be a reference to the houses in The 3 Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf.
• The title card for this, Crust Cove, and Wasteyard, are the only ones that do not directly show Peppino, and rather a poster of him appears here.
• The 5th Background is originally used for the scrapped Kung-Fu level.
• Upon entering this stage, the game's window will rename itself to "The mean Pizza Tower streets".
• The Tower Secret Treasure for this level is a "jelly stuffed donut", which just so happens to be an onigiri. This is a reference to an episode of Pokemon, where Brock says he loves jelly stuffed donuts while eating onigiris.
