The Pizza

**"The Pizza"** is an *Antonio Cool Guy* episode from Season 1. In this episode, Antonio, his squad, and Joseph deliver a pizza. It is based off of the Spongebob Squarepants Episode "**Pizza Delivery**"

## Plot

Antonio and his squad are hungry and are deciding on what to eat. Andrew deciedes Burger King, but they all decline saying that they'll get their orders wrong. Boon decides Way-Ho, but everyone decline because Chinese chicken tenders are terrible. Then, Antonio decides on Papa Gino's and everyone agrees. They place an order for delivery of a large cheese pizza, cheesy bread, and chicken tenders. They end up eating the food. Then, Mr. Boss and Joseph show up to tell them to deliver the same order that they got to a customer. Antonio and his boys agree and get paid 2000 dollars each. Joseph tell Antonio to drive, but Antonio says that he can't because he's still in Biking School, but Joseph tells him to do what he does in school. As expected, Antonio panics when he tries to shift the car into reverse and ends up "backing up" for miles and miles until the car runs out of gas in the middle of a big desert. Joseph complains about the situation and kicks the boat out of frustration after Antonio mentions the food is getting cold. This causes the boat to suddenly drive off back to the Burger King, leaving the two stranded and forced to continue their delivery on foot. Throughout the journey, the duo encounters numerous mishaps: first, Antonio tries a pioneer trick he claims to have seen in a movie where he listens to the ground and hears a truck coming. When Antonio tries to get the driver's attention by doing a ridiculous dance in the middle of the road, the driver speeds up and Joseph pushes Antonio and his squad out of the way so he does not get mowed down. Later, the duo is caught in a violent wind storm that eventually turns into a tornado, and Joseph tells Antonio and his squad to let the food go (obviously believing it to be the cause of their turmoil), which he callously refused, as it causes them to get sucked into the tornado. However, the pizza actually saves their lives after Antonio turns it into a parachute.

Upon landing on solid ground, Joseph freaks out, as the road they were following is nowhere in sight. Antonio and friends notices some moss on a rock and says that they should go in the direction at which the moss is pointing (another one of Antonio's pioneer tricks), but Joesph does not trust them and goes in the other direction, despite there actually being civilization where the moss was pointing towards.

After an excessive amount of walking, the two gradually become tired and hungry, so Antonio insists that they eat dirt like the pioneers. Antonio immediately spits out the dirt, disgusted by the taste, and demands that Antonio hand over the food so they can eat it, as he has finally given up hope of getting back to civilization. Antonio refuses and a short chase ensues between the six. Just as Antonio is about to grab the pizza, Antonio and his friends notices a giant spider crab that he claims the pioneers drove for miles. Joseph is incredulous at this claim and tries to tell Antonio and his friends to forget about the pioneers, saying that there are none left because of their unusual traveling methods. However, he quickly changes his mind after Antonio runs him over with the crab and he chases after him for a ride. With the giant spider crab, they ride it all the way to the customer's house.

Unfortunately, their journey does not pay off well, as the customer, Brad did not get his Diet Dr. Pepper that he claims to have ordered. A confused Antonio checks the order, which says that the customer did not ask for a drink (though it's somewhat implied that Antonio hung up the phone before he could finish his order). Filled with anger, Brad harshly berates Antonio and refuses to take the pizza or pay for it before rudely slamming the door in his face.

Antonio then walks back to the squad and collapses to the ground crying. The squad, Appalled and enraged at how the customer treated their friend and won't pay for the pizza (making the long journey and the ridiculous obstacles the squad went through all for nothing), Joseph and Antonio's friends furiously confronts Brad and brutally slams the pizza box into his face, claiming it to be "on the house!"

Joseph and his friends go back to Antonio and cheer him up by saying that the customer took the pizza and "ate the whole thing in one bite." The episode ends as Joseph asks to be taken home but Antonio and his friends instead causes them to drive back to Antonio's house, which is comically revealed to be right across the street, much to Joe's dismay (meaning they could've avoided the whole journey).

## Production

"The Pizza" was written by Antonio, Andew, and T.J Chaves with RushLight Invader was the animator. Series creator Antonio Chave's original idea for the series pitch was that the writers would write a storyboard for a possible episode and pitch it to everyone. Antonio wanted to write an episode with Antonio and Joseph on a road trip, inspired by the 2003 film Finding Nemo. Antonio said said "It's a road trip movie starring Albert Brooks, who is an overprotective, clownfish character who is traveling with a nutty friend." Eventually, the idea developed while they were working on it, but Chaves gave up the idea for the initial pitch. The idea was later scrapped.

Instead, they used another idea for the pitch that was in the series the pilot episode "The Pilot ." They resurrected the road trip idea during the first season and used a lot of the ideas for this episode.
