You will never become a master ovenist, haha!
Allesandro Alicante, better known as simply Alicante, is the main antagonist in Chapter 1. He is the owner of the pizza restaurant "Alicante's Pizzeria", located across the street from the pizzeria in Chapter 1. He returns in Chapter 4 as a supporting character and also appeared in the Mother's Day Event. In Chapter 5, he makes another major appearance as one of the ZArena competitors and mentions that he has a daughter, Allie, whose name was revealed in the 2024 Mother's Day event.
Appearance[]
Alicante has curly brown hair, thick eyebrows and a sweeping mustache beneath his large nose. He is of large build, and wears a pale red shirt and black pants underneath a white apron with a matching chef's hat on his head. If defeated in Chapter 1, he will show up near the end of the chapter with scratches on his face, part of his mustache missing, bandages on his arms, and his apron and hat will be torn.
In Chapter 4, he reappears without his tell-tale attire, instead wearing more casual clothes: a brown polo shirt with two vertical red stripes outlined in white, and a pair of black pants with a brown belt.
For some of Chapter 5, he adorns a brown bear costume with button eyes and a patch on his upper left arm. His face is uncovered.
Personality[]
Alicante is arrogant and will often boast about himself and his business. He is competitive, antagonistic, and appears to have little trust in other people. A miser himself, he has no qualms taking other people's money. His lack of customer service shows he has little regard for his customers and the food he sells.
Despite this, he will help you on Day 1 if the shop's funds are less than 10 
by giving you money, calling himself a "one-day-philanthropist." He also acts as a reminder during Chapter 1 for upcoming festivals, allowing you to prepare and purchase the necessary ingredients.
Alicante likely has a strong bond with his daughter. Every morning, he and his daughter go to Havarti Park (which is named after the Danish cow's milk cheese of the same name[1]). In the park, they feed the birds with the leftover pizza crust some people leave on their plates. He also displays his daughter's trophy in his pizza booth in Chapter 5. Also in Chapter 5, when you ask him about the trophy he reveals he coaches his daughter's dance team and the trophy is from when they won a dance competition.
History[]
Originally from out of town, he is a self-taught ovenist. He couldn't afford to go to school so he learnt how to make pizza by working in various shops. He used to have a business partner but as they couldn't agree on a pizzeria name, they parted ways. Soon after, Alicante moved to the city to open his own pizzeria, "Alicante's Pizzeria".
Plot[]
Chapter 1[]
Alicante appears on Day 1 of Chapter 1, mocking you and unknowingly acting as the tutorial. He orders a basic cheese pizza, then calls it horrible no matter the quality. He subsequently reappears on certain days, usually to boast about how he has prepared for the upcoming events and still orders pizzas just to antagonize you.
He is later driven out of business by the work of a homeless man after bears suddenly show up at his restaurant and raze the place. The next day, he concedes defeat to you and leaves. However, if you don't help the homeless man, Alicante will sell his pizzeria at end of Chapter 1.
Chapter 2[]
He is briefly featured in a PNN segment holding a yard sale and selling old ingredients, utensils, and pizzas at bargain prices.
Mother's Day Event (2020-2021)[]
During the event, Alicante revealed he lost touch with his mother a few years ago after opening his restaurant and had no way of contacting her. Hoping to reach out to her, you chipped in and purchased a spot on PNN. The segment turned out to be successful and Alicante was able to reconnect with his mother, who promised to fly out and visit him. As thanks, he gave you a new pizza box: Alicante's Box.
Chapter 4[]
Alicante returns and is pleased to see your restaurant is still open (though he tries to cover it up with his usual remarks). He is back in town after traveling and exploring his pizza-making roots, and announces himself as a Master Ovenist.
He mentions Big Data Pizza (BDP) has been doing very well in the stock market lately, and their garlic pizza is the talk of the town. When you mention you do not have Garlic and ask Alicante for help, he says it is not his responsibility to help out his biggest rival. However, the next day, Plant Lady brings you the aforementioned ingredient, saying an old friend of hers (who wants to remain anonymous) asked her to deliver some garlic seeds.
Later on, after Alicante has done some market research, he finds that something unique will be needed to bring down BDP, not just new toppings, and he teaches you to create your own House Special, giving you an edge over BDP.
Once BDP is defeated, Alicante announces that he is going to reopen his pizzeria soon. Although the plans are still up in the air, he vows to take away your Master Ovenist title once and for all.
Mother's Day Event (2022)[]
During the event, Alicante was heartbroken after spotting his mother, Valentina, leaving your pizzeria instead of going to him. He explained their relationship hadn't always been the best and they weren't speaking to each other, but he was determined to make Mother's Day special for her. He begrudgingly accepted your help, saying he would stop by in a few days to see what you had in mind.
When you next saw Alicante, you proposed he give his mother a rare flower. Alicante got excited over the idea but had no clue what his mother's favorite flower was. He begged you to help him figure it out.
Once you acquired the appropriate seeds from Kevin and the rare flower bloomed, Alicante stopped by and gushed over how gorgeous it was. But as beautiful as the flowers were, he didn't think they were enough to repay her for everything she'd done for him. He asked if you could make the pizzeria look nice for when he surprised her and said he would come by again in a few days.
After purchasing the required decorations, Alicante showed up and said his mother would be by any minute. He struggled with the words, but eventually asked you to make her favorite pizza and put it in a box of her favorite color to complete the surprise.
Valentina was definitely surprised when she came into the pizzeria, and Alicante told her how much he appreciated her and how sorry he was for the past, adding that he hoped she didn't hate him. She responded by telling him he was the best thing that ever happened to her, and Alicante, overcome with his emotion, broke down crying.
The following day, Alicante came by with his mother, who forced him to say thank you and apologize for being such a pain during the planning process. Alicante ended by saying you were his rival, but also his friend. The Alicantes gave you something as a way of saying thanks: Valentina's Vase.
Chapter 5[]
As Alicante's pizza booth is outdoors, the smell of his pizza attracts bears that attack him. He enters the ZArena competition to befriend the bears by making them perfect pizzas with the prize, Julius Cheeser's Dough. However, Octavia accidentally gives him Zucchini seeds instead of Fig seeds, which are required for the competition.
After being shown a piece of the Stone Tablet, Alicante says it looks like the one in the woods when he was trying to talk to the bears. He lets you take it as he has no idea what it's for.
Alicante agrees to let you search his shop if you get him 300 fig pieces and make his favorite pizza, which is a classic meat pizza. While searching, you find a zucchini bag with bear paw prints on it, which Alicante suspects might be attracting bears to his pizza booth. He gives you the bag of seeds and his problem is not resolved. Due to giving Alicante the wrong seeds, Octavia gives all the contestants Zucchini licenses.

- Hey
DiaryJournal,
I can't believe it. They opened up that shop across the street, and guess what it is?
A PIZZERIA! Who does that crazy landlord think she is?! This is MY turf!
You know what? I'm going over there and showing the newbie who wears the pants around here! But first, I need to find my pants...
We'll see who lasts on this block. >;D

- Dear journal,
A red-haired little twerp came strutting into my shop yesterday, calling herself an "influencer". She threw around a bunch of other fancy terms I never heard of before and said that she could have my business rolling in dough.
It sounded too good to be true. I asked, "What's the catch?"
"No catch!" She said. "All you have to do is make an account on BakeBook... and maybe I could have a pizza on the house?"
I told her, "NO DICE, YOUNG LADY!"
A free pizza?! Nothing is free at Alicante's, not even the water cups!
