The ZArena is the building featured across the player's pizzeria in Chapter 5, replacing the Big Data Pizza restaurant from Chapter 4. It is a building kept by Octavia Bell, which houses ancient Romano treasures, including the ancient Dough of Julius Cheeser.
Appearance[]
The exterior of the building resembles that of a Roman temple, white in color. It has a triangular roof, below which is a frieze with a stylized text saying "ZAREΠA", all supported by four columns. It has one rectangular window on each left and right side of the building. Between them is a wide, rectangular door, above which sits a semicircular window.
History[]
As Chapter 4 ends, it became a mystery once again on who would use the building across the player's pizzeria. However, after a few days, the abandoned BDP building started to mysteriously glow. The glow lasted a few days and the already-finished ZArena is mysteriously built into the plot of land across the pizzeria.
At the end of Chapter 5, Octavia Bell seals the Dough in the ZArena artifact room with the remaining ancient Romano power that it has. As the Dough is sealed, the ZArena then crumbles into debris by itself.
Interior[]
Only two rooms of this building is shown in the game:
- The main room, where Octavia works.
- The artifact room, where the ancient Romano treasures are exhibited.
Competition[]
Early in Chapter 5, Octavia asks the player, alongside three other Master Ovenists, to join in the ZArena competition, whose winner will win Julius Cheeser's ancient Dough. The first challenge of the competition is the Fig Challenge but it stops when something is stolen from the ZArena.
Treasures[]
These treasures are featured in the ZArena.
Image | Name | Description | Location |

Julius Cheeser Statue | Julius Cheeser was a Romano dictator who believed pizza should only consist of the highest quality dough, sauce, and cheese. He named his shop "The Trifecta," and battled against anyone who criticized his pizza purity beliefs. | Main Room | |
Romano Artwork | This Romano painting was found amongst the Pomperonii ruins. It depicts an ancient cooking method closely resembling modern wood fire ovens. Researchers say Julius Cheeser was displeased with the pepperoni and had the artist exiled. | Main Room | |
Romano Solider Helmet | The red and gold detail on the Romano helmet worn by Master Ovenist Julius Cheeser represents his classic tomato sauce and cheese pizza. | Artifact Room | |
Shield and Spear | Julius Cheeser was known for wielding his weapons outside of battle, striking fear in all who crossed his path. The cheese shield was indestructible and the pizza cutter spear proved to be effective due to its rolling blade mechanism. | Artifact Room | |
Ancient Romano Vase | An ancient Romano vase, often used to store food such as olive oil, preserved fruits, or wine. Researchers say Julius Cheeser would use this vase to store his signature tomato sauce. His friend Marcus Anchovious guarded it 24/7. | Artifact Room | |
