Fake Peppino is a character in the video game Pizza Tower. He is a doppelgänger of Peppino Spaghetti, the game's protagonist and the player character. In canon, Fake Peppino can both imitate Peppino's abilities and use shapeshifting and duplication powers of his own.
In the Pizza Tower fandom, Fake Peppino is a popular subject of fanworks due to the contrast of horror and comedy elements present in his character, as well as a lack of precise details on his background providing room for fan speculation, headcanons, and different interpretations in both art and fic. Fake Peppino and the Peppino clones also serve as the basis for many original characters in the fandom, similar to fandoms such as Team Fortress 2 and Undertale.
