* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: The Raging Dragon is a pizza that uses this as a sauce, rating over ''4 million'' on the Scoville scale. The original recipe came from ''Bakuda'', but had to be modified, because several ingredients were illegal and some were actually lethal. The Napalm Bomber is a downplayed version, at ''only'' 550,000 Scovilles, and was initially invented because Taylor realised she didn't dare to taste-test the Raging Dragon.
** The Raging Dragon is so spicy that the only people who can actually handle it are a group of Merchants who are either too high to care or are UnaffectedBySpice due to their drug high. The other gangs use it as a test of manliness.
** Alabaster attempts the Raging Dragon, resulting in "over an hour of screaming, crying, and praying," including an extended time in the bathroom.
** While relatively mild compared to the Raging Dragon, the Napalm Bomber is STILL hot enough to send Aegis running for a toilet and incapacitate Clockblocker.

Clockblocker then steals a slice while Aegis is out of the room, and is reduced to screaming.

* ToiletHumor: Given the pizzeria sells two separate spicy pizzas, the inevitable blown-out gastrointestinal tracts (including when Clockblocker tries a slice of Napalm Bomber pizza) are always Played For Laughs.

The fic is complete.

* BadassNormal: Not having powers doesn't keep Taylor from making a difference.
* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: The Raging Dragon is a pizza that uses this as a sauce, rating over ''4 million'' on the scoville scale. The Napalm Bomber is a downplayed version, at ''only'' 500,000 Scovilles.

* CivilWar: [[spoiler: Empire 88 descends into one by the end of the fic, with Hookwolf, Stormtiger, Cricket, and Rune breaking off and turning on Kaiser after having been deradicalized by hanging around the TruceZone of the Pizzeria]].
* ClusterFBomb: Hookwolf drops a boatload of racial slurs in quick succession during his first pizza order from Taylor.
* TheDreaded: As a pizza with a spiciness of over 4 million on the scoville scale, the Raging Dragon quickly cements a reputation as this.
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Comes in both food and beverage varieties.
** Rune switching from Fanta to Coca-Cola is a subtle sign of CharacterDevelopment as she aligns from Krieg's ring to Hookwolf's, [[spoiler: foreshadowing Hookwolf's ring deradicalizing and breaking away from the Empire]].
** Stormtiger orders pizza with various wacky 'health food' toppings in an OvercomplicatedMenuOrder.
** Armsmaster ordering a pineaplle pizza with anchovies gets mocked online.

* PunnyName: Taylor's Pizzeria is called SliceOfLife.
* PetTheDog: Coil bankrolls a one-person small business as a charity case. [[spoiler: He later hires Faultline's Crew to protect the pizzeria when Taylor is catatonic]].
* SliceOfLife: Played Straight and Lampshaded.
* TruceZone: Taylor's Pizzeria is this, enforced by gratuities and 'taxes' on Hero and Villain alike. [[spoiler: Those who assault the keeper of the peace will be chased out and ganged up on, as Emma, Sophia, and Madison learn the hard way]].
* TheMasochistsMeal: The Raging Dragon.
