1	[[VideoGame/{{Yakuza}} Kazuma Kiryu]], after faking his death and burying his old life for the sake of his loved ones, found himself running low on the cash he acquired in his time in the Yakuza clan, with a need to gain more income while keeping his "disappearance" up. With the resulting influence of the Kiryu Clan led by Coco, Kiryu was suddenly gifted a job opportunity under a new identity. Thus, Kiryu has been placed in charge of a pizza shop, who's employee's include: the succubus with a [[DarkAndTroubledPast troubled backstory]] Aloe Mano, the neuro-divergent angel [[CanonForeigner Kenji Tensei]], RichBitch oni Karin Maki, and the delinquent fox-girl Chun Lushan.

3	''The Dragon's Pizzeria'' was a {{Crossover}} fanfic made by [=KeatonHoshida=][[note]]While this is the username listed on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn for the author, it has been abandoned since spring 2022 and no longer refers to any current or former ''[=HoloFunk=]'' developers[[/note]], as partly supplementary material for ''VideoGame/HoloFunk'', a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' mod primarily themed around VirtualYoutuber agency ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}''.

5	The series would go on indefinite (later permanent) hiatus due to ''[=HoloFunk=]'' proper undergoing a massive ContinuityReboot in March 2022, which most of the fic was incompatible with. It was later deleted with the rest of all primary sources for the old lore.

9	!!This {{Fanfic}} contains the following tropes:
10	* CanonWelding: By the nature of being a FusionFic of several different continuities, it converts them all into its own continuity. There's the ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series, with Kazuma's story taking place after ''VideoGame/Yakuza6'', and the group from that game later becoming the high-profile gang that Kiryu Coco leads; the original ''Friday Night Funkin[='=]'', which is established as both an in-universe game that's recursive with reality in the form of the Dearest Clan and Kenji, the former who's influence affected more than a few characters such as Aloe Mano and Dancho Tsume; several ''FNF'' mod characters featured (Whitmore, Carol, Tabi, AGOTI) were former bandmates of Hana/Girlfriend before ForegoneConclusion took effect to split them up; Amatsuka Uto grew up in the same school as Kenji and Kanata, and experienced the events of ''[[VideoGame/{{Pico}} Pico's School]]''; and there's the presence of other characters such as Nyamada, a literal imperfect clone of [[WebVideo/VShojo Nyanners]].
11	* ConnectedAllAlong: In the mod, Gura is fairly unconnected with the overall plot. Here, it is all but stated she is Coco's partner in founding the pizza franchise, which she serves as the CEO of[[note]]The franchise is named Pizza Shark, Gura's favourite food is pizza, Darnell refers to her as a "little shark", her name, while censored, is shown to consist of a four-letter first name and a four-letter last name, and the pizza served is said to be "Atlantis-style"[[/note]].
12	* CornerOfWoe: Aloe balls up into a corner to cry twice during the fic, first in Hibiki's room, and then underneath a tree. Both moments are interrupted by other people stopping by: Makoto Date in the first scene, and Narumi in the second.
13	* {{Crossover}}: As this story focuses on the AlternateContinuity that is ''[=HoloFunk=]'', it's naturally one for ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' and ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'', alongside ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}''. Several non-hololive vtubers show up, including a member of ''WebVideo/VShojo''... sort of.
14	* CrackFic: By virtue of being acknowledged as a WeirdCrossover. That doesn't stop the fic from taking itself seriously when it needs to, however.
15	* DarkFic: Though a SliceOfLife story at its core, the fic's setting is a mix of the M-rated ''Yakuza'' series and the T-rated ''FNF'', and does not hesitate to mix the tone of the former at its most serious and the levity of the latter when it feels it necessary.
16	* DeadFic: CutShort with the rest of the lore bible it was supposed to be building up, with no plans by any involved to revisit it whatsoever.
17	* DeadPersonImpersonation: Not by deliberate choice initially, but after meeting up with Hibiki's dad in an attempt to deliver the bad news regarding his daughter, Aloe took up the identity after being mistaken for her.
18	* DisasterDominoes: CatGirl Nyamada ends up causing a serious ruckus [[spoiler:upon literally melting from a stove fire accident, resulting in {{Blob Monster}}s akin to [[WebVideo/VShojo Nyanners']] true form causing a ruckus. Said "Nyabominations" end up not only forcing the present employees to wrangle them up, but also trapping a few of the employees in nightmarish hallucinations]].
19	* TheDreaded: [[BewareTheSillyOnes Momosuzu Nene]] of all people is viewed with fear by Narumi, with the implication that RankScalesWithAsskicking.
20	* DrivenToSuicide: Right after leaving the underworld, Aloe came across the corpse of a human girl named Hibiki Fukunaga, "who no longer wished to walk among the living."
21	* GlamourFailure: Downplayed. [[HumanDisguise Aloe's disguise]] is otherwise perfect, but Kazuma himself is able to see the imperfections the others might not; Aloe's hot pink hair shows through her completely blonde hair on the outer layer as an off-color sheen. Even when she changes her disguises hair color to black with purple highlights, her outer pink and inner blonde yellow hair still show up in a similar fashion.
22	* MindRape: [[spoiler:Getting trapped in the insides of the [[BlobMonster Nyabominations]] subjects it's victims to horrifying hallucinations. While Maki had a more comical vision involving WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} chasing her off his swamp, Aloe and Kenji were subject to cruel re-experiences of their past: Aloe's adoptive father's death and Kenji breaking up with VideoGame/{{Pico}}.]]
23	* MythologyGag:
24	** Until a few chapters in, the tag "First few chapters aren't beta read" was instead written as "REAL YAKUZA DON'T BETA READ," referencing the "REAL YAKUZA USE A CONTROLLER" startup notice for PC versions of the ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'' series.[[note]]This however butchers the original meaning of the notice somewhat, as it and the associated "[[CerebusRollerCoaster Yakuza is a serious crime drama]]" meme come from the game's side material. While the fic ''is'' ostensibly a sidestory, it's ''critical'' to understanding certain scenes in ''VideoGame/HoloFunk'' 5.0.0's A-plot and its original trajectory.[[/note]]
25	** Kiryu's attire in the first chapter ("a white t-shirt under a blue jacket, some jeans, and a pair of boots"), is based on his appearance from the Japanese alpha build of ''VideoGame/Yakuza6''.
26	** Kenji is described as rampaging through a violent mob with the fury of a gorilla, the same animal often used to describe Kanata's unusually-high grip strength.
27	** Nyamada ends up in the pizzeria [[VideoGame/Yakuza0 because someone confused her pronunciation of "visa" for "pizza."]]
28	** Kenji and Hana's mutual friend, [[VideoGame/VsCarol Carol]], has the AffectionateNickname "C-Roll," as in her mod's first song "Carol Roll."
29	** [[VideoGame/VSWhitty Julian T. Whitmore (or rather, Jules M. Whitmore)]] finally gets that late-night snack he wanted in "Hungry," at the expense of his coworkers.
30	* RoommateCom: One was set up between Narumi and Karin, who ended up bunking together after failing to properly check their separate housing documents.
31	* SecretIdentity: Both Aloe and Lushan had to adopt a new identity to avoid dealing with their past coming back to haunt them, with their respective identities being "[[DeadPersonImpersonation Hibiki Fukunaga]]" and "Narumi Midoriyama". And Kiryu has one, due to this being set after [[FakingTheDead he faked his death]], on top of him keeping the fact that he's actually a dragon disguised as a human a secret from most people.
32	* ShoutOut:
33	** Early on, one of the tags on the story reads "Basically Aloe pulled an [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E2ThePrincipalAndThePauper Armin Tamzarian]]."
34	** Daddy Dearest keeps a stash of [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail holy hand grenades]] for the express purpose of killing demons.
