 * The plot of this episode is similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
 * Victims of Pizza Face were trapped in a similar fashion that people were in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
 * When Mikey traps the Pizza inside the freezer Ice Cream Kitty twists her head as an homage to The Exorcist, where the possessed girl not only twists her head, but also causes her room to get colder.

 * This is the second time Mikey sings "Go ninja, go ninja, go!" from the Vanilla Ice's Ninja Rap. The first being in Follow The Leader.
 * A pizza mutant melting in the furnace during the interrogation scene looked similar to the Gremlin's head in the fire place in Joe Dante's Gremlins
 * The pizzas say "eat me, eat me" in a similar fashion to the cakes in the Tiny Toons episode "Little Cake of Horrors"
 * On a phone box, it says 'The Triceratons are here', which is foreshadowing the Triceratons will be coming to the show in the future.

 * Granny Hit Squad ''
 * Omega Force 3: Revenge of the Ultor Syn (Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith) and The Stuffed 2 (A parody of the horror movie The Stuff'', which, in reality, never had a sequel).
