About Pizza Ninjas
Welcome to the world of Pizza Ninjas, where 90s nostalgia meets cutting-edge blockchain innovation! Pizza Ninjas is an exclusive collection of 1,500 unique Profile Picture (PFP) inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain, crafted by Ninjalerts in collaboration with NFT artist Boozy.btc. Launched in January 2024, this Bitcoin Ordinals project redefines digital art with its vibrant orange backgrounds, crisp designs, and a playful nod to the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles era.
Each Ninja is inscribed on rare "pizza satoshis," tied to the historic 2010 Bitcoin Pizza Day transaction, making them a delicious slice of crypto history.
Design Philosophy
Built for Web3
Pizza Ninjas were meticulously crafted to be distinctive, clean, and awesome at any size. From Twitter's tiny 40x40 pixel profile pictures to Discord's animated avatars, every detail was designed to shine across all platforms where Web3 communities gather.
The Ordinals Orange
The vibrant orange backdrop isn't just aesthetic—it's a statement. It represents individuals with open minds who approach matters critically, perfectly capturing the ethos of the Bitcoin Ordinals community.
Five Core Design Principles
- Simple yet unique - each Ninja stands out while maintaining visual cohesion
- Eyes and accessories drive differentiation - the soul of each character
- Selective "extra" details - thoughtfully placed to add personality
- Intentional color combinations - creating harmony across the collection
- Cultural homage - celebrating 90s nostalgia and Bitcoin culture
Platform Optimization
- Twitter Spaces: Vibrant colors and smart positioning respect interactive features like "raised hands"
- Discord: Each Ninja includes an animated GIF that activates during voice calls and message interactions
- Profile Pictures: Remain crisp and recognizable even at the smallest sizes

Pizza Pets: The Ultimate On-Chain Adventure
Take your Pizza Ninjas experience to the next level with Pizza Pets, the groundbreaking Tamagotchi-inspired deflationary game inscribed directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. Born from the same innovative spirit as Pizza Ninjas and crafted in collaboration with the MegaPunks art team, Pizza Pets launched in late 2024 as an exclusive airdrop for Ninja holders.
Collect from 11 unique pet types and nurture them through six thrilling stages of evolution, feeding them pizza, beer, and even wild consumables for risky boosts. But beware: neglect your pet, and it could face permanent "death," adding a deflationary twist where only the strongest survive to become legendary "Immortals."
Fully on-chain with no off-chain dependencies, Pizza Pets blend nostalgia with real consequences, turning every decision into an eternal inscription on Bitcoin's immutable ledger. With over 58,000 pets minted and thousands still thriving, this isn't just a game—it's a community-driven saga of survival, strategy, and Bitcoin lore.
In the Wild
From Sotheby's auctions to community-driven "pizza parties," Pizza Ninjas and Pizza Pets have taken the Web3 world by storm, blending bold aesthetics with a sense of camaraderie and innovation that defines the Bitcoin Ordinals movement.
