"Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service" is the 13th episode of the third season of Steven Universe and the 91st episode overall.
Official Synopsis
When Steven accidentally projects himself into Kiki’s dreams and saves her from a giant pizza monster, she asks him to help her out with what turns out to be a nightly stress dream. [2]
Plot
Steven prepares a fancy looking table. Someone knocks on the door. Steven is eager to answer it. On the other side awaits Kiki's Pizza, delivering the pizzas that Steven ordered. They both greet each other. Steven is surprised by the fact that Kiki is making the deliveries this time, instead of Jenny. Kiki reveals that Jenny blew the delivery car's tires by blasting one of Sour Cream's mix tapes and took the car to the repair shop, meaning Kiki has to do the deliveries on foot.
Kiki leaves to make other deliveries, and then Steven prepares to eat. Hours later, the table is a mess, and Steven is seen sleeping on the couch while covered in sauce.
Steven then dreams up with rocket feet and flies around while giggling and signs his initials in clouds. After gazing at the cheese, he sees a hand grasping onto him for dear life, only to learn that it belongs to Kiki. Kiki is then attacked by big cheesy hands, which Steven then destroys with rockets from his elbow joints. Kiki then thanks "Dream Steven" as Steven rockets away on Dogcopter.
The next day Steven walks over to Fish Stew Pizza to tell Kiki the bizarre dream he had, only to see Jenny begging her to cover for her again so she can go to a metal show. Kiki agrees, Jenny leaves in the Pizza car and then Kiki talks with Steven. As Steven describes his dream, Kiki is shocked to find out she had the same dream as him, because Steven was actually in her dream. Steven initially apologizes, only to see Kiki delighted because of Steven she had the first good night of sleep in weeks. Steven then agrees to help fight the cheese monsters in Kiki's dreams.
Days go by as Steven continues to fight in Kiki's dreams, all the while Kiki taking on more favors from Jenny. The more times Steven helps out, the more physically exhausted he clearly becomes. At one point, Steven became so exhausted that he sleeps in until 3:00 PM much to his own surprise. He then tells Kiki that she should quit her job because judging from her dreams she has a problem with pizza. Steven then tells her that they shall go into her dreams one more time, but that he cannot help her.
Inside the dream, they are once again attacked by pizza cheese which they initially defend against. Steven then realizes that they should go into the cheese, where anchovies and pepperaihnas attack them. At the end of the cheese cavern, they see a pizza version of Jenny who continues to ask Kiki for favors to which Kiki says no problem to even though she clearly has a problem with it. Steven points this out, telling her that her feelings matter which makes Kiki finally say no to Pizza Jenny which she accepts.
The next day, Steven goes to check on Kiki only to find Jenny sweeping up. She reveals that after a talk with her sister, Jenny graciously gave Kiki a day off for her to run as much as she wants without pressure. Delighted that things went well, Steven falls asleep on the boardwalk.
