New York City can keep its filthy pizza rat -- here in Portland, it's all about the pizza squirrel.

Portlander Boaz Frankel, host of the Pedal Powered Talk Show, uploaded footage of a squirrel munching on a slice of 'za in a Southeast neighborhood earlier this week, which immediately begs for comparison between itself and New York's pie-loving rodent.

So, what do we call the inevitable comic book crossover? I might suggest "Pizza Rat v Pizza Squirrel: Dawn of Rodent Justice." Or "Pizza Rat Meets Pizza Squirrel: Electric Boogaloo."

As long as Zack Snyder doesn't direct, I'm cool with it.

In all seriousness, if these two creatures throw down in a viral video title fight, my money's on the squirrel.

Pizza rat lazily drags a slice of pie down a set of stairs. Pizza squirrel, on the other hand, ascends a power pole with a piece, surveying his kingdom from on high.

Just check him out:
