The Adventures of Dog Mendonça & Pizzaboy is a comic book trilogy, created by Filipe Melo and illustrated by Juan Cavia and Santiago Villa.

A young pizza delivery boy, a middle aged werewolf, a six-thousand-year-old demon and the severed head of a gargoyle are about to face the forces of evil that threaten mankind.

The books were published in Portugal by Tinta-da-China and in the U.S. by Dark Horse Comics. Aside from the 3 volumes, the team was invited to write a story for an anthology celebrating the 25th anniversary of Dark Horse Presents, also featuring works by Frank Miller and Mike Mignola. The story was later published in the book The Untold Tales of Dog Mendonça and Pizzaboy. The books have forewords by legendary directors John Landis, George A. Romero and Tobe Hooper.

Eurico Catatau is a young pizza delivery boy. After witnessing his motorbike being stolen by a gargoyle, he hires João Vicente "Dog" Mendonça, private investigator of the occult, and his assistant Pazuul Nhgwaiatuu. Together they soon realise that the problem is bigger than they expected. Accompanied by the head of the gargoyle responsible for the theft, they will face the underworld of the Lisbon sewers, in a crazy adventure that will cross the boundaries of your imagination.

Dog, Pizzaboy, Pazuul and Gargoyle are back and this time they will have to face the Apocalipse, as described in the Book of Revelation. Plagues of insects, giant creatures, two hundred thousand demons invade Earth, dragging our heroes on an adventure of biblical proportions! The fate of the world will be decided in Lisbon ...again!

Eurico is now married and father of two. Dog Mendonça and Pazuul are kicked out of their mansion by the Portuguese government, and they join Eurico and his family. Dog has a gig as Santa Claus at the local shopping center, but an enemy from the past returns to haunt him. The team must get together one last time to save the world.
