Pizza Cafe Game Review

Pizza Cafe Game Background

Pizza Cafe is a timed food serving game. Layer ingredients to form various pizzas and serve them to the hungry customers who ordered them. Meet as many orders as you can to earn the target amount before the timer runs out.

How to Play Pizza Cafe

On the welcome screen, select Play Game to open the level selection screen. Choose the level you want to play. You can also learn the basics of the game by selecting Tutorial on the welcome screen.

To select, left click with your mouse or tap on the screen with your fingers.

Select the ingredients that make up the pizza shown onscreen. Once you’ve assembled the pizza, select it to serve. You don’t need to wait until the food is cooked before serving. The pizza will appear to the left of the conveyor then to the customer. You also have the option of sliding the pizza to the customer by selecting it and dragging; while not strictly necessary, we recommend doing this if the customer is far from the pizza.

Customers leave behind money on the table after they’ve finished eating the pizza. Collect this money before it disappears.

To win the level, you must meet the target amount of money before the timer runs out. The timer is shown on the top center of the game screen and the amount of money you’ve earned to the left of it.

Basic Gameplay Advice

You can read the customer’s orders from the image on the thought balloon. Use the recipe book on the left center edge to find out what ingredients to use to make a specific pizza. Unlike some of our other games, the ingredients can be placed in any order.

Customers grow dissatisfied with your service if left unserved for a long period of time. Customer satisfaction is measured through the number of hearts shown above their thought balloons. If the customer sits without a pizza for too long, they will leave unsatisfied. The greater a customer’s satisfaction, the higher their payment would be.

You only have a limited number of ingredients to make pizzas. Should you run out, order new ones based on what you need to keep making pizzas. To order, select the phone. This will pause the game and open the ingredients menu. Pick out the ingredients you need to buy, then close the window. The cost of the ingredients you bought will be deducted from your earnings.

The game has 12 levels, which are unlocked sequentially. Each level adds a new pizza recipe to the possible orders customers may make. You can replay any of the levels you’ve previously beaten.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Immediately serve the pizzas as you make them, then drag them to the customer who ordered them first. Dragging orders to a customer is vital to maintain maximum satisfaction with each order. Customers don’t always sit close to where their orders appear, and a customer sitting on the left who appeared later may end up taking their order before they can be served.

We recommend ordering some ingredients (dough, cheese, tomato sauce) as soon as they run out. You cannot buy in bulk in this game.

Educational Aspects

The game is a simplified business simulator. It introduces players to important elements of food service such as meeting orders and serving customers in a timely manner. The fast pace of the game also hones reaction times.

Player Age Recommendations

This game is suited for older children and adults alike. Its fast pace makes it ideal for fans of timed cooking games.
