\"\"<\/a>Run your own pizza restaurant in Good Pizza, Great Pizza.\u00a0 Take orders, cook the pizza, and make sure you earn a profit in this restaurant simulation cooking game.\u00a0 It\u2019s available to download on Nintendo Switch, mobile devices, and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

Each in-game day you get a time limit to place as many orders as possible.\u00a0 After you take a customer\u2019s order, you\u2019ll switch to a screen where you make the pizza.\u00a0 Use the R stick to highlight the dough, sauce, and other toppings, and then use the L stick and A button to spread the toppings. Make sure to spread the toppings evenly and give them enough.\u00a0 Once you are done, press the R shoulder button to move the pizza to the oven, where it\u2019ll roll through a conveyor belt to cook it.\u00a0 Sometimes customers want a more well done pizza so you may have to run it through the oven twice.<\/p>\n

After the pizza is cooked, press the R shoulder button again to move to the slicing table.\u00a0 Make sure to slice the pizza evenly and pay attention if a customer wants it cut a certain way.\u00a0 Then put it in a box and give it to the customer.\u00a0 The faster you make the pizza and the more correctly you follow the order, the more money you get.\u00a0 Sometimes a customer can come in who is not what they seem so you have to pay attention.\u00a0 Do you make a pizza for a begging bum or a little girl with not enough money?\u00a0 Sometimes your kindness will pay off, but other times not.\u00a0 Or a customer will come in and order something else besides pizza, best to tell them no. Other times a shady person may come by making hints about breaking locks, so you may want to spend some money repairing your locks that night.<\/p>\n

After the day is done, you\u2019ll be sent to a screen where you can see what profits you\u2019ve earned (ingredients cost money, too, so don\u2019t waste pizzas).\u00a0 You can then use your money to buy upgrades for your shop.\u00a0 Some upgrades let you stay open longer, bring in more customers, make them happier longer, etc.\u00a0 You can also spend money to repair locks or your oven, as it wears down after a while.\u00a0 There are also restaurant decorations you can buy to customize your pizza parlor. \u00a0Everything from furniture, arcade games, posters, walls and floors, and even different pizza boxes!\u00a0 I like how some of the posters make fun of other pizza related games and media, like there are ones that look like Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even Pac-Man!<\/p>\n

The game does have a few problems, though. I do wish there was touch screen controls in handheld mode, but I couldn\u2019t figure it out if there were.\u00a0 I also found it pretty easy to press the wrong button and mess up my pizzas.\u00a0 You can throw pizzas away, but it\u2019s unclear when you can do that.\u00a0 Also the learning curve is a bit steep at first, and it was hard to actually make a profit.\u00a0 The game doesn\u2019t make it clear if you use too much ingredients sometimes.\u00a0 But as you play and unlock more toppings, it gets easier for some reason.\u00a0 Also since this game has mobile roots, progress feels a bit slow and the game is repetitive.\u00a0 But if you like making pizzas, you may want to check this one out anyway.\u00a0 It did make me hungry, though!<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 The orders can get pretty complicated, so strong reading skill is a must, and younger gamers may find it a bit too difficult.\u00a0 The game could be considered educational as you sometimes make pizzas with half toppings on certain sides, and must slice the pizzas to make certain pieces, so it teaches following directions and fraction skills. Good Pizza, Great Pizza is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
