Indie Corner: Good Pizza, Great Pizza

Ever wanted to know what it feels like to run your Pizza shop? Now you can go with TapBlaze’s newest game, Good Pizza, Great Pizza! Do your best to fulfill pizza orders from customers while making enough money to keep your shop open. Upgrade your shop with new toppings and equipment to compete against your pizza rival, Alicante!

I love simulators, but some are better on the mobile systems then on the Nintendo Switch. Good Pizza Great Pizza is one of those titles. It follows the classic story of a local pizza owner who has to compete against a Wario-esque owner on the other side of the street since there can be only one Pizza-shop in this turf, capiche.

 

Piz-Ario Time!

Good Pizza, Great Pizza starts with a tutorial, in which Piz-Ario (Pizza-Wario, I’ll wait, look at the banner), explains the basics of making pizza. Luckily the game is quite simple, to begin with – add sauce, add cheese, add a topping of choice, and it’s off to the conveyor belt. I don’t know how many Domino’s or New York Pizza’s use a conveyer-oven, but hey if you can afford it, go nuts. Slice it up in as many ways as you want and put it in a box—one pizza, ready to go.

 

 

Sure, I made that sound easy and simple, but Good Pizza, Great Pizza ramps up its difficulty pretty quick. Picky customers who want certain toppings, but dislike others. Or they want a pizza that went through the oven twice or even trice. Oh, how about a pizza cut in four of eight slices, then make sure you don’t cut it into five pieces by mistake since the approval rating will drop quicker then you can say anchovies.

Good Pizza, Great Pizza?

While you’ll be making mostly Pizza Margherita and Salami, to begin with, you can unlock a wide range of topics by completing quests and challenges. If you want to create the most authentic pizza-store experience, there is, you can also change up the way your restaurant looks. Always dreamed of having a lucky cat in your pizza store, we got you covered. But, does it comes to life on the Nintendo Switch – I’ll leave that in the middle.

 

Conclusion

Games like these are usually better when played with a complete touchscreen experience. But Nick, the Nintendo Switch, offers that in handheld! Sure does random reader of my review! But the Nintendo Switch screens were not optimized for full-on touchscreen gameplay, a mobile phone screen even more (at least, when talking about a particular genre). Especially when things get hectic, it will be a better experience on both mobile and pc than on the Nintendo Switch. Still, it’s a good simulator, and it delivers what it promises! A fun pizza-simulation game, with a fair amount of content.

6.5/10
