Pizza is a board game released in 2021 for 2–4 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Citie Lo and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Move Through Deck, and Rondel.
Players work as chefs in a renowned Italian restaurant to carefully refine their cooking skills and earn points by baking and serving the customers their most desired pizzas. 4 Dice are rolled and sorted on the game board, these decide which slices can be topped with ingredients this round. Players then choose 1 ingredient card and pick a location to play on their board. The card determines the number of spaces their pawn moves and therefore where a ingredient token can be added to top a slice of pizza. Once all players have topped slices with ingredients they have a chance to serve a waiting customer. The customers are very demanding and will only eat certain types of pizza. Serving the customers the type of pizza they desire in a timely manner and as often as possible, leads to victory. After 6 rounds the player with the most victory points is the beloved pizza chef and wins the game. Playing the advanced mode adds in bonus tiles that introduce a variety of ways to score points throughout the game.
Pizza supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Pizza is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Pizza for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Pizza has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
