Pizza XXL is a board game released in 2014 for 2–5 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Łukasz Woźniak and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Memory, and Pattern Recognition.
Pizza XXL is a part of Egmont Polish game series: "Dobra gra w dobrej cenie", which means: "A good game in a good price". The game has two variant of gameplay. One is based on reflexes, the other one on memory. In the first variant there are 3 different pizzas on the table. Each pizza shows different ingredients on it. The ingredient tiles are placed face down on the table and flipped face up one by one by each player. When the players flip face up the whole set of ingredients for one of the pizza they have smash this pizza with a hand. Whoever touch it first, gains it as a point. The player who scores 3 points is the winner. In the second variant the ingredient tiles are also put face down on the table, but each player has his own pizza. Now each player can filp ingredient tile face up one after another as long as the ingredients match to those in his pizza. When he encounters wrong ingredient, he has to flip all the face up tiles face down, and the next player proceeds. When one of the players finds all the ingredients he need, he wins this round. The first player to win 3 rounds is the winner.
Pizza XXL supports 2–5 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.

The catalogue lists Pizza XXL for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
