Nothing can ever go wrong when it comes to food. Well, unless Caitlyn (one of my housemates) tries to whip up one of her concoctions that she calls food. Brrrrrrr. Ew. Nope, never again.
As much as I love my housemates and my mum’s home cooked dishes, it’s hard to beat the excitement of biting into a good ole wood-fired pizza. Blimey, is that making me drool!
Not wanting to indulge in this guilty pleasure in the wee hours of the morning, I can’t help but grab my trusty smartphone and throw myself into the gaming world to satisfy my pizza cravings (I’d bet part of you just did a facepalm right now).
That’s how my problems with Good Pizza, Great Pizza (GPGP) began. I mean... The title says it all, doesn’t it?
Made in TapBlaze, it at first looks like so many other cooking sim games that have been a staple of handheld experiences.
However, the premise here is idiotically simple. GPGP casts you as an ambitious chef who has just opened your very own pizzeria. Yet, you are pulled into a rivalry with a sinister Wario-esque pizzeria owner, as he deems that there can only be one pizzeria on this turf, capiche?
GPGP starts off simple enough: having you make a pizza by rolling out the dough, adding the sauce, cheese and a topping of choice before slicing it up. For each pizza that you make, you will gain a certain amount of coins. Sell enough pizzas, and you can enhance the restaurant. Not before long, you’ll be creating all sorts of wacky recipes. Even so, I’m still unsure which pizzeria actually uses a conveyor-style oven, but hey, if you can afford it, go nuts!
Hold that thought. It seems that I’ve got an order for aubergine pizza (Oh my giddy aunt, who the heck puts aubergine on pizzas??)
Wait, no, it’s another order for a pizza with no toppings, but she wants it to be cut in 16 slices?
Good Lord, someone help me.
What makes it worse is that the customers utter the most confusing speeches, ranging from slang to sphinx-like riddles and Edgar-Allan-Poe-esque speech. Don’t get me started on the pizza-focused news that you’ll encounter at the start of each day! Oh my, it is simply becoming more addictive just to encounter what the next customer or newscaster might just say (GPGP, what have you turned me into?).
In order to get Caitlyn out of the kitchen, I’ve dragged her into the dark side, so she doesn’t turn into an English incendiary. Phew, that was close!
Anyway, what’s not to like about pizzas? So, join me now and whip up some good ole pizzas here.
Otherwise, please follow my page to stay updated with upcoming reviews on other games. Alternatively, you can always leave a comment on your opinions about the game or recommend other games you’d like me to write a review on!
LOL I love that the owner is not just accepting orders but having an option to say 'what?' (BTW, what's Poe's reaction when you turned him down? And isn't Meat lover pizza supposed to not have seafood at all? It's just bacon, sausage and chicken or beef. )

This game is my favorite! If you like the tycoon series from the feature phone days, then this game is for you. In addition, the developer is also a professional Tycoon series developer, and the development ability is sufficient and excellent. :)
