- The Full Experience: Manage every step of the pizza-making process, from buying ingredients and kneading dough to topping and serving.
- The Narrative: A 21-day single-player campaign where you rebuild your grandfather’s legacy while fending off rivals and the mafia.
- Competitive Cooking: Features “Inferno Ristorante,” a high-stakes 3v3 team-based multiplayer mode.
- The Pedigree: Developed by Quest Craft and published by the Polish simulation giants PlayWay, Gaming Factory, and Ultimate Games.
Get ready to preheat your ovens. Quest Craft has officially announced that their comprehensive pizza management simulator, Pizza Slice, will debut on PC (Steam) on March 13, 2026. Combining the frantic energy of an arcade cook-off with the depth of a business sim, the game aims to be the definitive “pizza-pilled” experience for 2026.
Mastering the Art of the Perfect Pie
Unlike many restaurant games that automate the cooking process, Pizza Slice demands manual precision. Players step into the shoes of Tonio, who has inherited a struggling pizzeria from his grandfather, Stefano.
The Gameplay Loop:
- Manual Prep: You don’t just click a button; you manually chop ingredients, knead the dough to the right consistency, and carefully distribute toppings.
- Oven Mastery: Watch the heat. Leaving a pie in too long results in a charred mess, while pulling it too early will disappoint the hungry New York crowds.
- Service with a Smile: Once the pizza is ready, you must navigate the dining room to serve customers. Efficiency is rewarded with higher tips and better ratings.
21 Days to Pizzeria Glory
The core of the game is a narrative-driven 21-day campaign. Starting with a run-down shop and a lazy cousin named Alfonso as your only help, you must transform the space into a New York landmark.
As the days progress, the challenge ramps up. You won’t just be fighting the clock; you’ll have to deal with health inspectors, mystery critics, and “sabotage” from local rivals and the mafia. Successfully navigating these hurdles unlocks the Endless Mode, allowing you to run your empire without the constraints of a ticking calendar.
Inferno Ristorante: The 3v3 Cooking War
For those who prefer competition over cooperation, Pizza Slice introduces Inferno Ristorante. In this multiplayer mode, two teams of three go head-to-head in a chaotic kitchen battle.
- The Setup: Teams must gather ingredients and prep stations under pressure.
- The Challenge: Customers enter and place specific orders. The team that serves the most high-rated pizzas within the time limit wins.
- Tactical Sabotage: You can defend your kitchen or find ways to slow down the opposing team, making it a test of both culinary skill and strategic coordination.

The “PlayWay” Seal of Approval
The game benefits from the massive infrastructure of the PlayWay S.A. family. Known for hits like Car Mechanic Simulator and House Flipper, PlayWay’s decentralized development model has turned Poland into a global hub for simulation games. Pizza Slice follows this tradition, having undergone extensive community playtests throughout late 2025 to ensure the “tactile” feel of the dough-kneading and topping placement is just right.
Initial Buzz: “Overcooked’s Serious Cousin”
Early testers have dubbed the game the “serious cousin of Overcooked.” While it retains the frantic multiplayer fun of the hit indie series, Pizza Slice leans more into a realistic—yet stylish—representation of a 1960s New York pizzeria. The added layer of restaurant management and the looming threat of the mob add a unique narrative flavor rarely seen in the genre.
