Pizza Express
2nd Anniversary, Steam Summer Sale and More!
Can you believe it? Gastone and Lucky's pizzeria has been running for close to two years now, and it's all thanks to you!
Such an anniversary deserves to be properly celebrated, and for this very reason (well, the Steam Summer Sale helped!) Pizza Express is going to be 90% off until July 5th! That's right, you can get your very own copy of the tastiest pizzeria simulation on Steam for less than the price needed to double the cheese on your extra cheesy (real!) pepperoni pizza from your favorite establishment: only $0.69 (or £0.49)!
And if you have it already, why not share it with a friend? After all, pizza makes the world go round, and you may be pleased to hear that something is in the works for a much-requested mobile version, so stay tuned for more info soon(ish)!
In the meanwhile, have fun and enjoy your summer!
Pizza Express is 90% off!
Your eyes don't deceive you - Pizza Express is 90% off this week! Now's your chance to spread the pizza love around!
So tell your friends! Tell your family! Or gift a copy to your archenemy with carpal tunnel syndrome and worsen their symptoms (actually, please don't, that'd be cruel)!
Happy gaming!
Update: Version 1.11
- FIXED a bug which caused the game to freeze when playing Challenge mode with one lone pizza on the menu.
- FIXED a bug which caused the game to crash when trying to editing a full menu in Challenge mode after having played an Endurance game.
- FIXED occasional dialogue errors which caused the characters to mix-up the player's gender.
- FIXED a problem with the achievement Tough Like a Diamond which would fail to unlock if the objective Feynman Point: Part II had already been completed.
- FIXED faulty objects being created when viewing the results for a game in Endurance mode after pressing the Enter key to go to the next page.
- ADDED a sound effect which triggers when the player drops an ingredient on an invalid place (such as outside a pizza).
- ADDED a sound effect in Arcade mode which triggers once every second when the player has 10 or less seconds left on the clock.
- LOWERED the time needed for the achievement Wasting Your Time from 60 to 45 in-game minutes.
- UPDATED the clock in Arcade mode to shift color from white to red when running out of time.
- UPDATED the way some lines are drawn on the screen, in an effort to avoid gaps and/or overflowing. If you noticed some imperfections before, please let me know if this new patch has solved this problem!
- UPDATED localization files.
That was a somewhat lengthy list! I hope these small changes will let you enjoy the game even more. As always, suggestions and reports are very welcome on the game forums. And last but not least, a sincere thank you to Silver Owl for pointing out a whole lot of small and big issues.
Happy gaming!
Update: Version 1.10.01
Two updates in less than one week? Hopefully the world is not coming to an end!
(Terrible) Jokes aside, this patch fixes a few bugs. Here is the changelog:
- FIXED a bug which caused the game to crash whilst editing the restaurant menu in Challenge Mode.
- FIXED players being able to create a new pizza when a scarce number of ingredients in use would make impossible to do so (meaning that, for instance, should a player only use 2 toppings and one crust in their kitchen, they will be able to create and offer only 4 pizzas in total, even if their menu would allow for more).
- FIXED a graphical glitch which added a "0" in front of some results on the Endurance leaderboard.
- FIXED arrow misalignment whilst choosing whether to start a new game or load a savefile.
By now, you know the drill - have fun and please report any suspicious bug activity on the game forums! Thank you!
Update: Version 1.10
Version 1.10 should finally fix a bug which went unnoticed for a very long time. Apologies for that, and many thanks to Mogris for pointing out the problem. Now the suggestion board should work as intended! Here's the changelog:
- FIXED cutscenes related to the suggestion board not playing at all. Lucky should now occasionally read a customer's comment at the end of a workday, provided the player owns a suggestion board in their restaurant.
- UPDATED localization files.
Happy gaming, and as always, make sure to report any bug on the game forums!

But wait, I already own the game!
What could possibly be my aim?
Well, you have a friend, don't you?
Then give them something to do!

Update: Version 1.09
This is the update you were probably waiting for: improved tutorials! Yes, you can now say goodbye to Gastone's endless lectures about pizza making and skip straight to the most important points of any tutorial by pressing the spacebar!
I have also added support for AZERTY and Dvorak keyboards. Selecting a different keyboard layout will modify the set of keys used to navigate menus and orders (WASD on QWERTY/QWERTZ keyboards, QZSD on AZERTY and ,AOE on Dvorak).
Here's the complete changelog:
- ADDED support for AZERTY and Dvorak keyboards. The keyboard layout can be set in the options.
- ADDED an option to always skip tutorials.
It is now possible to navigate the profile creation menu using the WASD keys (or equivalent set). - Pressing the spacebar during any tutorial will skip the tutorial to its next most important part.
- Lucky's messages during the Atmosphere tutorial now have a longer cooldown time when an important piece of information is presented.
- FIXED a bug which caused the game to crash during the first tutorial.
- FIXED a glitch which allowed the player to use the bottom topping stations during the first tutorial.
- FIXED a bug which, in rare instances, caused the game to crash at the end of days 16 and 25.
- UPDATED the game manual.
- UPDATED localization files.
- No snow added. Weather has been unusually mild. Boohoo.
As always, if you happen to find a bug, make sure to report it on the game forums and I'll do my best to fix it ASAP!
That's all for now. Again, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful 2016!
