Gameplay

Papa's Pizzeria opens with an introduction scene where players first meet Papa Louie. He is a successful chef and needs to leave his pizza store to run his other businesses. Users play as Louie's nephew, Delivery Boy Roy, as he takes charge of the restaurant. Players learn how to make pizzas for hungry customers as they as for different cuts, cooking times, sauces, crusts and toppings. More of these add-ons are slowly introduced as players level up and progress. Different customers are unlocked as the player serves more people. The better the execution of the order, the more pleased the customer will be, and the higher they will tip.[3] These customers often make guest appearances in other Papa's Games.

In addition to cooking, players also need to design the restaurant and make upgrades. These upgrades can be purchased with the money earned from running the restaurant.
