Our take on Pizza Bandit
The mission format makes cooking part of the combat objective rather than a separate activity. That creates a specific constraint: time spent preparing orders leaves players exposed, while failed orders can end the mission.
What is Pizza Bandit?
Pizza Bandit is a mission-based third-person PvE shooter for solo play or online squads of up to 4 players.
Missions combine close-range combat with cooking orders that must be completed to succeed. Players manage stamina, dodge, choose firing positions, and coordinate while friendly fire remains on. Each mission begins with a chosen set of weapons, gadgets, and abilities. Completing contracts unlocks gear and additional build options for harder missions. Between missions, earnings can be spent upgrading equipment and decorating the pizzeria. The game is in Early Access; its combat and mission systems are playable, with additional mission sets, enemy variants, modifiers, loadouts, and restaurant progression planned.
