Papa's Pizzeria To Go! – Strategy Game Review
Papa's Pizzeria To Go! is a Strategy/Simulation game from Flipline IDS LLC, first launched in 13th November 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 316+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Papa's Pizzeria To Go! Stand Out
Things get messy when you’re stuck running a wildly popular pizza parlor in Papa’s Pizzeria To Go! Top, bake, and serve pizzas in this award-winning game that’s reimagined for iPhone and iPod Touch.
You'll need to multitask between each area of the pizzeria, with new controls designed to work just right in the palm of your hand. Head to the Order Station to watch for customers waiting in the lobby. Switch to the Topping Station to add a variety of toppings to each pizza. Move to the Bake Station to cook the pizzas in the oven until they're baked just right. Jump to the Cutting Station to cut the pizza into perfect slices. Each station is a hands-on experience, where you'll need to drag, swipe, and tap your way through the pizza-building process.
Keep your customers happy to earn more points and level up. As your level rises, you'll unlock new toppings in the shop, and new customers will start visiting the Pizzeria! A well-crafted pizza also earns you tips, which you can spend on upgrades and decorations for the lobby!
NEW FOR PAPA'S PIZZERIA TO GO
Papa's Pizzeria To Go is redesigned and reimagined for smaller screens, so your fingers don't get in the way of the action!
CONTROL WITH YOUR THUMBS – You'll switch stations using buttons in the corners of the screen, perfect for your thumbs. You can also use buttons in the top corners to quickly switch Order Tickets, and you can view all of your Order Tickets in a zoomed-in mode for easy reading.
TOPPING STATION – We've completely redesigned the Topping Station for smaller screens. Bins of toppings can be scrolled with your thumb, which allows us to have many more toppings than in the original game. Tap on a bin to select that topping, then tap multiple times on the pizza to add items directly onto the pizza. You don't need to drag individual toppings onto the pizza, so you can top faster than ever! A quick swipe on the pizza will send it off the to the Bake Station.
BAKE STATION – Papa Louie's coal-fired oven gets an upgrade! You can buy new Oven Alarms in the Shop to help you keep track of pizzas in the oven. Simply drag an alarm onto one of the oven timers, and you'll hear an alert when that pizza is cooked just right. Buy new Oven Boosters to cook your pizzas even faster than before!
CUTTING STATION – When it's time to cut pizzas, simply touch and drag a line across the pizza to decide where to cut. If you want even more control to fine-tune your slices, you can also cut using multi-touch! Use two fingers or thumbs to move each end of the line at the same time, and release to slice your pizza. If you're having trouble cutting pizzas at the right angle, buy a variety of Cutting Guides in the Shop to cut that perfect slice!
NEW INGREDIENTS – We've added a ton of new ingredients which can't be found in the original Papa's Pizzeria. As you play the game, you'll unlock 26 unique ingredients to serve your customers!
CUSTOMIZE YOUR LOBBY – You can spend your hard-earned tips in the Shop, where you can find a variety of posters, furniture, and wallpaper styles for your lobby! Use the brand-new Lobby tool to add items to your restaurant, and move and arrange them however you like! Choose from over 140 customization items, and every item you add to the lobby will improve your Waiting Score for your customers!
UPDATED FEATURES – Serve picky closers at the end of the day, earn paychecks as you play, and try to please the finicky Food Critic to earn a Blue Ribbon!

Community Insight:
We remember playing this game with our family and friends and we didnt think we would ever find it. Seeing this in the App Store just made our day.
This game is literally the OG and is so good. We dont understand why it gets so much hate its so fun and fresh. The character designs are still so good and its OK that we cant customize ourselves because not thats not how it works in the real world.
We love the fact that you never get adds Ive seen many comments abt them losing their progress but we still havent.
Got very tedious at the end but overall, great game :).
Is game is da bestsssssssssssssssss we play for 3y.
As a mega fan of this series we were super excited to get this for such a cheap price and it is the one that started it all so we cant hate this game for bad graphics so this is one of our favorites.
Ive been playing the Papa Louie games since we were little. This was the very first one we played, and having it be a mobile game as well is so fun to be able to play on the go. One thing we will say is that it is very difficult to get a perfect score, but other than that, we love the game. Keep it up Flipline Studios.
Old but fun our mom got us this game for 99 cents good price.
We love this we have beaten the game twice, now, if we were more interested, when would the next costumer plaza come out? Also where can we even play the HD (iPad obv) but we wanna play the HD on computer.
Hi, we've been playing these games forever since they were on gaming sites, love them all and own them all. Was wondering if there any new games coming out.
Best game ever we loved this as a kid :).
The game is is really fun but the quality isnt like the newer ones and the id version has holidays and specials and also more characters. Flip line if you read this please add more stuff please.
Im 28 (29 in July) Im one of the last or a generation old enough to remember the days pre smartphone when computer games was king. The papa Louie pizza game was one of those timeless classics and those who enjoyed that game will no doubt fall in love with this one too. It even adds features the game on PC didnt have. Im happy they brought out to the mobile realm. We got a few of the papa games on our iPhone and will be sure to get more haha. Hope they can add new feature in the future. Thanks for bringing back memories :).
This game is the standard it is the past it is the present and it is the future of our generation we think in order to have a successful life you need to play this game now of days kids aint gonna play computer games so good job for papa bringing his food-eias to app stores on mobile devices he is currently making more money than ur faves tbh #papaforprez.
This Game is a great distraction! Many levels and fun challenges! Great features and upgrades! This flash legend is a must play even for those who arent familiar with Papas Gamerias.
Its a good game, we like unlocking new things but we have an issue when cutting pizzas. Whenever we try to cut from the top we accidentally tap the tickets so we end up getting the wrong order.
Who is sad that it will be gone.
This game is an apsolute abominatation.that punk roy walk in and orders something and we being the generous person we are give him an ecstatics hundred pepper and he give us a 37.dont even gets us started on papa louises.
We think you should be able to talk to the customers that would be fun we love the game but that would be very appreciative thank you.
This is the greatest game Ive ever played and its so fun and it brings back child memories.
You see the game is good but they need to add some of newer features from games like pankaria we dont know if we spelled that correct and we feel like the newer ones need to be $.99 or less just because they will probably sell better.
As dumb as the reviews about the games graphics are, we still wonder why they havent updated the graphics. Assuming they have read the reviews, it makes no sense why they wouldnt update the graphics.
This game is fun but a bit buggy and the guy you play as is kinda cutie patootie.
This game looks kind a different then HD version and released In 2007.
The game has an issue with saving your progress, we just lost an in game week of progress because the game just seems to save when it wants. Honestly it should be that after every completed day after you get paid the game should auto save and we dont know why this isnt included in a paid game.
Is there any way to recover a save? The kid we babysit pressed delete and now it's all gone.
We remember playing these games on Coolmathgames as a middle schooler. The only reason its not 5 star is because there isnt customization options like the PC version used to have. Bring that in and Ill totally change our review.
This game is incredible. We remember sitting in our classroom playing these games while doing our work. We only have one downside to this game. We believe this game would be 100% better if it has the same mini games and customization of the lobby like the other games has, such as hot Doggeria.
We got it and we want to add our name please add this.
We really love this! Its very good for our brain when we need a break. However, the part we dont like is that its old and doesnt have some of the features the newer To Go games have. (Special recipes, Customer coupons, stickers, etc.
We have reached level 99 and normally thats when the game ends and you go to the next shop like pancakes or something. But it is not doing it. So does it ever end.
Its a good game, especially to pass the time. We think there should be a newer update though cause this is the oldest one and it looks kinda blurry and older on the screen compared to the newer ones.
We love this game because its part of the Papas franchise, but it could use the daily specials like the newer ones. It helps keep it interesting. Also, Im really wanting Sushiria for mobile or iPad. Its our favorite Papas game.
The game is fun and all but why right after we bought the game it took out 7.99 from our apple pay?? Pls give our money back.
Im on an iPhone 13 and the game is extremely cropped and looks terrible. Overall, pretty fun game. Love how they added upgrades and unlockable ingredients.
Really great concept, but executed poorly. Was fun for 15 minutes. Never playing again.
When we first downloaded the app the graphics werent the best. And our screen would only let us zoom in and on the top and bottom it was black. We would really think a update would be awesome.
The resolution and animation are so low quality get a cheap android and play the HD version instead.
This game is alright not to good not to bad. The building isnt fun. The cooking feels like it takes to long. Sometimes the cutting feels unfair. There isnt much to say about this game its just mediocre. If your thinking of getting this game, please dont. Even the hd ver isint any better.
For some reason, our sons iPad has better graphics than in our iPhones. Ours is very pixelated and old! His looks newer and updated. Can anyone help us.
It is fun but after a while it gets boring. Can you add mini games like In the other papa games.
You teach how to do topping in all the other games like Pasteria but we just have to guess how the toppings go for this game?? We love this game but wow its plainly hard because of bad execution.
We know its a (classic) its good but it has low quality unlike the other games and in general we honestly dont like it and want our money back.
Us want a refund we hate it :( we wasted money on this its fine just why:/ but sill cool just want a refund but why it cost money its like a free game :(.
The game is fun for about 2 days maybe. We wish they would just run ads so all these games could be free :( definitely not buying another one.
We have almost every other game and we wanted to add this one but just the quality is not very good and its just not worth it (we wish a could get our money back).
We now see why this one is cheaper than the other ones. Honestly the pizza one was one of our favorites growing up but the app is very laggy and not living up to the og web version or the other apps. (we only have the pasta one as of right now) wish there was a refund option lol.
We are extremely disappointed by this game. The fact that we spent money just to play a game that doesnt even save your progress is ridiculous. We were up to rank 15 when we got off last night, we ended right after our shift, then we wake up this morning to see that we have somehow dropped to a rank 5??? We are so angry that we spent so much time playing this game, decorating our lobby, and buying upgrades just for non of it to save. We wish we could give zero stars!!!!!! Hope you enjoy our money.
We used to play this game when we were a kid a lot and was hoping to play it again, we bought it and then when it shows the orders the thing where it shows the day cycle gets in the way of the receipt making it hard to see, the ropings one the receipt are really hard to see and we cant tell whats what, was really looking forward ro playing too :/ we want our money back and it wont let us.
The quality is so horrible its not even worth the money. Also you barely get to do anything. Just take an order, add toppings, bake and slice the pizza. Id recommend you spend another dollar on one of the better games.
