Pizza Palace Patterns: a Method to the Madness -- See Tip 1 for new Upgrading Strategy

[cuffy]

I know the toppings are random each time we play, but are the locations the same? What I mean is, say level 2 the toppings are Olive, Pineapple, Tomato. we'll call them Left, Center, Right. Pizza #1 calls for Pineapple, (center) number 2 is plain, and the third calls for olive and tomatoe (left and right).

The person next to me is also on level 2, but their toppings are Sausage, tomato, and olive (left, center right.) Would their first piszza be Center (tomato) #2 plain, and #3 be sausage and olive? (left and right?)

If that's the pattern that might be the key to saving a few seconds. I know a few seconds don't count much in the earlier stages, but in the upper levels, (10+) each second counts. If you know that customer #12 is going to order a 1/2 pizza with a "center' topping you can get it started before they even walk up to the counter.

I had the same thought it would save you a lot of time, but it doesnt work that way. An example sometimes on level 2 your first 2 pizzas may be the same thing and sometimes you play your first 2 pizzas will still be 1/4 pizzas with one topping but have a different topping

I love the pattern. I knew that for the first full round, but didn't know the rest. Thank you.

Thanks for the information. I have tried an early upgrade of the oven, but it's so expensive that it's easier to buy more equipment.

Kodiak,

Excellent job on this thread! I never thought to look for a guide on here and I had been keeping a notepad with all this info on my desktop! LOL!

I did want to offer one piece of my own strategy advice. You can successfully clear levels 1-5 for the max amount of money with the slowest shoes, so I don't find that to be my first upgrade. The only advantage in this game is that you can know the pattern of the size of pizzas, so I purchase a new dough maker after level three as you can start making the pizzas even before you go and take a customer's order.

Anyway, obviously different strategies work for everyone. Thanks for all your hard work!

Oooh, Kodiak, I'm the same way on my laptop! You MUST buy a USB mouse for your laptop - you'll get much further! Ask Santa for one, as they're fairly common and inexpensive now. Just don't tell anyone it's for Pizza Palace LOL! It's also the only way I can KinzPost Sort or Grocery Clerk!

AWESOME guide! I figured out the pattern too, but I think your tips are fantastic and you've done a wonderful service to WI to put so much effort into writing a great & informative guide!

your posting of level 17 matched what I saw but 16 played much different for me

it started with three 1/4 plain pizzas, followed a big pause (I guess to give you cooking time), then by six to nine 3 topping 1/1 pizzas (not quite sure I lost count), and then 3 -2 topping 1/2 pizzas,

this was only my second shot at levels 16 and 17 so I will try and get back there to let you know

---------- janna479 added 737 Minutes and 33 Seconds later ----------

level 16 played the same for me again - again I lost count but I believe it is 7 whole pizzas, it definitely begins with the three 1/4 and ends with the three 1/2

I had lost one life on 15 so I only had the one shot at 16 so instead of keeping careful count, I went for the win - next time I will take screen shots and keep better count

1) 1/4 (0)
2) 1/4 (0)
3) 1/4 (0)
4) 1/1 (3)
5) 1/1 (3)
6) 1/1 (3)
7) 1/1 (3)
1/1 (3)
9) 1/1 (3)
10) 1/1 (3)
?
11) 1/2 (2)
12) 1/2 (2)
13) 1/2 (2)

janna, thank you for your post. I have been too busy to play this game much lately, and I never have made it to level 16. I have no reason to doubt your recitation of the level 16 pattern, but it is inconsistent with what another gamer told me on this thread. Perhaps this level actually changes from one game to the next. I will have to start playing the game and see if I can advance and try to verify your information. Thanks again for posting.

Hi Kodiak, I've got screen shots for you of level 16, I am playing in the tournament arena if you think maybe that is the difference.

I managed to get the screen shots and still win, level 17 is a killer though, but until a couple of days ago I though level 15 was unbeatable.

I forgot to add that the perfect score for level 15 is 1575
