Alright, then I'm not wasting my time. LOL I didn't remember there being a trophy, otherwise I would've played much more!! I'm glad there's not one as I don't want to try to get one that's unattainable!! Tee hee

Thanks for the tips! I love this game, so I'll be sure to use your tips during the next game.

Wow, great guide!! rep, and 5 stars!!

although, a different way of upgrading/buying works for me.
i buy new shoes, new dough maker, new topper, then oven. i then buy new dough maker, then pizza topper. afterwards, i upgrade.

Thank you so much for the time and thought you put into this guide. PP is my favorite game, I regularly make level 12 or 13, occasionally level 14 and one time only I actually made it to level 16.

Sadly for me, I got away from playing it for a while, so now I'm back to trying to remember the patterns as I play each level. I'm pretty good up to level 11 or so, then I start getting confused again, but I know if I play enough I'll get back to where I was.

I'm going to try some of your strategies to see how they work for me, but generally speaking I've had the most luck with getting the most cash from the customers if I save my money through the first couple of levels and upgrade the topping station as quickly as I can. I've found that upgrading any of the other stations tends to leave me waiting and drumming my fingers for the toppings to be added so I can put the pizza in the oven. Especially when you get to 2 or 3 toppings, that station seems to take the longest, so upgrading it first allows me to have the next pizza ready on the dough station as soon as the topping is finished.

The other thing I've found that really helps my speed is to immediately program the next pizza as soon as I take the previous one off the maker. It took me a long time to figure out that I can hold the pizza in my hand and program the next one before heading off to the topping station. This seems to be the only station that will allow that, i.e. you can't program toppings for the next pizza before you put the previous one in the oven. Maybe a better way to explain is this....if you take a pizza to the topping station, and there is already a pizza there being topped, you can't pick up the topped pizza or add any more toppings while you still have the untopped pizza in your hand. Likewise, if you try to pick up a cooked pizza with an incomplete pizza in your hands, you will instead place the plain cheese pizza in the oven, if there's room. Only on the pizza maker can you take a pizza off the maker and immediately program the maker for the next pizza while still holding the one you just picked up.

Finally, I've also noticed that the toppings always go in order from left to right. For example if you have olives, peppers and pineapple as your topping choices, in that order, the customers order will always also be in that order. In this example, a customer will never order a pizza with pineapple and olives, it will always be olives first and then pineapple. This sometimes help to simplify things if you've got a long line of customers and multiple pizzas in various stages of preparation.

If someone else already added these tips, I'm sorry for the duplicate. I haven't read all the replies to your post, so these may already be there, but I wanted to share some strategies I've found helpful.

Gave your post 5 stars and rep, your list of the pizza sizes and # of toppings will help me greatly in trying to achieve the levels I enjoyed before I took a break from the game. KUDOS!!

There's no difference at all. And, RHPmom, that was a really great post. Lots of great tips. Thanks to both of you for stopping by.
