The Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! online slot by Pragmatic Play partner studio, Reel Kingdom. And the theme is, wait for it, Pizza!
And Reel Kingdom have gone all out to pay homage to everybody’s favourite fast food.
The grid is in the shape of a pizza slice with five reels and two rows at the thin end, expanding to six at the top. The symbols slide sideways onto the grid, rather than from top to bottom.
Potential wins are formed by landing matching symbols land on adjacent reels from the starting reel. The symbols are 10-A card ranks, paying 1-2x the bet for five-of-a-kind. The premiums are pizza toppings, chilli peppers, mushrooms, olives, leaves, and sausage, worth a maximum of 2.5-10 times the stake for a combination of five matching symbols.
The Chili symbols land with bet multiplier values attached in all stages of the game, but in the base game, only award line wins. The cash values can’t be collected until the bonus round kicks in.
The Scatter is the game's logo. This can land anywhere on the grid, and three or more in view trigger the Free Spins. During these, players will see two pizza truck symbols added to the mix, one silver and one gold.
These are Wilds and will replace regular symbols to help create winning combinations. But they also add to the win potential of the round by acting as the Collect symbol for the Cash Collect feature.
The bonus round triggers with 3, 4, or 5 Scatters, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. When the round triggers, the grid expands to reveal half a pizza, but only one slice is highlighted. This is the game area until a Golden Wild lands.
During the Free Spins, the chilli pepper money symbols with values of 2x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or 2,000x the bet can be collected. Whenever either of the Wild symbols hit, they collect the value of all money symbols in view. Golden Wilds also unlock the rest of the pizza, collecting any money symbols in view.
Wilds are also collected when they land, with every fourth wild retriggering the round with an increased multiplier. The retrigger starts when the current batch of Free Spins ends, and the multiplier is applied to the money symbol wins only.
Finally, if a Wild lands with no money symbols in view, these can be added randomly to the reels at the end of the spin. A bottle of hot ketchup appears and randomly splashes positions, turning the symbols into money symbols.
For 100x the bet, players outside the UK can buy into the Free Spins. If this option is activated, 3, 4, or 5 scatters will randomly land on the next spin to trigger the bonus round.
Visually, Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! is a feast for the eyes. And the gameplay is fast and fun, with the Cash Collect and expanding grid in the Free Spins adding an extra splash of spice. It’s also a very high-volatility game, so always remember to set a loss limit before playing. Give it a go at Gala Spins. Good Luck!
