Pizza! Pizza? Pizza!: Slot Overview

Pizza! Pizza? Pizza!, henceforth referred to more simply as Pizza, Pizza, Pizza, is an online slot exploring a particular culinary delight from Pragmatic Play and partner Reel Kingdom. There are no prizes for guessing what that culinary delight might be – bingo, pizza! Sorry, we had to pop one more exclamation point in there just for the lols. At first glance, the connection might not be super apparent, but Pizza, Pizza, Pizza is actually a distant relation of certain mega hits in the Pragmatic Play line-up, so brace for an alternative serving of Big Bass Bonanza, with way more cheese.

Speaking of cheese, the yellow stuff literally drips off the game board, which is aligned in one of two ways, depending on how you view it. Shaped like a slice, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza's game grid has a 2-3-4-5-6 layout, where symbols pay left to right in portrait mode or bottom to top in landscape. It's funny, the visuals are quite basic, but at the same time, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza is one of the more appealing pictures the Reel Kingdom/Pragmatic Play collab has produced. Maybe the amiable visuals are simply down to the inherent appeal pizzas possess. Another thing that helps is having a merry as blazes tune play for your listening pleasure, and Pizza, Pizza, Pizza's overall sensory effect is a rather pleasing one.

Let's squeeze in an interesting fact gleaned from Wikipedia before we get to the numbers side of the business. Did you know that the first documented use of the word 'pizza' dates all the way back to 997 AD in a place called Gaeta, followed in other parts of Southern and Central Italy? Amazing to think pizza pies have been enjoyed for over 1,000 years. Anyhoo, back to Pizza, Pizza, Pizza which is a medium/high volatile slot (rated 4 out of 5) and comes with three RTP settings. The largest return value is 96.04%, remaining the same whether placing regular bets of 20 p/c to $/€100 per spin, activating the Ante Bet, or buying free spins. The Ante bet increases the stake by 50%, providing a better chance to land scatters.

The focus in Pizza, Pizza, Pizza really is on launching free spins where the money symbol collection comes into play. Alongside it, regular line wins are there to keep the game moving and occur when matching symbols land on adjacent reels from the starting reel onwards. On the lower side of the paytable are doughy looking 10-A card royals, paying 1-2x the bet for five-of-a-kind, while the highs are peppers, mushrooms, olives, leaves, and meat, worth 2.5-10 times the stake for a line of five winning symbols. Wilds appear only in the bonus round, where they can substitute for any pay symbol, amongst other things.

Pizza! Pizza? Pizza!: Slot Features

Hitting 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols in the base game triggers 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. In free spins, pepper symbols, which are also the money symbols, land holding values of 2x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or 2,000x the bet. Whenever wild symbols hit, they each collect the total value of all money symbols in view. There is a regular wild and a Golden Wild. Golden Wilds expand the game grid to 6-9-12-15-18 in size after any line wins are paid and then collect any money symbols on the expanded panel. Line wins do not occur on the expanded grid, which resets after the collection.

Wilds are also collected whenever they hit. For every fourth wild collected, +10 free spins are retriggered along with a multiplier. Retrigged free spins begin when the current batch of spins ends, and the multiplier is applied to money symbol collects only. The first retrigger awards an x2 multiplier, the second retrigger an x3, and the third retrigger has an x10. After the third retrigger, no more retriggers are possible. Lastly, when there is only one wild symbol in view, at the end of a spin, money symbols can randomly appear in random positions.

Eligible pepper fans who want to cut to the money-collecting chase can do so by buying free spins for the cost of 100x the bet. When bought, 3, 4, or 5 scatters randomly land to launch the feature.

Pizza! Pizza? Pizza!: Slot Verdict

Maybe it's because the pizza factor was so strong with this one, but Pizza, Pizza, Pizza was an enjoyable game to review. It's not exactly a highly sophisticated slot machine, or very original for that matter, but neither is pizza, and you have to try pretty hard not to enjoy a slice. As stated above, the game is easy on the eye, and the sounds are buoyant, making it easy to slink back in your seat, get comfy, and see what Pizza, Pizza, Pizza serves up on the plate.

What it serves up is, well, it's essentially Big Bass Bonanza in a completely different setting. Collecting peppers doesn't make quite as much sense as an angler pulling fish out of the briny, but it was no less entertaining in practice. The grid layout makes sense, being shaped like a slice of pizza and all, though it'll be interesting to see if the decision to do it like this proves to be a pro or a con out in the wild. It helps that Pizza, Pizza, Pizza uses a ways-to-pay system rather than the 10 paylines of Big Bass Bonanza, though symbol values here are a lot different, presumably to compensate. On one bright side, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza's potential is significantly higher than Big Bass Bonanza, coming at 7,200 times the stake.

Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom have done a nice job of blending gaming elements and theme together so thoroughly. In general, pizza is a reliable amalgamation of hearty ingredients, cooked just so as to hit a certain spot. A similar effect is produced by Pizza, Pizza, Pizza, where, if you are familiar with the gameplay, you'll pretty much know what you are going to get and can tuck in without major fear of being disappointed. This goes both ways, though, so if you're not in the mood for another interpretation of Big Bass Bonanza, then Pizza, Pizza, Pizza might come across as a bit too cheesy, a little over greasy, depending on your mood. But hey, it's pizza; it's hard not to like.

Good

While not exactly gourmet dining, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza delivers a cheesy, greasy, fun version of the Big Bass Bonanza-style feature set.
