    Pizza Tower levels are just like actual pizza joints, some have just the right amount of cheesy goodness to make me wanna come back for more, and others make me want to write an angry one-star review after failing to P-Rank pizzascare for the 50th time.

    Pizza tower is the kind of game that is like buying a pizza from a local pizzeria, you can order the whole pizza and only eat a few slices, but if you want the full experience you gotta sit there and eat the whole pizza. At some points you may feel sick and may even throw up, but afterwards, you feel accomplished. And then once you finish it you never want to touch pizza again.
