Evaluation

Pizza Bandit launched into Early Access on August 25, 2025 and remains actively in development. The developer, JOFSOFT, has maintained a consistent cadence of updates since launch — shipping feature patches roughly every 2–4 weeks, covering major systems like the NICO companion NPC (September 2025), animation overhauls and Halloween content (October 2025), a full Elite monster system rework and Christmas seasonal content (December 2025), and ongoing balance and quality-of-life improvements through December 2025. As recently as June 18, 2026, the developer explicitly stated that "the kitchen isn't closed" and that they are "still hard at work on future updates for Pizza Bandit." Several features were also outlined in earlier dev logs as planned but not yet shipped: NICO upgrades and skin customization, level modifiers, Black Elites (a higher-difficulty enemy tier), items that affect cooking, and a new cooking stage. The developer has also noted that animation work and other polish efforts are ongoing in preparation for an eventual 1.0 release. This is a game that is actively being developed toward a full release, with the developer engaged, communicative, and continuing to add content.

About this game

Pizza Bandit is a mission-based 4-player online co-op third-person PvE shooter.

A former bounty hunter finally buys the pizza shop he's always wanted—only to find it empty. To build it, he'll have to pick up the guns again.

🔥 Close-Quarters Combat

Battles unfold in tight spaces where movement is survival. Time your dodge-rolls, manage your stamina, and find firing angles as enemy hordes close in. Positioning and teamwork determine whether your squad extracts—or gets wiped. Friendly fire is always on.

🍳 Cooking Under Fire

Cooking isn't a side activity—it's a mission objective. Fail to complete orders, and the mission fails. Prepare meals under enemy pressure. Every second spent plating is a second you're exposed.

🔫 Loadout & Progression

Every mission starts with your loadout. Choose weapons, gadgets, and abilities that shape how you fight. Complete contracts to unlock stronger gear and new build options for tougher missions.

🍽️ Build the Dream

Between missions, invest your earnings into the pizzeria you're trying to bring to life. Upgrade equipment, decorate the space, and turn an empty shop into something worth fighting for.

🤝 1–4 Player Online Co-op

Play solo or squad up with up to four players online. Missions scale to your squad size, but tight spaces and friendly fire demand real coordination. Coordination is survival.

🚧 Early Access

Pizza Bandit is currently in Early Access. The core combat and mission systems are fully playable, and we're actively expanding the game.

Upcoming updates are planned to include new mission sets, enemy variants, and mission modifiers that alter rules, difficulty, and environments—alongside expanded loadouts and deeper restaurant progression.

We're building this alongside the community, and feedback directly shapes future updates.
