Cooking Fever – Pizzeria Strategy Guide
Level Guide
Use this level guide to help develop your playing strategy.
Number of Guests
– This number can be an indicator of how much people will order and
what they may be ordering. After Level 15, a low number of guests might
mean that they will be ordering multiple menu items or it could be an
indicator that there won’t be enough earnings to get 3 stars unless you
hand out treats or increase the price of the popular items. A high
number of guests might be an indicator that many guests will be just
ordering beverages or an add-on item instead of the main dishes.
First Orders
– These are the first food items that customers will be ordering when
the Level starts. There is a slight delay before the first customer
shows up, so use this information to prepare their orders in advance and
get a jump start on the level.
Popular Foods –
These are menu items that are ordered often during the level. Prepare
these items in advance and store them on your Tabletop or on warmers so
that they are ready to hand out as soon as they are ordered. Upgrading
these items before starting the level can also increase your level
earnings.
Noteworthy – This is extra information that might be helpful during the level.

Strategy and Upgrade Tips
- Get in the
habit of routinely clicking on the Popcorn machine throughout a level to keep it
fully stocked at all times even when its already full. It doesn’t
refill itself automatically like the Juice Dispenser. - If a pizza is done cooking but you don’t have tabletop space, prevent it from burning by pulling it out of the oven and holding it until you can serve it.
- All pizzas have cheese, so add cheese to each immediately after putting dough on your cooking table top
- Unless you are extremely fast at multi-tasking, you shouldn’t upgrade your oven higher than Level 2
- Because there are so many pizza variations, it is not necessarily possible to pre-cook pizzas. Combo pizzas take longer to prepare, so upgrade as many Interior items as possible that increase your customer’s wait time and tip time.
- Upgrades to food items only increases profits by 1 coin, so several upgrades were necessary.
- To get 3 stars for many of the levels over 20, it was cheaper to give treats to customers than to upgrade Kitchen items
- If you have fully upgraded all your Kitchen Tabletops, having a pre-cooked Round and Rectangle Cheese Pizza can be handy because there’s always one or two customers that just want a cheese pizza.
