In post System Toronto, Alex doesn’t slay monsters to get by. He delivers pizza.

Broke and rejected by the Adventurer’s Guild and the Courier Guild, with nothing but a crumbly resume, Alex takes the only job left in town: Delivery Boy for Nino’s Pizza, a Lich Pizzeria run by a married couple literally bound to the building.

He must deliver enchanted pizza to Dungeon Bosses in sixty minutes or less, or suffer the Dungeon Bosses and the old couple’s wrath. With nothing but a seemingly useless ability, Alex must stay alive, deal with psychotic exes and Bosses, and pray for loot in place of tips.

What to Expect:

- Pizza

- Dungeon running

- Post System Integration Toronto

- Psychotic Characters

The writing is too advanced for someone like me . English is not my 1st language not even 2nd or 3rd so I can't properly enjoy or follow the story . Still i enjoyed the 12 chapters I read so I'll give full stars . And come back when understanding of English is good enough.

Loving this story so far. Nice magipunk world (is that a thing? I don’t know, maybe I made it up), good “show don’t tell” world building, likeable MC, really fun premise.  Super happy I stumbled across this story and broke my vow not to add any more stories to my follow list. Right now this is one of the stories I’m most excited to see updated on my follow list. Give it a follow, give it a read.

Hearty, filling, with a zesty tang! Delicious!

 Without a doubt my second favorite story with a pizza delivery protagonist. Who knows, when it's finished maybe it'll dethrone ol' Hiro P. himself!

 This is a very solid story. Editing seems on point and writing is skillful.  Likeable characters, an interesting setting, and the seeds of conflict are all here at a very early stage of the story without feeling rushed or overwhelming. Able to be funny without undercutting the stakes.

 The author has suggested there may be some risqué material coming up in future chapters, I can't speak to that, but with their skillful handling of what could have been a very gross or off putting sex themed Dungeon I'm fairly confident that it'll remain a fun read for anyone who isn't a hard no at any smut.

I read through the first book in 2 day's, I could not put it down. The main chactors are fantastic, Mary is the best Imo. It's a really fun story at hits close to home for me. The action is well written! It's been so much fun to read, im so excited to see what comes next.

A litrpg that doesnt take itself seriously

Reviewed at: Book 1 - Chapter 22 - Walk of Shame

This one breaks the mold, the levels, worldbuilding and what not are more flexible than a classic litrpg, and is written so that the characters are more "human". The bosses and people living in them have human quirks, highs and lows, and are not just characters following a strict guide.

The grammar, pacing, and all that is well executed too.

This makes them stand out, and is pretty interesting, looking forward to reading more.

Ridiculous, Fun, Fast-Paced Nostalgia

Reviewed at: Book 1 - Chapter 20 - Where the Fun Never Ends

This silly story has style. It's just too fun. No idea where it's going or if the author can keep this snarky comedy interesting enough for a full book. I hope to see an arc beyond just struggling to survive day by day. So far it's a fun ride with vivid descriptions of the world. Feels like you're there in the world with the MC while at the same time reliving your early twenties.

A hand full of chapters in and i’ve annoyed my family laughing at least 4 times. Please read if you like dungeon lit, comedy or general mayhem in world building. Also The pizza is good, the roommate is hot, and the city is wacky. The MC is a loveable goof.

I was a little hesitant to start this cause of the cover image but the saying is strong with this one: do not judge a book by its cover. 

Easily one of my favorite reads that leave me eager for updates. 

There is the occasional spelling error but it gets spotted quickly.

This story should be required reading for all those who enjoy light-hearted fantasy. While not the same belly-laughs that the late great Terry Pratchett would provoke, I found myself chuckling along to many of Alex's adventures and mishaps. The illusionary copy is straight-up one of my favourite current concept constructs.

Set in a post-system society, there are no great variations from many other system stories - skills, dungeons, clans, magic items etc. The premise and execution set the author's work apart, the genius concept of the lich-run pizzeria and the truly authentic feel to the business and proprietors giving the story a solid foundation to build the rest of the content on.

I like the characters, who don't feel out of the ordinary among their respective peers, are engaging and amusing throughout. The background of the various pizza enthusiasts that the MC runs into (sometimes literally) is well thought out and lends itself to the rich background that has developed.

Grammar and style are pretty good, though the editing review could be more thorough. The various issues are minor and easily resolved, and don't detract significantly from the overall experience.

All in all, I thoroughly recommend this book and have queued up the second instalment in my reading list. It's funny, witty and enjoyable and I look forward to future additions!

I Couldn't Think of a Decent Pizza Pun

Reviewed at: Book 1 - Chapter 15 - Taxes and Mr. Mystical

This is the first LitRPG I've binged in any capacity, briefly or otherwise, in a hot minute. I sat, I blinked, and suddenly I'd consumed fifteen chapters. I can and will do so again, and it will be utterly worth it.

Prose is fun, humor is superb, and the whole reading experience is a blast. The system is highly unique, as is the plot at large. Pizza Shop LitRPG isn't a concept I've ever seen before, and it's handled as enjoyably as it could possibly be. The author is way, way, way too good at describing food. I don't even like ciabatta sandwiches, nor am I big on eating pizza. I still dearly regretted reading this on an empty stomach. 

Plot absolutely shines. MC Alex gets lucky with his new job at Nino's Pizza, a little business dealing in more than meets the eye. Now, his new delivery work sees him dropping off fresh dishes to dungeons, bosses, and everything in between--on a time limit he can't afford to overstep. Again, the system in context of the story is loads of fun, in terms of where pizza buffs can lead. Pacing is lovely. Even between work days and deliveries, there's never a dull moment.

Grammar is nice and clean. A speckled amount of syntax errors and minor typos do little to impact the story at all.

Characters are phenomenal, if not the strongest point in the whole story. Alex is a wonderful MC with a fun personality, and watching him grow in his role as a delivery boy is just as much fun. Admittedly, and oddly enough, Nino and Nina themselves have my heart. Both are intriguing by design, both in terms of their lore and their mannerisms in general. I'm always thrilled to see Alex head to the shop if not only to encounter Nino again. Of every moment that made me laugh so far in this story, half of them were secondary to the resident power couple.

A complete joy of a LitRPG, and completely hilarious, to boot. 100% recommend--just eat before you read.
