Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Pizza Party
Customer Review: Melissa and Doug Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
After playing with dented plastic and ripped up paper food, I decided to splurge on some nice wooden food pieces hoping they would last longer than the others. The Melissa and Doug Pizza Party is a hit with my three year old that I buy it for all of her friends for their birthdays too.
The pizza consists of eight wedges with velcro on the top for the coin-sized toppings and on the sides to help it stick together to form a whole pizza. With two small children in my house and lots of friends playing with it frequently, I love that there are a ton of extra toppings, as some are bound to get lost, but we still have plenty to spare. My only concern with the toppings is that they are small (slightly larger than a quarter) and my 1 year old likes to put them in his mouth. Obviously, this toy is intended for older kids for that reason.
The pizza comes on a wooden tray (which looks like a real pizza box, less the lid), on a wooden plate, with a pizza cutter and server. This is such a fun toy and is great for small kids to emulate their parents preparing pizza for dinner.
Customer Review: Great Imaginative Play
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my 4 year-old grandson for Christmas, and I've recently had the opportunity to visit and see him playing with it firsthand. He LOVES it. He is "making pizza" several times a day and has even picked up that his uncle doesn't like mushrooms and leaves those off his slice! The toy is exceptionally well made; no stickers that will peel off and no rough edges. The velcro that attaches the toppings to the pizza is also very sturdy. The serving pieces are nice surprise. Very realistic and built well for small hands. One of the things I found ingenious was that the pizza pieces velcro together in the pan, so when it child "slices" the pizza, there is some resistance which really adds to the imaginative play! I would not hesitate to purchase this again. I love Melissa and Doug toys and was thrilled to see their quality has not deteriorated like so many other things these days. There ARE a lot of pieces, but so what? That's part of having kids. At least they are quality, sturdy pieces!Customer Review: Great toy

We got this for our (twin)grandsons for their second birthday. Here is the excerpt from their mother's blog:
"Here's a re-enactment of this morning: silence...silence..."PIZZA WHEEL! PIZZA WHEEL! TOBIN PIZZA WHEEL! ZAC-EE PIZZA WHEEL!" When I went to their room to get them up they both pushed past me and ran out to the living room to find the pizza wheel from their new pizza toy. They were alarmed to find that their presents had been put away and the pizza wheel was no longer atop a pile of presents and wrapping. I had to get out a timer to give timed turns of the thing. I'd say they like it! Zachary was holding the pizza plate on his hand like a waiter and saying "green eggs and ham" and "ish wish dish" (from One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish)."
Best of all, it doesn't take batteries and make sound every time you touch it.
Needless to say, grandpa's workshop had to make a second pizza wheel and spatula.
Customer Review: Love the product, wish it came w/a lid for the toppings!
Summary: 4 Stars
My 5 year old got this for her last birthday and just loves making different kinds of pizza for the family. It is so cute! THe 5 pieces of pizza are velcro'd together so you get to cut them apart and stick 3 toppings on each piece, my only wish was that the great wooden box it came in, came with a replaceable lid. Why are there so many toppings! I guess incase you lose some, but really there are WAY too many of each, 10 of each (mushroom, pepper, and pepperoni) would have been plenty to keep track of.
Since they are about quarter size, it was a choking concern with my 2 year old, but now she is a little older and doesn't stick them in her mouth anymore. She does however, stick them into her sister's piggy bank and they will not come out...so that is a problem at times.
But a great, fun, toy; and I would highly recommend it, but keep away from little siblings and find some type of easy storage for the toppings!
Customer Review: 2 year old daughter loves her pizza!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this toy for my daughter for her second birthday. Two months later.. she still loves it! She knows exactly what her pizza is and loves to "cut" slices from it! It comes with a pizza cuter and a server spoon, but she really only uses the cutter to cut the pizza and picks it up with her hands after that.
There are SO many pieces to this pizza! You have either peppers, mushrooms or pepperoni to top your pizza with.. and there are enough pieces to do one topping, or mix them all up. Each slice gets 3 toppings to it. One thing I do want to mention though is when you first open the toy up.. the paint smell is just overwhelming - a lot of paint is used on the pieces. It disappears the next day, but wow.
Overall, excellent toy. The pizza has been a big hit here and it is extremely durable - love the wooden toys. Highly recommend this pizza kit to any child!
