Pizza Steve

Seems like a challenge to cram as many cyberdemons as humanly possible into a single room.

One of the best mapsets for multiplayer with LCA - my entire summer 2021 was just this on Zandronum.

Kind of WAD with hundreds of monsters, many of them attaking you at once, like the typical slaughterfest.  Best to play with OP mods like Russian Overkill to counter the huge monster power arsenal

It's a hard wad, You'll die a lot, If you're good at staging cross fight between monsters then this

is for you. Otherwise its extremely difficult to finish it just by your own bullets.

Overall it's a good wad, good map design suitable for this kind of battles, The missing star because

of some imbalances in some maps, Some maps don't have enough armor so you'll fight monsters with a

naked skin, a couple of maps don't have sufficient ammo. Some early maps are much more difficult than

the last ten maps. Maps 31 and 32 are lame. But most maps are hours and hours of fun for me.

So far loving this wad. It is very difficult for me. But I stuck with level 2 and trying to beat it now. I have already figured out the procedure up to the last room. Enjoying the level very much. You can see that a lot of thought was put into this.

I also love the level design. Really sleek and imaginative, and also very functional. Everything has a purpose.

Exquisite megawad!

A set of maps contain sectors where player need to confront hundreds of monsters. So, these maps only seem to hard because sectors are large. The exception, map 10, contains a lot of cyberdemons, little ammo and is impassable. If you like to organize battles between monsters, this wad for you.

Pizza Steve is...interesting, to say the least. It's a megaWAD full of slaughtermaps, many of which will have a monster count exceeding a thousand. The levels are huge and you're going to need all that room to run around the projectile spam. A recurring thing in many levels is meatwalls consisting of one enemy type. It's comical to splatter meatwalls consisting imps and zombies but less so when it comes to every other monster (especially Revenants and Barons). I'm at least grateful that there weren't any Arch-Vile meatwalls though you'll be facing those in greater number than any one player would like to see. Needless to say, it seems and feels like balance was an afterthought for this megaWAD.

As a result of this lack of balance, it's a megaWAD that feels like it's more at home in a co-op setting though you can play it solo, provided you've got mad skills or do like I did and use an OP weapon mod like Russian Overkill, Guncaster, Trailblazer, or Doom Incarnate. Every level starts off as a cathartic blastfest but as you go through each level you may have to take a break from how huge the levels are and from the batshit insane firefights. You're definitely going to want to take breaks when you play through this.

Would I recommend this to others? Eh, not really. I'm in the minority in that I love megaWADs like this (and I'll definitely come back to play this in the future) but even I found myself getting fatigued when playing through this and had to take breaks. If you're gonna play it, play it in either co-op or with your favorite OP weapon mod of choice (if you even use weapon mods, which if you don't, that's fine; you do you). Otherwise, you're not really missing anything by skipping this.
