The Good: Sturdy wood toy will rise up to years of play

The Challenging: Cute, painted, wood storage container is built to last, but would be improved with the addition of a cover

In a Nutshell: Toy pizza with topping and utensils offers kids fun, creative props for imaginary play

Kids love serving up their delicious pizza creations with the wooden pizza cutter and server. View larger.

With 54 pizza toppings, children can customize pies for their friends and family. View larger. Make, Bake, and Serve Pizza
The wooden pizza consists of six “slices” that are held together by Velcro. Each piece has three Velcro disks for attaching the pizza toppings. Your child can assemble the pizza right on the cheerful green pizza tray. Using pepperoni, mushroom, or peppers, or a combination of the three toppings, she can make a pizza that almost looks good enough to eat.

Once the pizza is “ready,” the child can use the pizza cutter to cut the pizza. It actually has a rolling blade, just like an authentic utensil, and since the pizza slices are held at the side of Velcro, it makes a fun crunching sound when it’s cut. Your little pizza chef can then dish out pizza to her customers with the included server. (Note that the toy kitchen utensils aren’t meant for use with real food or with real kitchen appliances.)

Play and Learn
Pretend play is a very important part of childhood development, and the Pizza Party toy gives children fun, straightforward tools to inspire their imaginations. We also love that this toy is perfect for both independent and interactive playtime, giving parents the opportunity to help kids learn whilst playing, too. For example, children can learn counting concepts whilst preparing pizza: ask them to count the number of mushrooms on the pizza, or to put 10 peppers on her pizza.

Sturdy Wood Construction
The Pizza Party comes with 54 disk-shaped pizza toppings — three of each kind — which is enough to create an all-pepperoni, all-peppers, or all-mushroom pizza, as well as make up whatever combination your child chooses. We like that there are an abundance of toppings pieces, so that the inevitable loss of a couple of pieces won’t ruin the whole toy. That said, we do wish that the cute, painted wood storage container came with a cover to help keep the pieces in place a bit better.

With its sturdy wood construction and high-quality materials, this toy is made to last. And as with all of their products, Melissa & Doug states that this toy is made with non-toxic coatings and meets or exceeds US toy testing standards.
