Updated
Games like Papa's Pizzeria are order games: a customer asks for a dish, you build it step by step, and you are scored on how well it matches the order. Papa's Pizzeria is a 2007 game by Flipline Studios. The games below are original titles by independent studios, from pizza and ice cream to sandwiches and cupcakes.
How Papa's Pizzeria plays
Papa's Pizzeria is a restaurant game from Flipline Studios, released in 2007. Wikipedia describes the studio's restaurant games as having four stations: one for taking orders, two for cooking and preparing the food, and one for plating and serving the finished meal.
You have to complete orders accurately and quickly. That earns tips and points toward your rank, and accurate orders earn stars that can raise a customer's award to Bronze, Silver or Gold (source). Higher awards bring bigger tips, faster-ordering customers and more points.
So the game is a short cycle: read the order, build the dish, finish it and be graded. This table shows where the games below ask for the same.
