I get it, who doesn't like pizza - this would make a great idea for an entire nonsensical story that has a plot so thin it's like bad pizza sauce. See I can make pizza jokes too.

Silly in both a good and a bad way, this book uses pizza and space travel to teach about the power and importance of FRIENDSHIP and TEAMWORK. There is bright artwork and the villain is a pretty good caricature of a rapacious business alien, but there isn't a whole lot of substance here and didn't make that much of a lasting impression on the youth and adult readers in my house.

The pictures in this book are fun and the story is fun for kids. I personally did not find the story funny, but know that little boys, especially, will find humor in the aliens and their pizza adventures. I think this would be a good book for a kid who is struggling to get into reading due to fear of chapter books or feeling overwhelmed with longer books. I like that the words chosen were not super simple, allowing for a challenge for some readers who may be struggling, but yet the pictures make the story colorful, interesting, and engaging. While I was not personally interested in the story or the book itself, I do think that there are kids who will love and enjoy the comedy of pizza in space.

I love the combination of aliens and cooking. Especially when, as with this book, it doesn't take itself too seriously. IT's not afraid to be silly, to spin plot lines to an extreme to make a point. The messaging about teamwork is pretty clear, with some slightly more subtle stuff about ethics.and business.

Cosmic Pizza Party follows three business partners and one robotic intern on their quest to feed the galaxy delicious pizza. There are five stories in this book that each teach a lesson. The characters are unique and the drawings are fun and colorful. The map at the front of the book was helpful, and there were lots of puns in the names of planets, ships, and the pizza equipment. At the end of the book, there were some character bios. and quizzes and extra entertainment for kids. I think this book would be good for children from ages 8 to 11.

An absolutely adorable graphic novel adventure about an intergalactic pizza delivery company trying to beat out the competition. Just pure fun and pizza jokes.

While this picture has great illustrations, it does not have an engaging story. I wanted to like it, but I could not get into it.

A buch of pizza nerds, what's not to love!?

First of all, this cover had me on my behind! I loved it to death and I was ready to give my soul to this book. I love the art, but if I am completely honest, I expected a bit more from it based on the cover.

Thr story was super cute for the right audience. Aliens, robots, pizza monsters. But I am to old to enjoy it to the fullest. It isn't something that I would follow on, but it was cute! There were even some jokes that really cracked me up. "Frozen pizza, you monster!" Loved it

A very lively young comic to hopefully settle down lively young readers. A group of disparate aliens are here to prove something pretty much (literally) universally acknowledged – that you can't beat a good pizza, even if the alien climate sometimes makes delivery a bit awkward. But the path to a great 'za doesn't always run smoothly, especially when a tip-off about a planet made of the galaxy's best cheese proves to put them in danger, and when a prince gets sucked into a games console because of – yup, you guessed it – pizza. The book's not perfect – having the character biogs at the end when we needed them before the pell-mell, introduction-free action started is daft, and if we were supposed to learn some science with the third episode considering recycling, differences between life-forms and differences in chemistry, then it failed. But by the time we have a suitably moral ending, and some gaudy fun, the whole thing has been worthwhile. Clearly not something I'd re-read, but for the right audience member a book that delivers all a kid's favourite toppings of drama, aliens, robots, alien robots and more.
