Masha and the Bear Pizza Maker

Review by eFreeware

Young children tend to want a game they can work through on their own, without a parent reading instructions over their shoulder. The problem is that most cooking games either bury the fun behind menus a five-year-old cannot parse, or they hand over a kitchen so open-ended that a child loses interest after ten minutes. Masha and the Bear Pizza Maker sits in that gap: it takes a familiar cartoon pair and turns their world into a pizzeria where the next step is always obvious.

The game comes from DEVGAME KIDS games and is free to download, with ads and in-app purchases present. It has been installed more than 100 million times and holds a 4.7 average from 240,638 ratings, which tells you it has found a large audience among families. It first appeared on November 15, 2020, and was updated as recently as June 8, 2026, with a note that errors were fixed.

What I find appealing about the premise is how narrow it is. At least judging by what the developer describes: you take an order, build the pizza, drive it to the customer and serve it. For the age group this is meant for, that kind of clear routine is usually more valuable than freedom.

Building a pizza, step by step

Each round starts with an order, and the developer lists 16 recipes on the menu, including Margarita, Pepperoni and Mexican varieties, along with one topped with strawberries. Nine hungry friends from the series cycle through as customers, so a child who knows the show will recognize who is waiting at the counter.

The assembly itself is where most of the playtime sits. You flatten the dough, then work through a pantry of 35 ingredients: pepperoni, tomatoes, basil, mushrooms, olives and onions among them, plus seasoning and a grating of cheese for the crust. The developer notes that a real pizzaiolo finishes with cheese to get a browned top, and the game follows that logic, which gives the process a natural ending rather than an arbitrary stop.

I would expect the appeal here to be tactile rather than strategic. The satisfaction comes from watching a bare disc of dough turn into something recognizable. That is a reasonable fit for a child who is still learning to follow a sequence of steps.

The delivery drive and the finish

Once the pizza is out of the oven, the game shifts gears. You climb into a pizza-car and drive the order to the customer while it is still hot, steering around obstacles along the route. The stated goal is not to drop an olive along the way, which frames the drive as a light test of care rather than a race.

The round closes with cutting the pizza and serving it, and that final beat is what ties the whole loop together. A child gets the order, does the work and then sees the result handed over to a character they know. Customers are left full and happy, a soft feedback loop that keeps young players coming back without needing a score screen.

I like that the delivery segment breaks up the kitchen work. Sitting through ingredient selection repeatedly could wear thin on its own, and a short drive between orders gives the session a change of rhythm without adding a system a child has to learn.

How the rounds are structured

The structure is a repeating cycle of order, build, deliver and serve, with the variety coming from the recipe list and the rotating cast of nine customers.

The 16 recipes do most of the heavy lifting for variety. A Margarita, a Pepperoni and a Mexican pizza call for different combinations from the 35 ingredients, and the strawberry-topped option is unusual enough to stand out. For a young player, learning which toppings belong on which order is a small, achievable challenge.

The developer's most recent update mentions fixing errors and a messy kitchen, which suggests the team is still tending to the game rather than leaving it as it was at launch. That matters for a title aimed at children, where a broken step can stall a round entirely.

Ads, purchases and the subscription

The game is free to download, and it carries both ads and in-app purchases. The developer's own text describes a subscription that renews automatically at the end of each period, with a free trial that converts to a paid subscription unless auto-renewal is switched off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Charges land within 24 hours of the previous period or trial ending, and auto-renewal can be turned off from Google account settings.

That is the standard shape of a mobile subscription, and it is worth understanding before a child starts playing on a shared device. The practical point for parents is that the trial does not simply lapse; it becomes a paid subscription unless someone cancels it in time.

Beyond the subscription, the game carries ads and in-app purchases. I would treat the game as something to set up deliberately on a family device rather than download and forget, particularly if a younger child is the one tapping through screens.

A good fit for young fans of the show

The clearest audience here is children around preschool and early school age who already know Masha and the Bear. The characters are the hook, and the tasks are pitched at a level where following a recipe and steering a car are the main demands. The content rating is Everyone, which lines up with that.

Parents looking for a first cooking game will likely find the format manageable. There is a defined beginning and end to each order, the ingredient list is visual, and the delivery segment adds movement without requiring reading or math. A child can play a round or two and stop at a natural point.

It is less suited to older children or anyone wanting depth. The developer's own framing is a pizza simulator for little chefs, and the systems described match that. What it offers is a cheerful, well-populated kitchen routine, and that is a narrow but real pleasure for the right player.

A cheerful kitchen routine for younger players

Masha and the Bear Pizza Maker does one thing and does it in a way a small child can follow: take the order, build the pizza from a generous pantry, drive it over and serve it. The 16 recipes and 35 ingredients give the rounds enough variety to avoid feeling identical, and the nine customers keep the cast familiar for fans of the series.

The caveats are straightforward. The game is free but supported by ads and in-app purchases, and the subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled before the trial ends. The appeal depends on how much a child enjoys the routine itself.

If you have a young fan of the show who wants a cooking game with clear steps and no reading required, this is a reasonable choice, and the 4.7 average from a very large number of ratings suggests plenty of families have settled into it. If you are looking for a game with depth, challenge or a story to work through, the scope here will feel thin.
