About The Pizza Chef
Administrator: The Pizza Chef

Those who accompanied Sam on his journey to connect North America may remember delivering a few pizzas along the way. Has the same chef who made those pizzas now set up shop in Australia…!?
It’s impossible to tell – and what does it even matter? Pizza is loved all over the world. According to one theory, the origins of pizza can be traced back to a kind of baked round bread eaten in Ancient Egypt. This was then combined with tomatoes brought from South America to Europe in the 16th century, creating the global phenomenon we now all know and love.
In that sense, pizza has always had the power to connect continents!
Now, just make sure it reaches its destination before it gets cold.
Sorry, Sam. It seems the pizza restaurant was just a cover for a gunrunning operation. All that lofty talk about connecting the continents of the world through food – it was a sham. I regret ever getting you involved.
The real Pizza Chef was being held captive underground. But now you’ve rescued him, you can work together to bring pizza to the masses.
He’s not only a fine craftsman who’s studied the traditions of pizza making that go back to Ancient Egypt, he’s also a practitioner of Pizza-Do Acrobatic Karate.
I’m sure his ancestors are smiling down on you right now.
Rewards: The Pizza Chef
Each Knot City and Shelter has a five-star reward system, granting rewards and upgrades with every star reached. Gain more reputation by delivering goods. APAS firmware upgrades, bandwidth increases, and Material Allotment increases are granted with every star reward. Shelters additionally offer Sam a place to rest at the 5-Star level.
Porter-to-Porter Advice
Struggling to find enough cargo to boost Sam’s reputation with The Pizza Chef? There’s a simple solution. Open the Ring Terminal menu and head to the “Orders” section. From there, navigate to the “Search” tab and select The Pizza Chef under “Delivery/Report Destination.” Confirm your search, and you’ll receive a list of available Order Locations for The Pizza Chef. It’s a quick and convenient way to make a Porter’s job a whole lot easier.
2-Star Reward
Rubber Pizza

A rubber disc used by novice pizza makers to practise throwing dough. It doubles as a hand-thrown weapon that can be spun through the air. Landing a headshot will render even the most heavily armored human foes unconscious.
Additionally, the disc’s soft, supple construction means that it makes very little sound when thrown, making it the perfect tool for covert OPS.
Despite their shape, they can be folded down and stored conveniently in a grenade pouch.
Thanks to the skills bestowed upon you by the Pizza Chef, it is now easier to hit enemies in the head using the rubber pizza.
2 – Secrets of Pizza-Do Acrobatic Karate: Striking

Keep taking on Sub-Orders for the Pizza Chef. With a specific one, Sam can enter the Shelter and free the Pizza Chef. This new melee attack is the reward, and a new section in the Porter’s Fundamentals VR Program will be unlocked.
3-Star Reward
Machine Gun Lv2 [MP Bullets]

A fully automatic weapon that excels at mid-range suppression. Its impressive clip size allows it to be used for extended periods.
The machine gun has a powerful recoil that must be carefully controlled for accurate targeting. Consider using it against large targets when precision aiming is not required.
It also comes equipped with a light that can be used to dazzle nearby
enemies.
The upgraded version sports an increased clip capacity and a faster rate
of fire.
2 – Secrets of Pizza-Do Acrobatic Karate: Kicking

New melee attack reward. A new section in the Porter’s Fundamentals VR Program will be unlocked.
