20 Open-Source AI Projects You Should Contribute to in 2025

Over 21 million people recently played Grow a Garden on Roblox at the same time. A big reason? The game just added cooking, and pizza is one of the best things you can make.

What’s New: You Can Cook Now!

A big update dropped on August 2, 2025, adding a cooking area to the game. Now, you can grow crops in your garden, then mix them together in a giant cooking pot to make food, like soup, burgers, and yes, pizza.

To make pizza, you need one of these two combos: 1 Banana + 1 Tomato or 2 Corn + 2 Apple + 1     Pepper

You also need to use the red-maroon cooking pot, not just any pot. Press the COOK button and wait about 7.5 minutes. When it’s done, feed the pizza to Chris P, a big pig NPC nearby. If he’s in the mood for pizza, you’ll get cool rewards like rare seeds or pets.

Why Everyone’s Making Pizza

Pizza is super popular in the game right now because it gives the best rewards for the time it takes to cook. Out of all the food recipes, pizza is seen as the best balance of Easy ingredients, Short cook time, and Great rewards

As one player guide puts it, “Pizza is the Meta King”—meaning it’s the smartest dish to focus on right now.

Even one of the game’s developers said that players are actually enjoying the new cooking system, not just following a trend.

Tips to Make Pizza Faster

Here’s how to get better at it:

Farm or trade for the right ingredients - Corn, apples, and peppers are easy to grow. Bananas and tomatoes can be traded or found in special seed packs.

Use the correct pot color - Pizza only cooks in the red-maroon pot. Other pots will just give you random food.

Check what Chris P wants - He shows a little thought bubble with the food he’s craving. If he wants pizza, feed it to him, then you’ll get better stuff.

Make a few pizzas in one go - It saves time to cook a few at once, instead of just one. That way, you're always ready when Chris P is hungry.

Final Thought

If you’re new to the cooking update in Grow a Garden, start with pizza. It’s easy to make, doesn’t take long, and gives you awesome rewards if timed right.

So grow your crops, find that red pot, and cook up some pizza. Then make Chris P happy—and watch the prizes roll in.
