Holy pepperoni this book had do much happen in a relatively short time! From the time they met Joe and Bella connected. When a few random meetings fall right on top of each other, the chemistry is amazing, but both are skeptical. When both of their families fall apart at the same time, somehow they need to decide if staying apart or together is going to help them survive.

This was such a cute story. Definitely had the love at first sight vibe from the perspective of the MMC, Joe. Their constant chance encounters were such a laugh. And I just enjoyed every moment.

The Pizza Man was a fun and quick little romance novella with moderate spice. The romance felt a bit YA at times, but it wasn’t cringy or unbelievable.

The characters were sweet and it made for a great palette cleanser read, and the perfect book to finish off “love month” for me!

I’d recommend this if you want something lighthearted and sweet between heftier reads.

Thank you NetGalley for the ebook arc. It was a cute charming little romcom, great for a cozy weekend read.

I really enjoyed the main plot of this book, but I found myself wanting more. I thought some of the interactions were odd and not written from the viewpoint of a woman. The characters didn't seem fully developed and the relationship between Bella and Joe felt rushed. Having said that, I finished it because I wanted to know how it would end. I've read great reviews about this author, so I would give another book a try. Thank you to Victory Editing for the ARC...opinions are my own.

This was an entertaining read, and it was fun. It is a dual POV about Bella, an overworked ad agency and Joe a chef of Joe’s Eatery (a pizza place hence the name of the book).

Overall, the writing could use a little work as the POV bounces around a lot and some chapters are just a page or two long. Which could have been edited a little better or condense into other POVs.

Thank you to Netgalley for the arc!

This is a very cozy and cute rom com with a whole cast of delightful characters! Joe and Bella had great chemistry and I adored Bella's character growth

This book is a little bit like a pizza with the works, there is a lot going on.

Dual POV
FMC - Bella, under appreciated, over worked agency worker, virgin
MMC - Joe, new owner, chef, and delivery man of Joe's Eatery, secret billionaire

The writing style wasn't bad and the characters were interesting enough for me to keep reading. However, lots of the situations and the accompanied dialogue was unbelievable and non-realistic and there are a lot of tropes shoved into the story.

I was shocked to see that there are 43 chapters in this 226 page book. Some of the chapters are only a few pages and probably could have been edited together or taken out entirely. The FMC and the MMC don't actually know that they have spoken to each other until Chapter 8, which made their relationship feel a bit secondary to all the crazy work drama both were experiencing.

Once they did meet, the dual POVs could get confusing, especially when Bella and Joe were in the same scene. The timeline would reverse to gain the other person's perspective, which leads to redundant scenes that had already been solved.

1-1.5 🌶️ spice level, the several open door romance scenes were interesting but I wasn't a fan of how Bella handled her virginity and the subsequent timeline.

Possible trigger warnings - Caregiver to ailing parents, sudden death of parent, mention of past parental death and parental abandonment

At the end, they bother live happily ever after and stick it to Bella's previous company by her starting her own agency and being instantly successful. Joe continues his eatery (hopefully with more help) where he is happy and not as a billionaire CEO (but he is still a billionaire).

The cover is cute but adding an open pizza box with pepperoni's in a heart shape or something would have been cuter.

2.5 stars

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

It was a quick and sweet read! What sold me is that the MMC owns a pizza place. I loooove men who knows to cook 😋

I wasn’t very fond of the writing though. It skipped some action and sometimes it got me confused on some scenes. It was especially felt during smut scenes.

I also wasn’t liking the chemistry between main characters. It felt rushed and nonexistent. I feel it’s hard to write a proper one (chemistry) if one of the tropes is insta love which I’m also not a fan of.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

I really enjoyed this book. I adore Willow and King, the spice was spicing and I was living for it.

I cannot wait to read more from Bree

Insanely cute read, so cute it was “cheesy”!

A nice quick read with the perfect amount of romance and humour!

I really enjoyed reading this book. The plot is written very well and the characters have amazing chemistry between them. Definitely a recommend
.

Very slow burn between two characters, one who is overlooked and disregarded at her job, and the other who is a trust fund baby running from his family's name and money.
I liked the pov's switching, but I overall just couldn't connect to the characters enough. The slow burn itself felt a bit too slow, but I understand why it was written as such.

The plot, the setting, the side characters were charming..and charm me it did. I loved how these two came together and then gre and helped one another just to be themselves whilst falling for eachother and who they really were.
This was a bright and fun read. Cozy. Warm. And just the right type of book for those times you just want a lovely book to make you giggle and smirk with the wit added in.

Rounded up, should really be 3.5 stars.

The story is beautiful and a quick and easy read. Actually, it took me 2 days, and I didn't want to put it down. I like the build up, how they finally gotten together even though it can totally be interpret as creeper stalking. But Joe doesn't want to be known as a spoilt billionaire's kid, trying to break out on his own. Bella kinda given up on love but maybe this guy can be true. Bella can stand on her own, and she has her own set of baggage. The money thing never really came up between the two, even though both parents were next to each other in the hospital.

Their misunderstanding was dumb, but Joe's sisters cleared it up quickly. I love both of their support systems to help balance things out. I will say, the point of clarity for the two to clear the air was anti-climatic, and maybe alot of people's lives are that way. But for a novel, it was a little bleep.

Like I said, the story on the build up was well done and beautiful where two people came together in the most destined way. The conflict came with a price, and it felt like the focus was more on Joe's said than Bella's side. Neither good nor bad, just unbalanced view. But darn it, I wanted to know what happened, so stayed up way too late just to finish the book.

Joe is a trust fund baby trying to make his own way. Bella works a corporate job with a very rigid schedule. This was a sweet and romantic book that managed to captivate my attention very quickly.

I had trouble with all the different characters in this book. I struggled with keeping track of everyone, however, Bella and Joe were good together, and the spice was nice.

Such a really cute and quick read. The slow burn romance was very well done, and I just loved the characters themselves - so charming and fun. The humor was also off the charts and more than once did I find myself laughing and giggling - completely loving the scenes.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Victoria Editing for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review!

The Pizza Man is a wonderful novel that is ideal for a quick, feel-good read since it combines lighthearted charm with beautiful romance. As a dedicated worker in the advertising industry, Bella never imagines that Joe, a pizza delivery man with a secret ambition and a carefree attitude, will completely upend her world.

Bella and Joe's connection feels natural, with some touching and occasionally even humorous moments, despite the story's lighthearted tone. If you enjoy straightforward romances with a dash of heart, this is a good book.
