This goddamn pizza isekai is great and you literally cannot change my mind.
At its core, "Yuusha desu ga Isekai de Elf Yome to Pizza-ten Hajimemasu" is a food themed slice of life light novel with a relatively satire play on various isekai tropes and a premise that centres around making pizza. Do you like pizza? You'll like this light novel, which delivers mouthwatering descriptions of them. I absolutely live and breathe pizza, and I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate a lot of the descriptions are; it's clear the author has done at least some amount of research beyond the superficial. Good on them.
Similarly to
...
what the author states in the afterword, The chapters act as self contained comedic arcs with an overall overarching progression throughout the series. Because of its relatively short length, some people may be disappointed to hear that the progression doesn't go as far as many of them would like it to be, but such is to be expected in a slice of life series.
There's occasional art that's relatively well done scattered about each chapter, though my only real complaint of such is that some of the characters look similar enough to blend together. That's the case with some of the characterizations as well, being relatively standard tropes at this point. The novel does take advantage of said fact to make a few relatively funny gags though.
This novel obviously won't be a 10 for everyone, especially those who have read more light novels than I have, as a lot of it is pretty standard fare with some tropes that have probably been overdone. But given that the author does poke some fun at the isekai genre as a whole, if you aren't tired of isekai yet and you have any love for pizza, give this series a shot. You may not like it as much as I did, but you might also have a goofy smile on your face through at least some of the segments; it's a fun read that doesn't try to play itself off as anything it isn't.
