Death Stranding 2 Pizza Chef Quest Guide – Pizza-Do Moves, Ghost Mech & Delivery Tips

on

Yes, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach takes its pizza seriously. Kojima’s collaboration with Domino’s Pizza isn’t just for laughs—it’s part of a surprisingly deep questline tied to the mysterious Pizza Chef. From timed deliveries to martial arts moves based on tossing dough, this mission is as wild as it sounds.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock the Pizza Chef’s shelter, deliver pizzas efficiently, and earn unique rewards like the Rubber Pizza, Pizza-Do karate skills, and your very own pizza delivery outfit.

🍕 Where to Find the Pizza Chef in Death Stranding 2

You’ll encounter the Pizza Chef partway through the main story—just follow your progression until you receive a mission that takes you to his shelter. But reaching him won’t be easy:

  • His hideout is located beyond one of the largest bandit camps on the map.

  • Watch out for mine throwers and MULE patrols in the area.

  • Pro tip: Use stealth or ziplines to avoid a firefight—especially if you’re carrying fragile cargo.

Death Stranding 2 Pizza Chef Quest Guide
You’ll need to complete the main quest up to Master Order #29, which tasks you with destroying your first Ghost Mech Factory. After this:

  1. Look for Lost Cargo – “Pizza Chef's Misanga”, which can be found inside a survivalist camp near the Ghost Mech site.

  2. Deliver it to the Pizza Chef’s bunker—this will trigger a cinematic sequence.

  3. Defeat the Ghost Mechs guarding the shelter.

  4. Once the enemies are down, you’ll unlock the Pizza Chef’s facility and earn the “So YOU’RE the Pizza Chef!” trophy.

⭐ How to Raise the Pizza Chef’s Connection Level (Stars)

Early pizza orders won’t increase his star rating much—but that changes after unlocking his full shelter.

Tips to Rank Up Fast:

  • Complete all follow-up pizza delivery orders ASAP.

  • Retrieve lost pizza cargo or empty pizza boxes for bonus Likes.

  • Look for missions that mention the Pizza Chef specifically—they often yield large Connection boosts.

At 2★ reputation, you’ll unlock Pizza-Do martial arts. At 3★ and 4★, you’ll unlock more moves and rewards.

🥋 Pizza-Do Martial Arts – Yes, It’s Real

One of the funniest and most unexpected rewards in Death Stranding 2 is the Pizza-Do martial arts system. Unlocked as you increase your Connection level, these melee skills let Sam perform karate-style pizza attacks.

Unlockable Moves:

  • Great Spinning Pizza Strike (2★)

  • Whirlwind Pizza Kick (3★)

  • Spinning Pizza Slam (4★)

Pair these with the Rubber Pizza, a non-lethal gadget that knocks out enemies in a hilariously wobbly way. It’s great for dealing with MULEs or just flexing your pizza-fu.

🚚 How to Deliver Pizzas Quickly (and Keep Them Flat)

Pizza delivery in DS2 is a delicate business. Mess it up, and you'll lose Likes—or worse, fail the mission.

Best Methods:

  • Use a Zipline Network: Build direct zipline routes from the Pizza Chef to the destination.

  • Equip a Floating Carrier: It keeps pizzas flat and can travel on ziplines with you.

  • Drive Smart: Vehicles like the Trike or Pickup Truck are fine for straight routes, but risky over rough terrain.

  • Avoid Combat: Getting attacked will shake or damage the pizza. Use stealth routes or disable nearby MULE sensors.

🎁 Rewards from the Pizza Chef

The Pizza Chef offers one of the most unique reward paths in the game. Here's what you can earn:

🔧 Tools & Gadgets:

  • Rubber Pizza – Knock out enemies with a bouncy, goofy weapon.

  • Lv.2 Machine Gun – A powerful conventional firearm.

🥋 Pizza-Do Skills:

  • Martial arts-style melee moves unlocked through progression.

👕 Pizza Delivery Cosmetics:

  • Pizza Cap

  • Pizza Beanie

  • Delivery Jumpsuit

  • Grease-stained Boots
    These cosmetic items let you roleplay as Sam Porter, Supreme Pizza Guy.

✅ Final Tips

  • Save your game before tough delivery missions—you don’t want to redo an entire route if your pizza slides!

  • Always check terrain for zipline anchor points; it pays off in the long run.

  • Don't ignore lost cargo related to pizza—retrieving these items is often the key to ranking up faster.
