Pete loves the pizza shop, where he lives with his dad, and is terrified of the outside world. But when a new restaurant steals their customers, Pete and his friend Anna have to come up with an INGENIOUS plan to sell more pizzas, otherwise he’ll be forced to move. 

‘It has all the reckless fun of George’s Marvellous Medicine… a lively upbeat story that is as enjoyable as a Sloppy Giuseppe with all the topping.’
