Hey there! Do you like pizza? Of course, you do! 🍕 Now you can say "thanks" to your teammates with a slice of pizza. Celebrate your team wins, endorse your awesome colleagues, and have fun like never before, because... it's PizzaTime!
PizzaTime
Hey, I'm a software developer and a foodie. I have a regular 9-to-5 job, but I also spend time as an indie developer working on this passion project that aims to make our workdays more enjoyable by letting your teammates send each other appreciation for their deeds in the form of pizza 🍕
I tried to make it as simple and friendly as possible, so here it is how it works:
1️⃣ Add PizzaTime to any of your Microsoft Teams chats
2️⃣ Mention a colleague and write your heartfelt message... ah, I don't forget to add a pizza emoji 🍕
3️⃣ Tag the bot, so it will deliver your appreciation message to the correct target
That's it! Simple as that. 🙂
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Your team can join the celebration by reacting with a pizza emoji to send even more appreciation to the colleague who went above and beyond. It could be someone who assisted you with a challenging task, or anyone who made a significant contribution that will benefit the entire team.
Plus, the app comes with some gamification perks - the more pizzas you send and receive, the more you level up, unlocking new recipes and achievements to track your progress.
Oh, and there’s also a friendly leaderboard where you can see the top givers around you. Your company can even use these metrics to turn recognition into real rewards for your team’s MVPs. Or, you can simply use it as an excuse to throw a pizza party at the end of the week and celebrate together! 🍕🎉
I've put a lot of time into crafting this fun and engaging experience for you and your colleagues, so I’d love for you to give it a try! Let me know what you think - whether you like it or if you have any suggestions. The project is still in its early days, and every bit of feedback helps make it even better!

As someone who doesn't enjoy pizza and is frequently subjected to it in social gatherings, I appreciate this a lot.
PizzaTime
@aishwaryalohi ahh, thank you! That really means a lot to me.
Yes, the app is built around pizza as a symbol of gratitude, but at its core, it’s all about encouraging people to say “thanks” and show appreciation to each other. In the end of the day, knowing you’re valued makes a huge difference - it’s a powerful morale booster for everyone! 🙂

@valkirilov jokes aside, I'm all for gratitude and appreciation to boost morale and spreading the cheer. Goes a long way in team building and forming meaningful relationships.
But the next time someone offer me a pizza as a treat, I will say, "Have you heard of this super cool add-on called @PizzaTime ? Now on, it's the only way I accept pizzas." And they will be relieved that they don't have worry about cutting it equally either. Everybody is happy. :P

@aishwaryalohi one of the best things I’ve read today!
Thank you, Aishwarya, for the kind words - I hope you’ll think of PizzaTime every time someone offers you a pizza at the office 🍕😊
I love this simple but enjoyable idea. Because who don't likes pizza, right? Think it's a funny integration to show some appreciation. Sadly we don't work with MS Teams, so I won't be able to use it. But still congrats to your launch!

@jusi thank you, Jusi, for the kind words!
That was exactly my intention when I came up with the idea - everyone loves pizza, and it’s a fun and simple way to say “thanks” to someone who helped you with a tough task.
And I chose Microsoft Teams because I use it at work and originally built the app for my teammates to have fun together. But I made it publicly available so more teams can enjoy this fun way to bond together 🙌
PS: That said, starting with Teams doesn’t mean it’s the end! I’m currently working on a Slack integration - coming soon.
But shh… it’s a secret! 🤫 🍕

As someone who does enjoy pizza, I feel like one should get a pizza once you've given/received 6 slices 🤤
PizzaTime
@jedidjavdwalt oh yes, every time you collect an entire pizza of a specific recipe (six slices of it), you unlock an achievement badge to remind yourself of your progress.
However, there are countless possibilities to celebrate your success. You can convert the virtual recognition into tangible rewards anytime - at the end of the week or on a monthly basis - the decision is yours (your team or company).
PizzaTime is a great add-on for Teams - everybody loves pizza, so I guess there's no better way to show your appreciation towards you colleagues, than a slice of their favorite pizza! Love it!

@petyo_nachev thank you! Yes, pizza is something universally beloved, which is why I chose it. But who knows… maybe one day, you'll be able to say thanks with something else - like a burger! Only time will tell. 🍔😊

Congratulations on the launch! This is a very creative idea! Gratitude is everything. A simple thank you can go a long way .
This app sounds fun and heartwarming! 🍕 Turning gratitude into a pizza slice to share with teammates is both a playful way to celebrate wins and acknowledge contributions, perfectly blending workplace culture with lighthearted fun. Ideal for remote teams or groups looking to boost camaraderie—after all, who can resist a virtual slice?😉 Definitely worth a try!

@mia618601587321 I can never resist a slice of pizza... and that’s exactly where the idea began! 😀
Saying "thanks" can sometimes be difficult, so why not make it easier - and more fun - by sending a pizza as a token of gratitude? It starts with a laugh, but it ends with something even better - the feeling of being truly appreciated!
