This is one I remember from my childhood, and I have to protest I beleive it is the best Boxcar Childrens book made! The plop is VERY grabbing and interesting - and of course the thought of pizza makes you HUNGRY sometimes. The book is so well written, and will keep your attention so much that you can even smell the ingredients that the Piccolo family (the owners of the Pizzeria) are using.

This is the series that my teacher used to get me interested in reading when I was younger. It's a great Mystery / Adventure series on the perfect level for young readers. Each book is it's own separate story and doesn't rely on the previous ones. The series name comes from when the Children lived in a boxcar until their grandfather found them and took them in.

When things are not going right at their friends Piccolo's Pizza Shop, it's up to the Boxcar Children to figure out why and help keep the place from closing it's doors for good.

Can't beat the current $0.99 price.

I agree that this is the best Boxcar Children book. And once again the Alden Children find themselves on another mystery. And this one is not the same from others. As the book begins, the Aldens and Grandfather Alden find out that thier favorite pizza place is in trouble (that nobody can figure out why).

The Aldens has decide to end thier trip that they have been on. But taking a trip to the pizza place. On the way they meet the manger of the nextdoor factory called The Mighty Mufflers. His name is Maxwell Irons. Right before they had off to Piccolo's Pizza (the name of thier favorite pizza place).

But when they arrive they seem to can't find the pizza place because a billboard is in front of the sign and the pizza place. They can't find a place to park, but they do, but they can't park there because it's for truck only. It is the loading parking space.

The Piccolos has had trouble with thier oven. The gasline has been messed up. They had two waiters leave. And sometimes the Piccolos sometimes do not open up at all. The Alden Children decide to stay back and help out the Piccolos. Mr. And Mrs. Piccolos agree to this.

And soon the Aldens and the Piccolos has more trouble. Somebody has caused a blackout and printed up coupons for kids 12 and under to have them buy a slice of pizza and get free pop. But can the Aldends save the pizza place?

I think this is a really good book.Its about the adlens coming home from a trip,then they were going to Piclos Pizza to see there friends that work there, and eat pizza.There big oven was the secret to there pizza but it don't work.Now the adlens wanted to help, so Mr.Adlen let them stay there for a few weeks.They used the little ovens up-stairs, so they made little pizzas.The repair man was coming to fix the big one but he never came, so they kept making little pizzas.Then the picloss pizza was in bissnes again and the oven was fixed.

The Pizza Mystery is one of my favorite Boxcar Children books. The Aldens come to help their old friends, Mrs. and Mr. Piccolo, at their pizza parlor. The kids come up with all sorts of creative ideas, like mini pizzas and a delivery service. But lots of strange things are going on. Someone makes coupons for kids to get free sodas. The power goes out. Is someone trying to ruin the Piccolo's buisness? The Boxcar Children are determined to find out!

I love pizza. But anyways on to the review. When someone tries to close down Piccolo's Pizzeria, the Boxcar Children come to the aid of their old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Piccolo, and come up for ideas for mini pizzas, a delivery service, and special coupons. Simultaneous. The boxcar children wonder is someon is deliberately trying to shut down the pizza paler. Are they right?
