In the opening weeks of 2025, Brawl Stars briefly turned its familiar shop into a neon pizzeria. Season 34, Starr Force, arrived alongside the limited-time Pizza Planet event, and for 34 days and 19 hours players traded battle time for Pizza Slices. By 2026 the event is no longer live, but its slice economy remains one of the more memorable limited-time designs in the game's recent history. The premise was simple: collect the event currency, visit the Pizza Planet Shop, and exchange slices for progression, cosmetics, presents, and even Brawlers. The execution, however, gave players plenty to plan around.
The Pizza Planet Shop was the heart of the event. It held the exclusive Surge Lightyear skin, Starr Force skins, Brawlidays presents, progression items, and the new epic Brawler Meeple, who became available in the shop on January 9, 2025. Players who did not yet own Surge could also find him through event offers. The currency itself, Pizza Slices, could be earned through several free tracks or purchased directly with Gems at 79 Gems for 250 slices. That paid option existed, but the event was generous enough that a patient player could ignore it entirely.
The first steady source was the Pizza For All Calendar in the regular Shop. It gave 12 Pizza Slices each day, adding up to 360 slices by day 35. A second trickle came from the Pizza Planet Shop itself, where each reveal awarded 1 slice, roughly 120 slices in total depending on how many offers a player opened. Those numbers were useful, but they were not the main engine. The real grind lived in seasonal quests and the Arcade Scoreboard contest.
Seasonal quests gave 30 Pizza Slices per quest and totaled 330 slices. Brawl Stars also dropped 100 slices twice at random, adding another 200. The Arcade Scoreboard contest, meanwhile, echoed earlier contests such as the Angelic and Demonic event and the Mega Tree event. It brought two new 2v2 modes, Special Delivery and Brawl Hockey, and it rewarded more than pure wins. Eliminations, damage, healing, and objective play all counted toward a player's score, and a match win multiplied the total. Tickets powered entry, unused tickets reset after three days, and a new 2v2 mode arrived every three days.
The scoreboard could pay up to 150 Pizza Slices per contest, which totaled 1,650 slices for a player who won everything. An average performer, mixing wins and losses, could still expect about 990 slices from that track. When the calendar, shop reveals, quests, random drops, and contest rewards were added together, the free ceiling reached roughly 2,660 Pizza Slices. Even a player with average contest results could land near 2,000 slices without spending anything.
| Source | How it worked | Approx. slices |
|---|---|---|
| Pizza For All Calendar | 12 daily slices in the regular Shop | 360 by day 35 |
| Pizza Planet Shop reveals | 1 slice per reveal | ~120 |
| Seasonal quests | 30 per quest | 330 |
| Random drops | 100 slices twice | 200 |
| Arcade Scoreboard | Up to 150 per contest | 1,650 perfect, ~990 average |
| Direct purchase | 79 Gems for 250 slices | Paid option |
Surge Lightyear was the flashiest prize, but it came with a gate. The skin was available free through the Pizza Calendar, yet a player also needed the Brawler Surge to use it. There were several ways around that. The Pizza Planet Shop sold Surge's New Pack for 1,395 slices, including Surge, a new pin, and a random present box. Credits offered a slower path, helped by the fact that the skin remained available for four months. Gems were the third route, especially for players who had saved enough for a regular shop offer.
Other packs made the shop feel like a rotating buffet. The 8-BIT Mega Pack cost 640 slices and bundled the Antivirus 8-Bit skin, a Lunar Brawl cosmetic set, a new spray, 25 Bling, and a 250 XP doubler. The Doctor Edgar pack cost 510 slices and included the Doctor Edgar skin, 25 Bling, 10 Power Points, a Player Icon, and exclusive cosmetics. These packs refreshed every two days, so players who checked in regularly could spot the offers that matched their collections.
By 2026, the Pizza Planet event stands as a snapshot of how Brawl Stars could turn a limited-time shop into a full seasonal loop. It mixed a daily calendar, quest grinding, a competitive scoreboard, rotating packs, and a headline skin that demanded a specific Brawler. For players who were there, the memory is one of slice counting and contest tickets. For anyone looking back, the lesson is clear: the event rewarded consistency first, skill second, and patience most of all. 🍕
