🍕 Adding Pizza in ORO POS
Pizzas are uniquely complex menu items — different sizes, crusts, toppings, half-and-half splits, and prices that vary by size. ORO POS handles all of this with the Pizza & Sub module. This guide walks through the full setup.
One pizza item (“Pepperoni”) can be sold as Small / Medium / Large / XL — each with its own price. Customer can pick crust type. Customer can add/remove toppings. Even split a pizza in halves with different toppings.
🤔 Why Pizza Setup is Special
| Pizza Quirk | Why It Needs Special Handling |
|---|---|
| 📏 Multiple sizes | Same pizza, 4 sizes, 4 different prices |
| 🍞 Multiple crusts | Thin, hand-tossed, deep-dish, gluten-free — each may add cost |
| 🧀 Toppings vary by size | Pepperoni costs $1 on Small, $2.50 on XL |
| ↔️ Half-and-half pizzas | “Half pepperoni, half veggie” — sectional pricing |
| 2️⃣ Double / Triple toppings | “Extra cheese” = pay more; multiplier rules handle it |

1️⃣ Multiplier
A Multiplier defines how a topping is applied — full pizza, half-and-half, double portion, etc.
📌 Common Multipliers
| Multiplier | Price Effect |
|---|---|
| 1× (Single, full pizza) | 100% of topping price |
| ½ (Half pizza) | 50% of topping price |
| 2× (Double portion) | 200% of topping price |
Multipliers and their price rules are explained in Modifier Price Rules.

| Component | Selection | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Base Pizza | Large Pepperoni | $20.00 |
| Crust | Stuffed | +$3.00 |

⭐ Best Practices
| Tip | Why |
|---|---|
| Set up multipliers first | Foundation for all pricing math |
| Group toppings by category | Customers find them faster |
| Use Auto Build Page first time | Saves 90% of setup time |
| Test half-and-half pricing before launch | Common spot for misconfiguration |
| Keep size names consistent across pizzas | “Sm/Md/Lg” everywhere — not “Small” then “Sm” |
| Charge more for premium toppings | Goat cheese costs more than mushroom — price it that way |
