How to play Pizza Tycoon on Mac

PlatformsComputer

Game summary

Your goal in Pizza Tycoon is to build an empire of pizza parlors while dealing with competing restaurants, crooked police officers, or even ruthless gangsters! The object of the game is to control a minimum of five percent of the market share in all ten cities. In order to succeed, you'll need to use demographic reports to determine the best location for your shop, contact banks to negotiate the lowest interest rates, decide which advertising to use (billboards, newspapers or TV commercials), and hire waiters, cooks or managers. Decide on your restaurant's decorations to attract new customers or develop new recipes to get a leg up on your competition. Not doing so well? Contact the underworld and start taking out other restaurants using sabotage!

Play Pizza Tycoon on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Pizza Tycoon on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Pizza Tycoon installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Pizza Tycoon like you would on any PC.
