About Pizza Club Games

Pizza Club Games was an independent American game development studio based in Foster City, California. Established in 2020, the developer-owned company created original games for mobile devices and later expanded into PC development. Its work combined game design, visual prototyping and gameplay engineering, with capabilities spanning character-collector RPGs, tactical systems and action-strategy games.

The studio's debut title, Raid Boss: A Guild's Journey, also known as Raid Boss, was a tactical fantasy character-collector RPG. It soft-launched on Android in 2020 and reached broader iOS and Android availability through 2022. Pizza Club Games served as both developer and publisher, building its early portfolio around an internally developed mobile property.

From mobile to PC

The team subsequently developed DOOMTRAIN, a medieval steampunk action-strategy game for PC. Its premise placed players aboard an armored battle train travelling through corporate Hell, freeing and unionizing oppressed demon workers. The project marked a move beyond the studio's mobile beginnings while continuing its focus on original intellectual property. A playable demo appeared during Steam Next Fest in February 2026.

Closure

Pizza Club Games announced its closure on March 11, 2026, after exhausting its available funding while seeking publishing and investment partners. Development of DOOMTRAIN ended with the shutdown, leaving the February demo as a released milestone rather than a completed commercial game. The studio's farewell announcement brought six years of operations to an end.
