Killer Pizza reminds me of something you find while flipping channels on a lazy Saturday afternoon. It may not be the most amazing thing ever, but good enough to keep your attention and be a fun ride.
The main kids in the book are somewhat stereotypical teenagers: the underdog kid that comes through, the jock who has secret issues and the rich, popular girl who distances herself daddy and his money. There is some time spent throughout the book developing them beyond the stereotypes and while I really enjoyed that, I don't know if the target audience will be as into reading about these kids normal lives instead of seeing them kick monster butt as promised in the summary.
The horror here (going back to my Saturday afternoon) is along the lines of a 50s creature feature, where the scary part at first is not seeing the creature directly, chasing around clues and building to a final showdown.
I really liked the idea of the Killer Pizza restaurant itself! If there were a real monster-themed pizza place in my area like this, they'd have my business.
Killer Pizza is a decent enough time, if it were a movie I'd say it was good for a rental. I'll likely be back for a second slice.
