The Gorilla Pizza Universe
Big Adventures. Big Heart. Big Lessons..
Welcome to a world where jungle fun meets global adventure, and every story leaves something meaningful behind.
The Gorilla Pizza Universe follows Gino and his friends as they cook, compete, travel, explore and sometimes make mistakes, but always grow.
At its core, the series celebrates kindness, fairness, friendship, curiosity and courage.
It is energetic, warm and optimistic, and every story carries a message that matters.
Jungle Square
At the heart of the universe is Jungle Square, a vibrant neighbourhood filled with big personalities, creative challenges and community spirit.
Gino runs Gorilla Pizza with determination and generosity. He believes there is room for everyone to succeed.
Leo is confident and competitive. Rocco is clever and observant. Hippo brings humour and heart. Sammy is always ready for the next adventure.
Life in Jungle Square includes friendly rivalries, cooking competitions, community festivals and unexpected problems to solve.
Through these adventures, children explore important themes such as:
• Being a good friend
• Playing fair
• Learning from mistakes
• Staying resilient
• Choosing kindness
The lessons are never heavy. They unfold naturally through action, dialogue and character growth.
Pizza Passport
Adventure Beyond the Jungle
The Pizza Passport series takes Gino and his friends around the world.
From Tokyo to Rome to New York City and beyond, each book introduces young readers to real cities, landmarks, traditions and food culture in an engaging and accessible way.
These stories celebrate:
• Cultural awareness
• Curiosity about the world
• Diversity and inclusion
• Global connection
In The World Food Festival, children discover dishes from different cultures. In Pizza Passport, they explore cities through storytelling and adventure.
The goal is simple. Spark curiosity. Encourage respect. Build understanding.
These books support early geographic awareness and cultural literacy while keeping the heart and humour of the Gorilla Pizza world.
A World That Grows With Its Readers.
The Gorilla Pizza Universe is designed to expand over time.
Characters develop. New cities are added. Themes deepen as readers grow.
Each book stands on its own, but together they form a connected world that children can return to again and again.
The tone stays fun and energetic. The heart stays strong.
Why It Matters.
We believe children’s stories should do more than entertain.
They should build confidence, encourage empathy, inspire curiosity and support early learning.
The Gorilla Pizza Universe is joyful on the surface and meaningful underneath.
When stories feel exciting and relatable, children lean in.
And when children lean in, they grow.
