Delivering pizza in Death Stranding 2 is no easy task—especially when you need to keep it perfectly flat to avoid spoilage. If you’ve played the original game, you already know how tricky transporting fragile cargo can be. But with the sequel introducing new tools and mechanics, there are more reliable ways to ensure your pizza arrives in pristine condition.
In this guide, we’ll cover the best methods to keep your pizza horizontal during delivery, helping you complete Order 025 (The Data Scientist’s pizza request) without any mishaps.

Why Keeping Pizza Flat Matters in Death Stranding 2


Unlike standard cargo, pizza in Death Stranding 2 has a unique requirement: it must remain flat during transit. Tilting or jostling it too much can ruin the meal, leading to a failed delivery. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to secure the pizza box safely—whether on foot, in a vehicle, or with specialized equipment.

3 Best Ways to Keep Pizza Flat in Death Stranding 2

1. Use Your Backpack as a Flat Surface


One of the earliest methods involves creating a stable platform in Sam’s backpack:
  • Accept the pizza order from the Delivery Terminal.
  • Offload the pizza onto the ground instead of placing it directly in your backpack.
  • Load a large, flat cargo item (like a stack of Metals or Ceramics) into your backpack to create a level surface.
  • Pick up the pizza box (press △/Y) and place it on top of the flat cargo.

  • This keeps the pizza horizontal while you travel. Just be careful—sudden falls or impacts can still damage it!

    2. Transport Pizza in a Pickup Off-Roader


    A safer (and faster) option is using a Pickup Off-Roader:


    • Place the pizza in the vehicle’s cargo hold, where it will stay flat automatically.
    • This method minimizes the risk of tipping, making it ideal for long-distance deliveries.


    If you don’t have a vehicle yet, prioritize unlocking one—it’s a game-changer for fragile deliveries.

    3. Utilize a Floating Carrier


    Floating Carriers are another excellent way to transport pizza:


    • Attach the pizza to the Floating Carrier, ensuring it remains flat.
    • This method is great for rough terrain where vehicles might struggle.


    Just be mindful of BTs and MULEs, as the carrier can be an easy target.

    Tips for a Perfect Pizza Delivery


    • Avoid steep climbs—stick to flatter paths when possible.
    • Watch your balance—if Sam stumbles, the pizza could tilt.
    • Use stabilizers (if available) to reduce movement.
    • Check the terrain before setting out—planning your route helps prevent accidents.

    Final Thoughts


    Keeping pizza flat in Death Stranding 2 is all about preparation. Whether you use your backpack, a vehicle, or a Floating Carrier, each method ensures your delivery arrives in perfectcondition.
