"With a BrickScore of 76.3 and a 94% owner recommendation rate, the Pizza vs. Fire Truck Race Car Pack delivers exactly what it promises: affordable racing fun, two solid minifigures, and genuinely new wheel hardware, all for $9.99."

The Pizza vs. Fire Truck Race Car Pack landed clear recommendation territory across reviewers, praised as a cheerful, affordable entry in the City soapbox-derby racing sub-line. JANG highlighted the new dual-molded wheel and tire system as a genuinely impressive parts innovation, and multiple reviewers noted the set works both as a standalone fun build and as an expansion for the larger Soap Box Derby set. Owner data is overwhelmingly positive: 1,393 ratings averaging 4.78 out of 5 across Amazon, Walmart, Target, and LEGO.com, with a 94% recommendation rate.

LOVED (6)

01New dual-molded wheel and tire pieces that roll smoothly and have future custom-build potential
02Two full minifigures (chef and firefighter) with printed elements at a $9.99 price point
03Cheerful, wacky soapbox kart designs with personality
04Two separate instruction booklets enabling simultaneous parallel building by two people
05Excellent value per minifigure at roughly $5 each
06Works well with custom ramps for racing play

CRITICIZED (5)

01Fixed, non-customizable wheelbase limits design flexibility for custom builds
0280-page instruction manual feels disproportionately long for 70 pieces
03Each kart uses a small pile of parts; builds are simpler than they appear on the box
04Pizza cart design seen by one reviewer as plain compared to others in the series
05No alternate hairpiece for the firefighter minifigure

What reviewers are saying

"Lego's Wheel and Tire Tech is possibly even better than their brick Tech these days quality is really good"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"I was a bit surprised/disappointed by the small piles of parts each kart contains. They are a lot smaller than I anticipated."

Ecosystem

Pizza cart vs Fire truck cart (within the same set) — Reviewer prefers the pizza cart for its superior character, realism, and artisanship design, though both vehicles are well-executed.

4567-1 Surfer from Xalax series — Modern iteration of classic wacky LEGO racing vehicles; these sets continue the tradition of gravity-powered soapbox karts

4592-1 Red Monster from Drome Racer series — Similar concept of small racing cars intended for rough play

60333-1 Bathtub Stunt Bike from Stuntz — Most recent predecessor with same wacky aesthetic but simpler build; new sets offer more substance

Minifigures & Standout Parts

In this set (2)

Pizza Slice Soapbox Race Car Driver (Chef) - Male, White Torso with 8 Buttons, No Wrinkles Front or Back, White Legs, White Chef Toque, Moustache

Fire Truck Soapbox Race Car Driver (Firefighter) - Female, Black Jacket and Legs with Reflective Stripes and Red Collar, Neon Yellow Fire Helmet, Trans-Clear Visor

Standout parts (per reviewers)

New dual-molded wheel and tire
Runs on top of a technic pin and runs extremely smoothly. Reviewer was impressed by the quality and suspects these will be highly useful in future custom creations, great ball contraptions, and possibly motorized builds.
New chassis piece
Simple design makes it easy to play fast. However, the wheelbase cannot be customized, which is a limitation. Reviewer would prefer a longer version with a lower middle section for additional versatility.
Printed 2x4 tiles
Side prints on the pizza cart add character and detail.
Crust piece (pizza cart)
New piece specific to the pizza cart design.
6920 Brick Special 2 x 6 with Protruding Axle Holes
New chassis part specifically designed for soapbox karts
6600pat0001 Wheel 21 x 4 with Spokes with Black Tire pattern
New wheel with molded-on tires made from hard rubber

What Owners Say · summarized from 20 written reviews (LEGO, Amazon, Walmart)

Owners praise the set as a fun, easy-build racing pack with charming minifigures and clever vehicle designs, though some find the pizza racer underwhelming compared to the fire truck and feel the series could use expanded variety.
