Best Pizza POS Systems

Paid plans include more advanced features and reduced processing costs.

Square integrations such as Deliverect, which aggregates online orders from all popular third-party ordering platforms so you can manage them through Square POS and Square KDS, cost an added monthly fee.

Square’s free/no monthly fee pizza shop POS features include:

• Free Online Ordering Site: Build a custom takeout and delivery website that syncs with your in-person orders and inventory.
• Order With Google: Connect your site to your Google Business Profile so customers can find and order directly from search results.
• Delivery Management: Pay a simple per-order fee to manage delivery logistics or use Square’s on-demand driver network — no need to hire your own fleet.
• Auto-86ing: Automatically or manually remove out-of-stock items and modifiers so staff never sell unavailable toppings or sides.
• Preorders: Let customers schedule pickups or deliveries for events like birthdays and school functions.

Square’s best paid features include:

• Delivery Integrations: Connect with Postmates, Grubhub, Caviar, DoorDash, and other major delivery platforms.
• No In-House Delivery Fees: Eliminate per-order fees for using Square’s delivery system.
• Loyalty Program: Customize rewards to encourage repeat pizza orders.
• Invoicing: Send deposits and recurring invoices for catering or large orders.
• Team Management: Schedule shifts, edit and export timecards, sync with Square Payroll, and automate tip pooling.

All Square software, including POS registers, self-ordering kiosks, and kitchen display systems, runs on iPads, which you may purchase yourself or from Square.

To take credit cards, you’ll need at least the Square contactless card reader and a smartphone or iPad. You can also purchase add-on accessories, including a Square Stand iPad swivel enclosure and the connected card reader.

The all-in-one Square Register is a cost-effective pizza shop register that allows customers to verify their orders before servers send them back to the kitchen.

All Square accounts include Square’s built-in payment processing. You’ll pay 2.4% – 2.6% + $0.15 for all in-person transactions and 2.9% – 3.3% + $0.30 for all online transactions.

You cannot use a non-Square payment processor with Square.

All Square contracts are month-to-month with no long-term commitment required. The company also offers great POS hardware warranties, whether you purchase your hardware from Square or from a third-party seller.

Toast’s Quick Start Bundle can look appealing, but it comes with higher per-order fees that quickly add up. If possible, it’s usually more cost-effective to buy your hardware upfront and move to a paid plan once your budget allows.

On the Core plan, you’ll pay extra for digital ordering, while the Growth plan includes it at no additional cost. You can also add Toast’s marketing suite — digital ordering, loyalty, gift cards, and email marketing — without a monthly fee, though this raises processing costs. Other add-ons like Toast Payroll, Tips Manager, and Scheduling require custom quotes, so be sure to ask about discounts if you’re bundling multiple products.

Toast’s best pizza shop POS features include a powerful loyalty program, robust online ordering and menu management tools, and built-in employee scheduling to keep operations running smoothly.

Loyalty program highlights include:

• Easy Enrollment: Customers can sign up during or after checkout — in person, online, or via QR code.
• Automatic Point Tracking: Purchases automatically earn points when paid with a linked card. Customers can view and manage rewards through a digital account portal.
• Custom Rewards & Messages: Send welcome offers, birthday rewards, and automated redemption prompts across online and in-person orders.

Online ordering and menu management features include:

• Create custom order quotes based on kitchen capacity and set maximum order limits.
• Add curbside pickup and delivery messages for a smoother customer experience.
• Bulk-edit menus, set time-based pricing, and hide alcohol or limited items from online menus.
• Route all orders — from POS, kiosks, QR codes, or delivery apps — to intuitive kitchen displays to improve accuracy and speed.

You’ll also get employee scheduling and management tools, like:

• Simplify shift scheduling, reduce no-shows, and handle approvals digitally.
• Export timesheets directly to Toast Payroll for streamlined payouts.

Toast software only works with Toast’s proprietary Android-based hardware, which is more heat and spill-resistant than iPads.

Toast hardware options inclue:

• Toast Go 2 Handheld POS
• Countertop POS
• Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Point
• Kitchen Printer
• Cash Drawer
• KDS
• Self-Serve Kiosk Terminal
• Guest-Facing Display

On the pay-as-you-go Quick Start Bundle plan, you can get the handheld POS for no upfront cost and no monthly fees, as long as you agree to pay higher per-transaction payment processing fees.

In general, we do not recommend the pay-as-you-go plans because the higher per-order fees will cost you more than the original price of the hardware once you get in enough orders.

If you can, pay for your POS hardware upfront. Otherwise, look into equipment financing to help you cover the costs of the restaurant hardware you need in your establishment.

Individuals who purchase a Starter Kit are subject to the following payment processing fees from Toast’s in-house payment processor:

• Quick Start Bundle Plan: 2.99% + $0.15 per transaction; 3.49% + $0.15 per transaction if you add Toast’s optional digital ordering suite
• Core Plan: 2.49% + $0.15 per transaction (1-2 terminal limit)

Individuals on the Core, New Restaurants, and Growth plans who get a custom hardware quote will also receive a custom payment processing rate.

Toast requires at least a two-year agreement and processing contract with Toast. If you decide to terminate your contract early, you will pay hefty fees to do so.

If you choose Toast,  read your contract thoroughly and make sure you understand all the fees and how long you are committed.

If you don’t use any integrations or add-ons, TouchBistro is $69/month for one register, billed annually.

The Dual plan includes two user licenses. The Team plan includes five user licenses, and the Unlimited plan includes unlimited user licenses. This pricing model makes TouchBistro a cost-effective solution for restaurants that require several registers and employees.

TouchBistro also offers add-ons such as:

• Online Ordering
• Reservations
• Gift Cards
• Loyalty
• Marketing
• Kitchen Display System
• Profit Management

You are required to get a quote for TouchBistro products such as customer-facing displays.

The company also charges a one-time setup fee, which includes hardware installation and software setup.

Upscale Italian restaurants that serve gourmet pizza can use TouchBistro’s real-time upselling tools to recommend appetizers, desserts, or wine pairings based on each customer’s order.

Other standout TouchBistro features include:

• Reservations & Waitlist: Customers can book through your website, Google profile, or by phone. Reduce no-shows with automated reminders, and let guests join a waitlist online with SMS updates.
• Wine & Inventory Tracking: Manage liquid sales and reduce waste using TouchBistro’s Bevchek or Freepour integrations.
• Customer Accounts: Perfect for catering clients or regulars — set up house accounts, save payment methods, and allow preloaded credits.
• Dining Preferences: Note allergies and VIP preferences for a personalized experience.
• Branded Web App: For reservations, online orders, catering requests, loyalty enrollment, and guest feedback with no downloads required.
• Catering Tools: Set order minimums, collect deposits, define delivery zones, and send quotes.
• Kitchen Display Systems: Highlight catering notes so staff can prep efficiently for large orders.

TouchBistro works with most iPad models, so you can use your own if you already have these. Additional hardware options are available, and you will need to reach out to TouchBistro for a custom quote.

Since TouchBistro is locally-installed, if you need two or more iPads in your setup, you will also need a Mac Mini server to store your data and allow your iPads to “talk” to each other.

TouchBistro also supports hardware from third-party suppliers such as Chase Payments Solutions (formerly Chase Merchant Services), Square, Star Micronics, Verifone, and Epson.

Kitchen display systems will only work on MicroTouch touchscreens (15.6” or 21.5″) and you must purchase them from TouchBistro.

Check with TouchBistro before purchasing any hardware on your own to make sure the hardware models are compatible with TouchBistro software. Alternatively, you can contact TouchBistro for a quote on hardware and make your purchases through the POS company.

TouchBistro offers its own in-house payment processing solution, TouchBistro Payments (powered by Chase), which uses an interchange-plus pricing model. You have to contact TouchBistro for a custom quote.

Interchange-plus pricing can help you get the lowest payment processing rates, depending on your business size, model, and merchant account terms.

Alternatively, you may use third-party payment processors such as Square, TSYS, Worldpay (a company we don’t typically recommend), or TB Payments to process payments.

TouchBistro requires an annual commitment as standard procedure. However, monthly, biannual, and quarterly payment options are available with a higher monthly cost.

You will be charged an early termination fee for canceling early, so take this into consideration when deciding your initial contract term length.

For the best pricing, you must agree to a three-year processing contract with Revel Advantage, Revel’s in-house payment processor, and a minimum of two terminals installed.

Pizza shop owners who want to integrate features such as their own in-house delivery solution, self-ordering kiosks, or online ordering platform will pay an extra monthly fee.

The cost for onboarding and implementation is a one-time implementation fee. This includes a personalized hardware and software setup from your own Revel representative.

Revel’s powerful pizza shop POS features are built to handle everything from multi-location management to full-scale delivery operations.

Key features include:

• Branded Online Ordering Platform: Create a custom, web-based ordering site for takeout and delivery that mimics a third-party delivery app.
• Delivery Order Receiving: Kitchen display systems instantly receive incoming orders with modifiers or special requests. Orders can be routed and color-coded for efficient prep.
• Customer Communication: Send SMS updates when orders are ready, picked up, or en route. Customers can track drivers in real time on a map and see updated delivery times.
• Driver Management: Assign drivers based on proximity, track their location and idle time, and monitor order completion and tips.
• Driver App: Drivers can use a web-based app to accept orders, view delivery instructions, and get optimized routes via Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze.
• Multi-Location Management: Duplicate and edit menus, pricing, and settings across locations. Set different access levels for employees, enable cross-location scheduling, and manage inventory transfers.
• Inventory Management: Track items from vendors or other locations, partially receive orders, and automate reordering based on preset par levels.
• Self-Order Kiosks & Order-Ready Screens: Speed up service with self-serve kiosks and Android TV displays showing order progress for takeout customers.
• Third-Party Integrations: Connect with tools for digital signage, security cameras, and liquid inventory management for pizzerias that serve alcohol.

This all-in-one setup gives chain pizzerias complete control over every location, from kitchen operations to customer delivery experiences.

All Revel software, including POS systems, kitchen displays, drive-through ordering screens, and self-ordering kiosks, run on iPad hardware. Customer order-ready screens run on Android TVs, and you can purchase digital menu boards from third-party software providers such as Delphi Systems.

You may choose to get a personalized hardware quote on iPads and accessories such as card readers, iPad stands, cash drawers, barcode scanners, and card readers from Revel.

Alternatively, you may purchase your POS hardware on your own with express written permission from Revel. This requirement is in place so that pizza shop owners don’t accidentally purchase Revel-incompatible hardware.

Revel offers its own in-house payment processing solution, Revel Advantage. You can get a custom payment processing rate or, for an added monthly fee, integrate your POS system with outside merchant accounts and payment gateways, including Moneris, Adyen, USAePay, and others.

We recommend shopping around for the best payment processing rates. If you bring a lower payment processing rate quote to Revel representatives, you can most likely get Revel to match that proposed rate. If not, the extra monthly fee may be worth it.

Revel requires a three-year processing contract to get the lowest monthly rate, and even if you don’t choose this package, your contract will likely be at least a year long.

The company does charge an early termination fee for early cancellation, so make extensive use of product demos and consider getting a shorter contract until you’re sure Revel is the right POS system for you.

The pricing above is available if you purchase your hardware upfront from Clover.com.

If you decide to pay for your Clover hardware over time, you’ll be charged one monthly fee for your Clover hardware/software package.

We strongly discourage paying monthly for your hardware since you don’t actually own your hardware while using it, and in general, you end up paying more over time.

Some Clover apps, like Swift Pizza, cost an added monthly fee.

Clover’s best built-in pizza POS features include:

• Customizable loyalty program that automatically tracks and redeems points for every purchase
• Online ordering page with an easy-to-edit, branded menu for takeout and delivery
• Order With Google integration, allowing customers to order directly from your Google Business Profile
• Third-party delivery integrations with DoorDash, Grubhub, and other platforms

Clover’s standout advantage is its massive app marketplace, which lets you customize your system with both general and pizza-specific apps. One of the best is Swift Pizza, which allows staff or customers to visually build pizzas and streamline online ordering.

You can also add apps for employee scheduling, event or fundraiser management, retail sales, and inventory control, tailoring the POS to your exact needs.

Clover’s hardware lineup is equally flexible — use the Clover Flex for tableside orders, the Clover Station for counter service, or the Clover Mini for compact spaces.

Most pizza restaurants will want to use a Clover Mini  or a Clover Station  as their main register. You can also add Clover Flex tableside ordering and payment devices.

When purchased from Clover.com, Clover charges flat rates starting at 2.3% – 2.6% + $0.10 per transaction for in-person transactions, and 3.5% + $0.10 per transaction for card-not-present transactions (includes online orders, third-party delivery orders, and phone orders where you take cards over the phone.)

However, your payment processing contract may be structured differently depending on your Clover hardware/merchant services provider (the entity you actually buy your Clover system from).

Clover is sold by numerous different merchant services providers, banks, and even stores such as Sam’s Club. Your payment processing contract and customer service provider will depend on where you buy your system from.

While some providers offer affordable, month-to-month pricing, other Clover resellers could lock you into an expensive, multi-year contract. So be sure to purchase your POS directly from one of our recommended Clover providers.

Linga offers three base plans ranging from $29.99-$89.99/month billed annually.

There is also a pizza shop-specific add-on bundle which includes a loyalty program, caller ID, scheduling, a web-based ordering platform, and alerts for things like employee updates and low-stock notifications.

Like Toast, Linga offers an entire range of restaurant management products. Linga’s pizza shop-specific features include:

• Custom pizza builder with quarter-by-quarter pizza portioning/toppings
• Custom number of pizza slices per pie and custom pizza sizes
• Tiered pricing for toppings
• Custom delivery zones with estimated arrival times
• Accept phone orders with caller ID (paid add-on)
• Accept custom requests
• Branded mobile pizza ordering app and loyalty program (paid add-on)

Linga POS has a mobile bundle (includes iPad mobile POS, iPad case, and attached card reader) and a Zen customer display bundle (includes iPad mobile POS and iPad customer display on a dual display stand, receipt printer, and card reader.)

Linga offers an in-house processing service called Linga Pay, though you will have to reach out to the company for a pricing quote.

Linga also integrates with outside processors, including EVO, First Data, Worldpay, Bank of America Merchant Services, Global Payments, and others.

You’ll have to commit to Linga for one year to get the best deal (though month-to-month contracts are available). Make sure you closely read the payment processing contract with Linga Pay or whatever processor you choose to determine the contract length, fees, and terms.

There is no warranty on Linga POS hardware. You may return POS hardware within 30 days of receipt if it is in proper condition, and the company will keep 30% of the purchase price as a restocking fee.
