Plot[]
Butterbean and her little sister entered the café and greeted Dazzle and Jasper. Cricket entered the kitchen and asked Poppy what is she's making dough extra crisp for crisp crunchy crackers. Reuben and his mother came to the café and the latter told the bean team it's a special day, meaning it's his birthday. She also added that her son have his birthday party in the café. Butterbean expressed her delight and asked Dazzle if the party room is free, which she affirmed. Butterbean asked Reuben what type of party he would like, which he hummed in thought. She asked him what his favorite food (in the whole world) is, which he hummed in thought and replied "pizza...". With that Butterbean concluded they would be having a pizza party in the café. Reuben's mom agreed and said she would return with the other guests. Cricket claimed she's never made pizza before as soon as they left, but her big sister told back that she has had pizza before and already known the first ingredient. After Cricket said it – (dough) – Butterbean continued using her bean screen to control movements on the beanitor as she spelled out the procedure.
Cricket asked Poppy if she could make some pizzas, which she affirms, taking a dough and laying it on the cooking sheet infront of her. She thows it up in the hope of landing it on the dough sheet, but rather lands on her head. She takes the next dough and throws it up the second time and it lands on Jasper's head as he walks past carrying a load. The third dough she picks and throws upwards, it lands flat on the dough sheet. Butterbean via her whisk took the laddle to fetch tomato sauce to pour on her dough crust and spread it with salad. She told her little sister to take her pick of farm-fresh vegetables and pepperoni. She took a vegetable and put it on her pizza. Butterbean asked Cricket if she would like to be the host of Reuben's birthday party. She gave her the definition when she ked for it and opted to do it. Cricket told her her pizza wasn't yet ready, but Poppy took it and assured her it'll be safe. Reuben and his friends came to the main café area to have a little game. Cricket came to lure them to the party room where they start playing with some balloons. Butterbean told them – with the party of to a great start – to let the party begin and getting ingredients.
Dazzle told the party host to start taking the order. She showed the choices to Reuben's friends who picked sparingly. Dazzle calmed them down and told Reuben to pick, as it's his birthday. He first picked mushrooms, then pepperoni and lastly, pineapple with the kids – including Reuben himself – exclaiming "yum" to each choice pick. As soon as Dazzle left, the unnamed kid told her he dosen't like pepperoni as he doesn't eat meat, so Cricket said they'll rather put the pepperoni on one half of the pizza. She went down to Dazzle and notified her about the change of pizza appearance. She returned to the party room where Dottie expressed like for onions – which Reuben told her his mother says upsets his tummy – so Cricket concluded onions will be on one half of the pizza like the pepperoni. She went to Dazzle the second time, told her the changes and headed back to the party room for a third time. Dottie requested bacon – which Cricket want clarification it was/wasn't on the menu – which was approved by what turned out to be Dottie's brother. She went to Dazzle to add the changes as Butterbean told the viewer(s) they need to get the pizza in the oven but for the constant pizza order changesfrom the kids. She also expressed Cricket's industry but notes that complications may start creeping it soon. Dottie requested for olives for hers and Cricket sets out for the fifth time to tell Dazzle about the change. Mr. Brookwrench and another customer saw Cricket move into and from the party room, beginning to look concerned. She returned to the party room where she got sent for a sixth time – the unnamed kid requesting for sausage and spinach to be added to his (if not their) pizza. With fatigue visibly exhibited on Cricket's face, Butterbean added by interacting to the viewer(s) that each kid wants their pizza differently, so she has to find a way to unify and rectify this.
Cricket returned for the seventh time more than exhausted, but seeing the kids draw their own pizza, she widened her eyes. Cricket thinks that drawing pizza is making them hungry and opens the door to lure them off to the slide. Looking at the different pizza drawings, Cricket took them to Cricket. Both Butterbean and Poppy were trying to keep up with and decorate pizzas how Dazzle says until Poppy admits it's a complicated pizza and Cricket proving evidence with the pizza drawings. Poppy can't decide to make different pizzas for every kid. Between the sisters, the problem had its solution – not different big pizzas, but a little pizza for everyone! Butterbean undid the pizza and split it to 3 thin dough layers with her magic whisk. Poppy asked about the toppings and Butterbean agreed to her little sister's idea of everyone picking their own toppings for their own pizzas, using her herself as an example, before adding that it'll be pizza-making party – rather than just a pizza party – as everyone is going to be a pizza chef. Cricket showed the kids how to make their own customized pizza. Dottie thought her pizza having a face, the unnamed kid wants to use olives for eyes for his, Reuben makes a pun of broccoli making good hair. Butterbean giggles and tells them to Let's Get Cooking! – which they did with its acompanying song. After the pizzas have been made, Poppy put them in the oven, whiles Butterbean told the audience about Cricket's idea working and pizzas being done, as she heard the timer chime.
Butterbean, her little sister and Dazzle brought the fresh pizzas to them and the former does the fairy finish with a singing bean on the pizzas to make them sing the birthday song. The birthday wishes kept pouring out for Reuben as giggles and squeals from his friends and the bean team mixed with them until the episode ends.
