Pizza Tower Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-08

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %APPDATA%\PizzaTower_GM2

Quick answer: On PC, Pizza Tower stores saves at C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\PizzaTower_GM2\ , with your progress in a saves subfolder as saveData1.ini, saveData2.ini and saveData3.ini (the number is the save slot). The fastest route is Win+R, paste %APPDATA%\PizzaTower_GM2 and press Enter โ€” note that %APPDATA% is the Roaming folder, NOT Local or LocalLow. Copy the whole PizzaTower_GM2 folder to back up every slot.
Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\PizzaTower_GM2
Steam Cloud copy

Pizza Tower (a GameMaker game) saves to the Roaming AppData folder, not Local โ€” the single most common wrong turn when people go hunting for it. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back it up.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\PizzaTower_GM2

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\PizzaTower_GM2\ . Saves are saveDataN.ini inside it. %APPDATA% is Roaming โ€” a frequent mix-up is looking in AppData\Local by mistake.

Steam Cloud copy
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

The Steam version syncs via Steam Cloud on launch/exit. A corrupted local .ini can overwrite the good cloud copy, so keep a manual backup.

Cloud saves

The Steam version of Pizza Tower syncs saves via Steam Cloud on launch and exit. Because a corrupted or zeroed saveData.ini can overwrite the good cloud copy the next time you launch, treat a manual copy of the PizzaTower_GM2 folder as your real backup.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Common loss: the save 'disappears' because people look in AppData\Local, or a run resets after a crash when Steam Cloud syncs an older saveData.ini.

  1. Open %APPDATA%\PizzaTower_GM2 via the Run box โ€” it's in Roaming, not Local or LocalLow.
  2. Before relaunching after a crash, copy the whole PizzaTower_GM2 folder somewhere safe.
  3. If the cloud rolled progress back, disable Steam Cloud for the game (or go offline), restore your saveDataN.ini, launch once to confirm, then re-enable cloud.
Back up first (Windows) โ€” copy & run

FAQ

Where is the Pizza Tower save file on PC?

In C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\PizzaTower_GM2\ as saveDataN.ini. Open it with %APPDATA%\PizzaTower_GM2.

Why can't I find my Pizza Tower save?

It's in the Roaming AppData folder (%APPDATA%), not Local or LocalLow โ€” that's the most common wrong turn.

Does Pizza Tower use Steam Cloud?

Yes โ€” it syncs on launch and exit, so a bad local saveData.ini can overwrite the cloud copy. Keep a manual backup.

How do I move Pizza Tower saves to a new PC?

Copy the PizzaTower_GM2 folder to the same %APPDATA% (Roaming) path on the new PC before launching, or let Steam Cloud sync.
