Fast Food Tycoon 2 is a singleplayer bird's-eye view and isometric building, business and strategy game in the Pizza Tycoon series.

The game was initially released as Pizza Connection 2 in Europe, with certain re-releases labeled as Pizza Tycoon 2. Activision Value Publishing would release the game in the United States as Fast Food Tycoon 2, and despite both European names used on digital storefronts, the digital releases would be based on the American release.

Both the retail and digital versions have a problem with laggy text input, which can be resolved by using a custom DirectDraw wrapper.
