A few days ago WDW confirmed that a new Italian Pizzeria will be added in the Italian Pavillion at Epcot. Apparently there will be authentic Italian pizza at affordable prices and this will be constructed next to the current reastaurant. what does everyone think?
I think it's about time. What took so long? Hopefully it really will be good pizza because WDW really lacks in that department.http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...nk/pizza-1.gif
I read that this week in the All Ears Newsletter.
From Disney Mike here is the link to the story and the pictures of
where it is in Italy along with construction pictures.
Napoli Pizzeria Coming to Italy in Epcot (DizneyMike?s World)
Wonder what Disney considers affordable for a pizza. Hope they taste better than the Frisbees at DHS.
I have no hope for authentic... That "Gelato" they attempt to pass off as authentic :lol: Got to be worst stuff ever!Quote:

I disagree! I think Disney has mastered the personal pizza.Quote:

I hope this really is good. If it's authentic pizza such as found in Naples though, some may be disappointed. Usually, Napoli pizza includes just cheese, sauce, basil, and mushrooms (some combination of these) cooked in a wood burning oven. They are excellent all the same.
That's sounds really good, I'm looking forward to that.
I was reading a release about this and Disney is going to be importing water from an area close to Naples, Italy to make the dough with. The water should really help since water and air moisture are two big things when it comes to the taste of dough. I'm curious to hear reviews after it's opened, though a lot of Americans will probably think it's not good without mounds of toppings. oh well....
I hail from No. IL and we are fortunate to have some word renowned pizza establishments up here. My family and I have tossed soooo many Disney pizzas from Momma's, hotel fare and the famous Frisbees from Pizza Planet at DHS.
I'm hoping they will be great from Italy and offer both types of pizzas to satisfy everyone's preferences. But they had better be good.
Oh Bety you scare me. It looks like my DD will be at Tulane and if you believe Disney has perfected pizza, what will we be in for in NOLA??:lol:Quote:

They knew where to ship them from and it wasn't Disney World. :mickeykid
I have no hope for authentic. My question would be what do they mean by authentic? Neapolitan? Lazio? Sicilian? There are just too many varieties. I'm guessing they will go on a variation of Neapolitan. That is what most Americans are used to.Quote:

I couldn't agree more with this!!Quote:

I'm not sure adding a new Pizzeria is the cure for subpar pie at WDW. From what I understand it's the FL water that is the problem. I hear it's not very good for making crust. Of course that's not much of an excuse for the sauce, cheese and toppings. I do know that when you get back from a long park day and hit the food court, even that pizza tastes good to the whole family.
I'm hoping for authentic pizza. There is nothing like an old world pie...
