Pizza Rizzo was never the success that it was supposed to be..

Did you taste the pizza? It was really bad. All they had to do was serve decent pizza and it would have been successful. And by decent I mean boardwalk pizza window quality.

I meant financially and attended wise... the expanded seating capacity expecting the crowds for GE

I’m suggesting the financial and attendance issues are connected to the poor quality of pizza.

What continues to perplex me about bad pizza is that good or even just decent pizza is not hard to make, even at a large volume.

All the Food Courts have the same pizza. I think the problem is that it’s not in a Prime location anymore... it’s practically a back alley there.

They don’t, but you seem to have made up your mind already. Which is fine. Without going back in time and testing the same restaurant opening with a better menu neither of can prove anything.

Seriously, why not just replicate that recipe across all locations?

As a side note... remember when the pizza kitchen was open to spoodles so you could watch them making the pizzas but you couldn’t order a pizza from the restaurant?

One of the strangest things I’ve seen anywhere.

Pizza Rizzo pizza is a piece of cardboard topped with sauce and cheese. Absolutely terrible.

Everyone's talking about the quality of the pizza, but isn't it exactly what they served when it was Pizza Planet? And they never seemed to have any trouble filling the place then.

I don't mean to suggest that the Muppet-ness is what's caused a decline - if anything I think the LACK of Muppet-ness outside of the name would take a greater toll. But I have a hard time believing the menu is to blame since it's basically the same one the venue has always served.

Idiot theme based on a repulsive minor character of a faded franchise probably didn't help.

I admire your commitment for staying “on brand”

The main issue is that it is no longer along a main flowpoint of the parks. You have to make a conscious detour to go to Pizzerizzo. Pizza Planet was on the way to the premier theater and it functioned as a secondary causeway to the SoA.

I still can’t get over the Via Napoli window selling Sicilian slices.

When an increasing number of guests are only using pre-paid meal credits, it's easier to just serve them whatever.

Reminds me of ellio’s if anyone remembers that stuff. Frozen section.. been around for close to 50 years I think.
