EPCOT Italy pizzeria name revealed!

[Mr.EPCOT]

And the verdict is...

VIA NAPOLI

From the official Walt Disney World press news site:

AUTHENTIC NEAPOLITAN PIZZERIA: Via Napoli, operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, is coming to Italy in Epcot World Showcase in time for fall 2010. Shown here in a concept rendering, the 300-seat restaurant will feature a menu inspired by the famous pizzerias of southern Italy.

Props to the Inside the Magic Twitter feed for catching it.

I can live with that. After all, Naples is the "generally" held city where pizza was first created so I think this works well.

That is pretty good. I am hoping the pizza there will be delicious! :slurp:

Fall 2010..... hopefully they are open and can capitalize on F&W crowd!

I like it. I'd also take Va Via! Napoli and Va Fa Napule.

Let's just hope the pizza there tastes as good as the name sounds, and its not the standard Disney pizza fare...

Come on...early finish for May:lookaroun ok...i know that's not a reality.

As a huge pizza lover...I look for better than the standard pizza at WDW so needless to say I'm psyched for this place!!!

Perfect name. I just hope they offer tradional pizza, which is very different from the americanized versions, along with some other dishes, I really can't wait to see what this turns out to be. Anyone have artist concepts of the interior?

And here's what the menu will probably look like... (pdf)
