The Disney Parks Blog has released the first official details on the new pizzeria under construction at Italy in EPCOT:

Disney Parks Blog said:
Great news – especially if you share my passion for amazing pizza. An authentic pizzeria will be opening at the Italy Pavilion at Epcot theme park later this year and it’s an attention-grabber.
The new 300-seat restaurant will have traditional Florentine architecture, vaulted-ceilings and outside dining. And the food will be authentic — Italian dishes (complimenting the offerings at Tutto Italia ) and pizza from wood-burning ovens.
The pizzeria will be the newest flagship restaurant in the Patina Restaurant Group’s portfolio. And one of the special touches at the Epcot location will be the water. It’ll be imported from a source where the composition most resembles water used in Naples, Italy, to make the authentic Italian dough.
A name for the family-style pizzeria has not been finalized but we wanted to share this information with you first on the Disney Parks Blog. Construction is currently underway and the restaurant is scheduled to open in fall 2010.

If you have to make reservations for it, then it's useless. If not, good idea. We need COUNTER service now, not TABLE service if you ask me.

Agreed. At the very least, since it sounds like this is a table service place, there needs to be a Yak/Yeti like counter service window. All they need to serve is a few different slices of pizza and maybe a salad or pasta dish and they're set. Hopefully this will be the case. :shrug:

Venetian architecture....So, like the rest of the Pavilion? Cool, but I would have loved to see some Roman Ruins.


Sounds nice, though. Hope there is a CT.


Left these thoughts, though far more humorously on the blog. :D ;)

Totally agree, if it will be a table service, they need a side counter service. We are dying for some new counter service venues in Epcot. Especially something as easy to eat as Pizza! I get tired of grabbing a pretzel in Germany.

Sounds great! A couple of thoughts though. One, why didn't they try and utilize space at the front of the pavillion, like at water's edge, similar to Mexico's Cantina? The location is okay, but it just seems to me that much space is wasted at Epcot by not utilizing more space along the water for eating and viewing the night-time shows. Second, why doesn't Epcot build more table service restaurants with good water/lagoon views? It's such a beautiful park, and the lagoon has one of the best night time shows. It just seems to me that a few restaurants that had big views of the lagoon would make for some great evening meals. Perhaps someday in the future if any additions are ever made to World Showcase or any of the pavillions are ever re-done, they could build or change a couple of restaurants that would overlook the lagoon.
