First official information on Italy pizzeria at EPCOT

[DisneyMusician2]

All I need now is a gondola ride to eat my pizza on.....

I know, we're never happy with anything!

Count me as excited. Italy needed a little more too it, hopefully this helps fill the void. Hopefully they do have a CS option, I can not imagine a restaurant being touted as a pizza place not having one though.

There is a gondola parked in the lake in front of the Italy area but few people see it.

Me too.

I think I'm one of the few here who is excited by the fact this new place is using their own water to make the pies. I shudder to think what they would taste like with the stuff Disney filters throughout the parks....

Yes, Orlando water is terrible.

Even though they haven't really said, I'm guessing this will be CS kind of like it works in Germany, or at AK with Yak and Yetti. After all, what pavilion at WS has 2 TS restaurants, other than Japan? The real question will be their prices?

It will be like most of the restaraunts in DL walk up quick service. There will be tables like a sit down but no reservations.

France has two.

Absolutely, we pump it in straight from the swamp, don't even filter it or anything! :lol:

If you drink enough Orlando water it will help you repel mosquitoes.

Thats why I stick to alcomahol

Hey, I just noticed that it says 'family-style pizzeria'. Could that possibly mean it's like 'Ohana, and you get as much pizza as you want?! :slurp:

How Great would that Be!! Family style usually means Large platters brought to the table and everyone fills their plate from the platter. Thats how we do it over here and thats how we did it at Grandmas every Sunday.

 

[JEANYLASER]

awesome news!

 

[disneypearl]

I am excited to see pizza being brought to Italy. I just hope that it is CS or has a CS option like a walk up window.

That is about 5 fist pumps :lol::ROFLOL:

From the Daily Disney:

Pizza lovers, rejoice. Disney World is adding a pizzeria to its Italy pavilion at Epcot.
The 300-seat restaurant is scheduled to open this fall, according to the official Disney Parks blog. It will sport Florentine architecture, vaulted ceilings, outdoor dining and a secret weapon — water.
“It’ll be imported from a source where the composition most resembles water used in Naples, Italy, to make the authentic Italian dough,” the blog reads.
A name for the pizzeria has not been announced. It will be part of the Patina Restaurant Group, which also operates the Epcot’s Tutto Italia restaurant as well as outlets in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles (including three at Anaheim’s Downtown Disney) and Las Vegas.

I am VERY excited about the part that says water will be imported from a source that will make authentic italian dough.

"water resembling Naples, Italy"

If they did that, maybe it means we can finally get a decent bagel at WDW as well.
