PizzeRizzo announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios - Was: Rumor: Pizza Planet/Mama Melrose closing?

Maybe the restaurant could be Fozzie-themed. Every item on the menu has a bad pun for a name.

A Fozzie-themed restaurant with bad puns? I don't think I could bear it.

From the looks of it, basically every reference to Pizza Planet seems to be gone online. For something being labeled as a "refurbishment," seems unusual to remove it entirely from every site and app. If anyone doubted that this was getting re-themed and thought it would return as Pizza Planet, I guess this should sway you at least slightly.

Was there anyone who actually believed that?

Haven't seen any wall photos around this place. Many are saying they look muppet like.

This is brilliant. Can't wait to see all of the humor in the finished restaurant.

The other sign that's a construction notice is even Muppet-y-er in the humor. Besides that it's just signs for Its A Wonderful Shop and a sign directing to the nearest restrooms (it matches the theme of SOA).

 

[YodaMan]

I take back everything I just said. Even more Muppet humor added since I was there yesterday.

 

[YodaMan]

And there's nothing to see yet, but nice that we're already preparing to get some sneak peeks

I believe I said Disney wanted the show to do better, thus the forthcoming changes, and that we'd get a mini land with the 3D show (eventually redone) and dining. Still correct. Still no Great Muppet Movie Ride.

Is there still a chance of Mama Melrose getting redone?

 

[doctornick]

I will say that seeing those signs on the construction walls makes me excited at the prospect of more Muppets themed stuff in DHS, especially as it will improve the cohesiveness of that area.

I guess we will know for sure that Pizza Planet it going away when they remove the rocket from the roof.

...unless they re-theme that to a Pigs in Space rocket...

Is Bill Post a muppets reference? Sorry I'm not a huge muppets fan so I don't get the joke.

A 'bill' was posted in the area that says 'post no bills' by a guy named Bill Post.

No, just that the humor on the walls is typical for what we see with the Muppets.

Hi people. This is my first action but I've been a longtime watcher here.

Was there anyone who actually believed that?

Well I think some people were hoping that they would make the place actually look like Pizza Planet from the movie rather than the current restaurant which is very sparsely themed and looks more like some cafeteria at your local zoo. However, I didn't really believe this, because putting money into the Toy Story theme doesn't make a whole lot of sense when it won't be in Toy Story Land. Although when you look at Star Tours in Disneyland and the situation there, who knows what to expect?

I'm glad it's being rethemed. But I'm surprised that they're going with the Muppets (if that's true). Muppets Most Wanted didn't do fabulous. And The Muppets show on ABC, well, the ratings dropped drastically from the premiere to the last episode. The company seems to think that everything has to have a strong movie IP backing it for it be successful, so this would be a neat surprise.

I know a lot of people hate it but it was the only decent quick service in the park, and I guess I am alone in the fact that I hate the muppets and don't understand why we need more muppets.

Your standards of decent are a bit high...
