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

I have not eaten there since around 2010. I thought it was pretty bad at that time...so I have skipped it since..

It was at least 2010 when I last went there.

This trip we did Via Napoli, Blaz Pizza twice and I had a flatbread at Pinnocos in MK. The flatbread didn't have enough sauce and was almost cracker-like crispy. I would have preferred the old pizza.

We ate there in 2005 and were similarly unimpressed -- I wouldn't be surprised if the meal you ate there in 2010 was sitting back in the freezer at that moment! (We live in a pocket of Upstate NY that happens to offer a plethora of amazing, New York City-style pizza, so our standards are a bit inflated...) We'll visit for the theming and for the cannoli: I have decided that if I order a salad with the cannoli, I am allowed to call it a "healthful" meal!

We had the pizza here back in April of 15. It was the same crappy pizza we had at Pizzafari over at AK. It was...desiring a lot to be honest...I felt like I got more crust than pizza...I feel like a $1.50 Totino's would be a better value...

Here's hoping they've remedied this.

Am I the only person who thought the pizza was fine?

Its not as good as Blaze or Via Napoli, but the crust was about Dominos standard.

Right. That's the problem. The pizza is on par with Dominos.

"Upstairs will be Rizzo’s Deluxe Supreme Banquet Hall, where there’s a wedding reception already in progress."

wut?

"Upstairs will be Rizzo’s Deluxe Supreme Banquet Hall, where there’s a wedding reception already in progress."

wut?

IKR! So exciting to see the additional theming!

 

[Jeff456]

Disappointed in that it seems as though we will be getting the same mediocre pizza

 

[Weather_Lady]

Leave the pizza, take the cannoli.

Now I'm picturing myself sauntering into PizzeRizzo, looking around, and quoting minor Muppet Johnny Fiama in my smoothest and most disapproving drawl... "Sal... there are no cannolis here."

wut?

All I can picture is a muppet version of Tony n' Tina's Wedding.

This would've been a great way to try big NY style slices on property and see how they would've done.

I wonder if that confirms the pizza will be the same. Seems like a lot of awesome theme to put together with crappy pizza....

To cut corners....I'm sure it will be the exact same thing....

that actually looks better than I remember...lol

Then you start eating annnnd...

 

[PizzaPlanet]

Soft drinks = soda.

Or pop, depending on where you live.

 

[Mawg]

Or pop, depending on where you live.

Everyone here calls all sodas Coke. It's so confusing.

 

[Fox&Hound]

So excited for this but it seems like a wasted opportunity to not offer better pizza when this reopens!

 

[DinoInstitute]

Am I missing something? I didn't see anywhere in the Disney Parks blog release that the food would stay the same

 

[Daveeeeed]

Will be driving down the 17th! Can't wait to try this out then.

The pizza topping announced options were identical to pizza planet. The meatball sub and antipasto salad are identical to the old menu. Therefore if the menu is the same we can guess the pizza will be the same.

They should serve the old skool rectangle/square pizza from elementary school. The place would be packed....
