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

[Jwhee]

The severe lack of Muppet theming is startling..

the same pizza has probably been sitting in the freezer during the whole refurb

At least the salad doesn't look awful?
Any word on the beers?

Yes, they suspiciously taste a lot like rat pee! (except colder)

Well, it does have that Rizzo thing going for it. Just curious, what would you recommend having there for theming?

Love the caricature wall, and the decor is nice and clean. It's really unfortunate though, that they didn't theme it more. The Muppet-store has more theming in it than this place does. Muppet-rats should be hiding in the rafters...missed opportunity, IMO.

I think the inside theme was not supposed to be all Muppets everywhere...but more of a NYC pizzeria, which isn't too complicated. People from NYC can tell me whether is fits that theme...

 

[Andrew C]

Has someone tasted the pizza yet to confirm whether it is exactly the same?

It does look very much like a New York pizzeria.

If only the pizza represented New York pizza...

Haha yeah. I knew we were not going to get all the way there but I was hoping they used a better sauce or something. That's why I'm wondering whether someone has tasted it yet.

...so Bud Light then ?

 

[Disney Analyst]

What a plain restaurant. Why even bother giving it a Muppets name?! Yeesh.

I hate being a complainer but come on! There's subtle and then there's SUBTLE....

 

[Andrew C]

We can do better than that....miller lite.

 

[PREMiERdrum]

The interior is very well done... it's authentic and well-layered. The banquet hall especially is great. I think it's important to remember that the Muppet's live in our world and our spaces. As much as I love all the visual gags in the MuppetVision 3D queue, it's quite heavy-handed and obvious for the spirit of the franchise.

We're not escaping to some other dimension... we're supposed to be in a Brooklyn-area (pre-Gentrification) pizzeria that happens to be managed by Rizzo and his family. By that count, to me, this nails it.

They used a few signs from SOA on the walls. Nice little touch

It's definietly the same.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Unfortunately, it's just a QuickServe. They normally don't get any big theming besides decoration.

Would love to see authentic NY style pizza there though. It's not like you can't make a good profit off of it.
