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

[Goofyernmost]

I think I was expecting a Muppet themed Pizzeria, instead we have a NY Pizzeria themed QS with Muppet decorations. Honestly, that is probably what I should have expected. Muppets isn't a theme, Muppets 'live' in our world, so Muppet decorations on a well themed NY Pizzeria makes sense.

No one has yet to tell me exactly what a Muppet themed Pizzeria would be like. Or why it is important.

Ah yes, money. The only thing that matters to them.

Weird... a business that thinks that money matters. How foolish.

Can anyone make out the text in the background? Something about a memorial service?

Great tribute to Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas on that ballroom signage!

Where is it?

Im confused?

Looks pretty good to me. They went ahead and spent money they didn't strictly need to spend, and plussed Pizza Planet. That's a net positive in my book.... The pizza sucks, but look, you're in Florida, in a theme park, you get what you get.

What kind of logic is that? Just because it's in a theme park in Florida, you think that by default the food should be crap and we just have to live with it? There's plenty of fantastic quick service food in the theme parks in Florida. Just because of it's location, doesn't mean we can't hold it up to higher standards of food. It's not hard to make decent pizza, if they put in the effort to change the menu I guarantee it will be much better. The problem people have is that zero effort was put in to adjust the quality of the food, instead they just re-themed it and left the awful pizza how it was.

Oh nice! I guess this was what @UpDog71 was referring to. It says "Pa Otter Memorial Service with Tribute Performance by the Frogtown Hollow Jubilee Band" which is a reference to Jim Henson's Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. Such a super cool hidden reference. Would not have noticed that

 

[Disneyhead'71]

Never made any sense to have him in a pizzeria anyway. I always marvel at the expectations of a simple quick service dining facility. It is nicely done, It will take a lot of people that just want something simple but people want gold plated plastic knives. Simply amazing.

The competition has caused bad habits.

Don't even know what that is. Is it a dining area at Uni? If so, what's the name and what does it offer. Hard to make a comparison at this angle.

It is a Counter Service restaurant in Universal Studios Florida called The Leaky Cauldron.

I like how they have the food names themed to harry potter.. Idk how i can imagine muppet named pizza by a rat.... I think i would lose my appetite.. But in reality and muppets perspective.. The Muppets live in OUR world.. A lot of you seemed disappointed.. but you have to remember its not like its only the muppets in their movies... theres human beings... I think you guys were thinking otherwise

Sooo....are you saying that all those cheeky puns didn't exist because....idk....it is our world. I don't even get what you are trying to say.

The Muppets always lived in our world. So now we can't have puns because.....?

Wow...small but significant details like the faded message on the letter board are why I love Disney! Also a huge fan of Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas!

Great minor details. It's a shame they couldn't theme the place too.

I like how they have the food names themed to harry potter..

One of the things I hate about that is how do I know what it is exactly. Is there a translation sheet someplace to see before you get to the order point or does it take a week or so for people to ask exactly what each item really. It would be pretty disappointing to find out that Bangers and Mash was nothing more then Peanut Butter and Jelly.

The one item that is explained (Ploughman's Platter) is downright unappealing to me. I worded that as nicely as I could. Nothing wrong with it, but, nothing I would like.

Isn't that theming? What would be the purpose otherwise?

?? it is themed for a NY pizza parlor, with some really good detail toward muppets and their puns. What do you want....the Electric Mayhem to jump in your lamp while eating?

At the entrance there is a display window that shows all the menu items. And The Ploughman's Platter is what I always get. Here is what the "example" looks like.

And the menus have descriptions.

Theming and decoration are not the same thing.
