A Minnie Van driver told me the same thing so it must be true
There are some halfway decent frozen pizzas just like there are some halfway decent frozen burgers. What Disney uses for both are awful.
Cape Cod Pizza company makes solid frozen bar pizzas in a handful of different flavors and bubba burgers are far better than anything Disney serves in their QS restaurants.
You win. We can close the thread.

Yeah, don’t understand the hate for pizzerizzo here, my biggest complaint is that it closes at 4 for a park that barely has any restaurants. We always eat in the ballroom, the theming there is on point.

I saw that on an episode of How It's Made.
I was told by a Bus Driver's barber that they are replacing it with these.

Or maybe they could have done something creative and brought in the Swedish chef. Heck, I'd be okay if behind the ordering counters, we were greeted by a huge screen (good quality mind you) of the chef cooking and talking to the food and the customers.
Then to add to the ordering experience, there would be a pick-up window with another screen with the rats working in the kitchen talking to each other and you would hear funny jokes and commentary as you wait for your pizzas and what not.
Not sure why I chimed in with that, but that idea just happened and now I wish I could see it in person.

Could they be changing the pizza? Haven't they recently changed the pizza at Sunshine Seasons and some other quick service places?

I've never seen it not deserted. But I also rarely see the area around Muppets not deserted. Granted, I haven't been since Baseline opened, so maybe that brings some people over.
I definitely don't think that keeping it closed until summer (or even till Star Wars) is that bad of an idea. It isn't a well received place and Studios has other dissapointing quick services to fill the void. Maybe this will give them a chance to refresh the menu or add a bit more theming.
Or they could revert the space back to a walkthrough exhibit like it was before they made Pizza Planet. Sacrifice an unliked restaurant to add another simple/cheap attraction to handle star wars crowds

Another lost concept but who knows with the recent investment in DHS maybe they will revisit the idea.

close it, do a quick awesome retheme of either Swedish chef or Rizzo with animatronics (like what was originally supposed to be there). Open in time for mickey and star wars and this would be a slam dunk with the crowds and bring in some muppets and something else for people to see and do.
Why do these things seem so easy for us, and yet the people who should be making these decisions don't. The roi would be worth it. And they will need it when star wars and mickey open.

The venue is nice. A/C good. If they would create a menu that guests enjoyed it would solve the problem. A frozen pizza cooked Sams club style is not great. They fixed the Commissary they can fix the food here too. The Commissary use to be low attendance now hard pressed to find a table.

If someone with even a fraction of the creativity and passion Walt had still ran the company, yup. That's exactly what we'd have - at a minimum - and probably a whole lot more amazing stuff we couldn't even imagine.

The Stage 1 Company Store recently reopened, after being reimagined, and it could not be anymore generic. The flooring and cabinets remind me of an early 2000s Gap Kids and babygap store. There is absolutely no theme, just a merchandise space with standard fixtures.
If the signage was removed, then PizzeRizzo, too, would be generic; it is a quintessential Italian counter service restaurant with nods to a neighborhood pizzeria.
If the banners were removed from the exterior, then MuppetVision 3D would simply be the Grand Arts Theatre.
Muppet Courtyard became Grand Avenue.
I am no insider and have no knowledge of the future of PizzeRizzo and this courtyard, but this area could easily transform into another land in a short period of time because it largely exists in signage alone. There is no indication, in any guest space within this area, to suggest that the Muppets are permanent residents of Grand Avenue.
This is purely armchair Imagineering, but Grand Avenue is city enough to become Metroville.

The quickserve at mgm is so awful that it all should be closed...by the health department
Agreed. But I actually thought Woody's was halfway okay the 2 times I went there.
