How Disney World Tried to Ruin Pizza

[@jilleckl7078]

I lived in Naples, Italy when my father was stationed there years ago and I found that I became an Italian food snob once I came back to the States due to my experiencing amazing Italian cuisine while living overseas. 😍 I whole heartedly agree with your food reviews in this video and Via Napoli is one of my favorites at WDW! After watching your video, I’m suddenly craving prosciutto and melon! It’s an amazing combination on their own and delicious on a pizza.

[@calleywaggonner6045]

I genuinely loved Pizzerizzo, when I went! I absolutely love the muppets, so that didn’t hurt. We got our pizza and our little salad, which was actually really nice when we’d been eating theme park food for a week. We probably needed that salad more than we’d have admitted

[@tpieples]

I proposed to my wife at Tutto Italia, too!...back in 1990. We both watch you regularly...and now we know why we have such a bond! Keep up the great videos! Love them!

[@VictoriaGates]

Via Napoli story... My late husband died in 2017 after a long battle with a sudden terminal illness. My kids and I were down and depressed as you might imagine so... 4 months after he died I decided to surprise the kids with a trip to Epcot to cheer them (and me) up because we love Disney. We wandered a bit aimlessly all morning trying to have some fun and forget our troubles until we got hungry and we stumbled upon the gem that is Via Napoli. Our server seemed to sense we were not feeling super great emotionally because he was the kindest, most generous and attentive person to us. That pizza was fantastic and between the great food and his cheerful attitude we all finally had some genuine smiles on our faces when we left.

[@karenrandall6187]

The Aperol Spritz is my absolute favorite cocktail. I discovered it on my first trip to Italy. Every time I drink one I'm transported back there!

[@dstardanc2007]

Tony’s: 0/10 for social distancing. Can’t believe another group was seated right behind you!

[@Ridiculyssa]

Can we get a “Most Romantic Restaurants at Disney” video feat. Molly and Alan? I think that would be super sweet (and helpful!), and they could both tell their version of their first date/proposal story. 😂

[@mariacade3498]

Love this video style!! Would love to see Molly review other “types” of food around the parks like Mexican or Asian!!

[@cassidystarchild7907]

I love PizzaRizzo, I like bland food so don't mind the meh pizza. Also it's great that we could just walk in and get a seat right away.

[@1BrickShy]

I thought the "pillow-y" pizza from PizzaRizzo looked far more appetizing than the fancy one in the Italy pavilion!! But I'm not fancy either, so..... lol!

[@erica.e.emily1]

Molly, I think the ears you’re wearing in Italy are my favorite you’ve worn. So pretty!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Right? Tony's is in the perfect location, you'd think the food there would be great! It's just like San Angel Inn. Great location, not so great food. Now Via Napoli on the other hand, that is the GOAT. Perfect pizza

[@bobcheapek4334]

To be fair, Italians don't run the Italian restaurants at the parks. Perhaps that's something we should change

[@crystalculp8021]

OMG, Bob Chapek watches Molly!

[@chaotictattoo]

This isn’t the real bob chapek lol

[@eric_in_florida]

Stop impersonating an exec, it's not funny or cool.

[@em4634]

Definitely! I agree :)

[@stuckinmopro8533]

We had a wonderful meal at Mama Melrose’s. At first we were simply looking for a cool place to relax on an extremely long, hot day but we were pleasantly surprised once we started to eat. All four of us ordered a different entree and we shared so that we each got a chance to sample four different meals. Definitely can recommend it!

[@caseykees4511]

The steak there is one of my favorites, apart from Le Cellier. I tell everyone that if they can't afford Le Cellier that Mama Melrose's is the next best thing.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Carlo's is originally from Hoboken, NJ. I know because I used to live right by it when I lived in NJ

[@RachieSSays]

I know I’m in MA and I don’t think we got one. I’m pretty sure she meant Hoboken. 🤣Unless she was thinking Mikes which is the Massachusetts equivalent to Carlo’s.

[@beckyjessup2228]

We had Pizzerizzo in November and it was delicious!!!!! I would definitely eat there again!

[@mikedonley1287]

It's fun watching Molly eat and review everything at WDW. (almost as much fun as watching her drink BEER)

[@jenniferevans5233]

The Via Napoli pizza that you reviewed is my FAVORITE as well. It's delicious!!

[@25dancemom]

You are pretty much spot on with the places you reviewed. Only one worth doing is Via Napoli, but I whish options outside the parks had been included. There are some great options there.

[@DarkMasterofCupcakes]

Anyone notice that on the sign for the reception at Pizzarizzo, the groom, Gil, has two dads (Bill and Phil?)

[@Lunabit1002]

I hope so its either phil or philis but I'm hoping for two dads

[@jaybruminator]

I have an aunt name Phyllis and we call her aunt phil

[@DarkMasterofCupcakes]

@@Lunabit1002 True....but they don't make that clear on the sign, so I'm calling it as two dads.

[@jedi6527]

Thank you for this video, I just have a problem paying the prices for okay Italian food that I can get better at home, and instead opt for dishes and cuisine that are worth the price.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

I’ve eaten with my kids at PizzaRizzo and man did my kids destroy their pizza, I also got the pizza and salad and I loved it. I’m basic though, not an adventure eater so it was right up my alley. And I agree the seating is tremendous there and def easy as heck to find a seat, we sat on the balcony like you Molly 😎

[@lindsaymoser4200]

Even if we're stuffed, if that little window in Italy is open we'll stop and get a piece of pizza. It's so good. Need to try Via Napoli.

[@katievecchione8135]

You need to try via Napoli every time me and my family go to Disney we go there and it’s our favorite restaurant

[@akhorahil6250]

The Italian restaurants in Epcot are on point. They are ran by the Patina Restaurant Group, more importantly chef Joachim Splichal. I'm fairly certain they will also be running the Space 220 restaurant too.

[@alycew.787]

I LOVE those sweet Hills pet food commercials on Molly’s videos!❤️❤️❤️ I’ve started feeding my cats their food 😍

[@aaronryan002]

Thank you for braving all of these and risking it.

[@darialesmerises]

The giant pizza at Via Napoli is the best pizza I’ve ever had. My family gets it every time we go and we can finish practically all of it with just 3 people. Definitely recommend.

[@teridavis3939]

Next time you’re in Boston go to Mikes Pastry in the North End if you want great cannolis

[@huck7707]

I was thinking maybe she meant to say Mike's. So good! Is there a Carlos's in Boston?

BTW, Tutto Gusto (before the pandemic) did allow you to get food from the main restaurant menu. We did that a few years ago. The lasagna is outstanding there.

[@disneyfamily5158]

Yes, Tony's really is just a more expensive Olive Garden, with less food, but it's a great location and we enjoy it once in a while.....real slim pickin's in MK, food wise.

[@quinaquen298]

Mama Melrose's is one of my favorite restaurants, the short rib they make is one of my all time favorite meals.

[@karindion6984]

I absolutely LOVE Disney pizza and Pizzerizzo!! The restaurant itself has great theming, plenty of seating, and friendly cast members. The pizza is delicious and I crave it when at home!!

[@judibrake6508]

Thin crust, wood grilled pizza is heavenly! BTW, living outside of Boston, North End cannoli are the best, very authentic and delicious. I’m glad you had a chance to visit. Our next trip to WDW is Nov of this year, hoping we see some of the All Ears crew in the parks!! 🥰

[@lindashrader6908]

I live in Cincinnati and we are fortunate to have La Rosas pizza. Also, Chicago has the best pizza restaurant if you’re willing to wait an hour and read all the graffiti everywhere. I would not eat Italian anywhere in Disney except in Epcot where the people working at that restaurant are actually Italian. Love your videos, Molly. Always well-paced and well-spoken.

[@kbaccari88]

I love the atmospheric of all the places. Can Breedlove do all the plant based options for each park?

[@LisaAnn365]

Molly, your caprese salad was prepared properly. An Italian would never add balsamic vinegar (acid) to this type of salad, as there are tomatoes (acid) on it (learned that on Food Network, haha). It would be served as you received it! Love all your videos, thanks for sharing!

[@carolynphinney7315]

Totally agree, about the desserts. We usually will get a dessert at the confectionery or Disney springs.

[@emilynicole8787]

Prosciutto e melone is an incredibly popular appetizer in Italy! Often you’ll see them wrapped :) so good.

[@freyahunt4977]

The pizza window and Via Napoli pizza is the best !! The worst pasta I ever had was at the food courts in some of the value Disney resorts . One tasted like old stale water , it was terrible 😔

[@heidibrown2357]

The kids dessert at Blue Bayou at Disneyland is AMAZING. We get it when we eat there! I would take that over most desserts in Disneyland. They are SO good!

[@amberd007]

Great video, so much fun and very informative. A little history tidbit, in Italy it's common to wrap prosciutto around melon as an appetizer or a snack. 🍈🍈🥓🥓🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@BLutetia]

Dai Molly non *puoi* ordinare il cappuccino con l'antipasto!!! No-no-no. We love you Molly, don't make us suffer this way

[@Thisishoweroll]

When my daughter and I went to Disney in 2018, we stayed at the Lake Bueno Vista Hilton. They had the BEST pizza. We kept ordering room service pizza when we got back to the room at night!

[@lizieliz1979]

I have to agree that most of the Italian food at Disney is not the best. One of the meals I have when I come back from Disney is Pizza. We are so spoiled here in NJ with amazing Italian good that it’s not my go to at Disney.

[@seriousblond007]

I actually loved the food we got at Tony's and it was a great use of a credit on our dining plan because we did the VIP package for the parade when it was running. We were actually so full, we took our desserts to go and ate them during the parade an hour later!

[@amberfurg3565]

Via Napoli is my families absolute favorite restaurant in all of disney! Their pizza and tiramisu is the best I’ve had ever. We literally thought about flying down for this place!

[@julieaaron9219]

The worst thing about Tony’s is the acoustics. A nice table-service restaurant should not be SO loud!

we loved tony’s and the service was INCREDIBLE

[@stevencompau4163]

I just made my reservations for Via Napoli a few hours ago for next Wednesday. I love the Prosciutto e Melone appetizer. I've never had it on the pizza. My go to is always the large create your own with pepperoni and truffle oil.

Prosciutto and melon doesn't sound weird at all. It's really nice, well known combo. It's served in a lot of restaurants. I've had it as a starter many times. It's also quite popular as an appetiser at Christmas.

[@XimenaSu1609]

Prosciutto and melon is a delicious combination if you ask me!

[@asudevil316]

It is extremely common...especially in places with actual Italian populations like Chicago

[@MouseTalk]

I gotta say, I don't mind the pizza at PizzaRizzo. Certainly not the best pizza on property but it's not bad. I know i'm in the minority but hey, that's what this is all about right? Differing opinions. Thanks for the video Molly. Always good to see you in the parks.

We ate at Tony’s last week. 2 had pizza. It wasn’t bad. Then we had a chicken part and chicken Alfredo. Both of those were sent back. Pasta was cold. After them redoing both they were good. Nothing to write home about as usual. Via Napoli great as always.

[@candycemonroe7345]

Pizza rizzo pizza looks like a slightly better school lunch pizza.

[@mcleigh66]

I adore Mama Melrose's, and you touch on one of the main reasons, briefly: That server who guided you to something tasty? I *always* get excellent service there, and always feel special. It's a "best kept secret" for me, as ... well, folks don't think it's going to be good, so I have no problem getting a reservation.

I know it's not in the parks, but we enjoy Il Mulino at the Swan. Mussels are fabulous.

[@magicinmichigan]

You know, I agree with a lot of the things you're pointing out, but I think sometimes you just want the quick casual option, and it really hits the spot in that moment. I grew up in the south where people fight over the right way to make biscuits, cornbread, grits, and the like, and if you make it a different way it's 'wrong' or 'not real.' I think it's all good, and if you like the flavor, who cares if it's 'authentic.'

[@gabrieleharmon4648]

Melon, wrapped in proccuito with a little balsamic is one of my fave apps I serve at parties.

[@MiddleAgedOnMainstreet]

There’s only one thing we eat at Pizza Rizzos it’s the Vegan Italian sausage sandwich. The sauce isn’t amazing, but the beyond sausage is good. Pizza Ponte is our FAVORITE. The mask usage is a little on and off(it’s usually just one guy), but other than that we love it. The pizza window at Epcot was weird about 3 weeks ago. The crust was super chewy and the sauce tasted different. The pepperoni was still the same.

[@emiliec24]

Molly...you need to try a lemon spritz! It's basically the same as aperol spritz, but the aperol is replaced with limoncello!

Prior to the closure we would go to Tony's for breakfast. Standard Disney breakfast fare (meh) without the buffet, and Lady and the Tramp is my fav Disney movie and has been since I was a kid.

Honestly, if it’s not Via Napoli we don’t even bother with Italian food in WDW. We have eaten at Tony’s but like Cindy’s, it’s not the food why you’re there. Topolino’s is a place a would like to go and try Italian food!

[@heska2]

Tony’s was a horrible experience for us. The food tasted like a TV dinner had been warmed up, and the server completely ignored our table for a larger table with a big group of young ladies. It would take a menu overhaul for us to go back. Which is sad because the restaurant is so cute.

While Via Napoli and Naples, at Downtown Disney, have the best pizza I have ever had, Blaze Pizza, in Disney Springs, is a close second.

[@JB-sm4zt]

Blaze pizza is freakin terrible.

[@ccm1767]

At PizzaRizzo, I actually think the meatball sub is not bad. It's not amazing, but it's less expensive than many other Disney quick service items, and if you are craving meat on a bun it is MUCH better than the quick service burgers at various other WDW places. And as you said, lots of seating and there is at least a little theming. I also prefer cannolis without the fruit in them; to me just the sweetened cheese with or without chocolate is best. (I couldn't tell for sure if you said the PizzaRizzo cannoli had fruit in it, but to me the one at Via Napoli looked like it had too many unneeded ingredients.) To me, good Italian food is often about getting good ingredients and not ruining them with too many additions.)

[@dozer11]

Maybe it’s the water in Florida, but the pizza in Disneyland and other Disney parks is a lot better.

[@XimenaSu1609]
