Pizza (Not Leaning) Coming To Italy
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Disney has announced that an authentic pizzeria is under construction and will be opening at the EPCOT Italy Pavilion in the Fall of this year. The new 300-seat restaurant will have traditional Florentine architecture, vaulted-ceilings and outside dining. It will feature authentic Italian dishes and pizza from wood-burning ovens. Taking it one step further toward authenticity, one of the special touches at the Epcot location will be the water imported from a source where the composition most resembles water used in Naples, Italy. It will be used to make the dough as authentic Italian as possible. I’ve been told that the water really makes a big difference. Even New York style pizza isn’t the same without New York water.
The family-style pizzeria will be a welcome addition. Hopefully the prices will be family-friendly. There hasn’t been a good pizza alternative since the restaurant in Future World closed. It’s now occupied by a character greeting area.
