Fun Finds: Flatbread of the Month and Mine Train Mug at Magic Kingdom’s Pinocchio Village Haus

By AJ and the DFB Team 2 Comments

Heigh Ho from Pinocchio Village Haus in Fantasyland! This Magic Kingdom Counter Service spot features an Italian menu served up in Old World German architecture. (You can read a little more about the story behind the setting here.)

Pinocchio Village Haus

The primary focus on the menu is an assortment of Flatbreads with traditional topping options like Pepperoni, Sausage, and Caprese. But the featured Flatbread of the Month has brought some unexpected hits like November’s Thanksgiving Flatbread and last month’s ridiculously yummy Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Flatbread. So we wanted to let you in on September’s Featured Flatbread: it’s Scrambled Egg Flatbread! [Read more…]

Limited Time Only! Ahhh-mazing Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Flatbread at Magic Kingdom’s Pinocchio Village Haus!

By AJ 6 Comments

Disney food friends, this is an urgent message — an urgent PIZZA message for those visiting Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom between now and September 5! You must make your way to Pinocchio Village Haus for a truly awesome flatbread that a cast member tells me will only be available until next week!

Pinocchio Village Haus

The Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Flatbread is the flatbread of the month at Pinnochio Village Haus. It starts with a crispy flatbread crust and is topped with sour cream, macaroni and cheese, three cheese blend, chives, and crumbled bacon bits!

Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Flatbread

This is a seriously delicious — and seriously filling — flatbread that combines some of my favorite things! The sour cream is an inspired choice of “sauce” that gives the whole thing a tangy, addictive quality (as if the three cheese blend and bacon weren’t irresistible enough!). But even if you’re not a huge Sour Cream fan, the whole thing blends together so well that it won’t stand out to you.

Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Flatbread

The macaroni and cheese is made with soft elbow noodles that contrast with the crispy crust (baked to golden brown!) and the chewy bacon bits.

Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Flatbread

The whole thing is basically a savory delight, complete with the bright green chives which provide a welcome, fresh respite from the intensely (ahhh-mazingly) salty, cheesy flatbread.

Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Flatbread

This one is SO. GOOD.! I’m bummed that this seasonal flatbread will be gone on September 5 because it’s something I would totally get again and again if it was a permanent part of the menu. Here’s hoping it’s popular enough to become a recurring special addition!
