Don’t get too excited; we don’t know too much yet, but MousePlanet has reported the following:
It appears that a new pizzeria will be coming to Epcot’s Italy pavilion. A construction permit has been filed for construction of the new pizzeria, naming the Patina Group as the owner/operator of the facility. Patina also owns and operates Tutto Italia.
This would be a welcome addition, as WDW has — shall we say — never been especially known for it’s pizza…

I hope it’s a really good thin crust, traditional Italian pizza…YUM!
i wonder where it would go?? an already in use buidling? OR a whole new building? there is SO much space not in use around Italy
If true this would definately be GREAT addition, even though i kinda like Pinocchio’s pizza 🙂
A quality pizza place in Epcot’s Italy would be most welcome indeed. I’m assuming this would be a counter service restaurant?
Ooo I hope it’s a specialty pizza shop! Prosciutto pizza is one of my favorite dishes.
A restaurant like this has been on the boards for years at Italy. If memory serves from some of the last models I saw at imagineering years ago, it will go in the rear right of the pavilion. Regardless, it would be great to have an expanded Italy pavilion.
This would be a GREAT addition to the Italy pavilion, which I have always thought was not utilized to its full potential.
This is very good news. If it is a Table Service, you can expect to book your ADR 180 in advance, in my opinion.
Yeah! My daughter had a really good flat bread pizza at The Contempo Cafe at The Contemporary Resort the other day–I can highly recommend this pizza!
I will see what I can find out when I am there next month and be sure to take some photos for you 🙂
It would be great if they can get a seal of approval from the certifying authority in Naples that they are making traditional Neapolitan pizza. Then there could be a good Epcot-style educational opportunity about the history and traditions of pizza making.
Not holding out hope since it’s being run by a restaurant group, but it’s nice to dream.
I agree with ErwinM. World Showcase is a place to experience food and culture that perhaps you haven’t before. Who hasn’t tried pizza? Naples is the only city in Italy where I ate pizza. If the Italian Pavilion is going to do pizza, make it authentic. A pizza stand in the middle of World Showcase would be like bringing back more McDonalds products into the Magic Kingdom.
We are vegetarian and need more choices while visiting WDW.
Would love to see some veggie wraps and larger salads (meatless).
Please please please let someone at Disney figure out wood fired pizza and buffalo mozzarella. It’s not rocket science–if anyone should be able to make a good, authentic pizza, it’s Disney.
Erwin, I was thinking the exact same thing! What a coup for Disney to do that.
Fingers crossed, all!
Also, in case you didn’t already see it, Progress City USA has a great piece about the potential pizza spot in Italy.
