For those who are new to Disney parks, everything here has a backstory. Rides, shows, and, yes, even restaurants!
Recently, one of my good friends, Eric Chu, shared the backstory of Redd Rockett’s Pizza Port with us.
For those who haven’t been there, this counter-service restaurant is located in Tomorrowland at the Disneyland resort. Basically, you climb off of Space Mountain and there you are!
But do you know WHY there’s a pizza joint in the middle of the Milky Way? Let’s find out!
The History Behind Redd Rocket’s Pizza Port in Disneyland
“The only real problem with long-term space travel is that you can’t get a decent pizza.” — Dr. Tyrone Mantanio, INSA Sector 5
A-GREED! Can you imagine traveling through space without the ability to order pizza?! I know, right? ;-D And according to the always-creative Disney imagineers, solving the problem of finding must-have food in the cosmos became a goal for scientists!
Redd Rockett to the rescue! He set up a pizza port in the middle of the sector. His pizza, pasta, salads, and desserts were a galactic sensation. Soon, he expanded to an outpost on Earth.
Read the whole story here:
Now, we’re not suggesting that this will be the best pizza in the galaxy; however, it’ll fortify your space travelers, especially after multiple trips on Space Mountain. And if you go for the fusilli…well, that we can heartily recommend. ;-D

I think it’s fun that everything has stories, but I have to admit that I’ve skipped stories often to get to the ride/attraction/food faster. 🙂
Love it. I always take time to read and learn about Disneyland. I did not know this story. Thank you so much for providing this great story. Next time we eat there it will make it better imagining I am in space 🙂
