Not to get all "Spelling police", but you misspelled Wild Mushroom flatbread.We prefer Mama Melrose. I don't know, our experience at Via just didn't live up to the hype. The pizza is not that great. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The Carne d'italia flatbread pizza at Mama Melrose's is fab!
We're going to give it another stab on our upcoming trip.
I suppose at the end of the day it all comes down to personal taste. I think you'll enjoy either choice!
Via for sure! The pizza is amazing and SO authentic!
Kwaschitz said:It depends on what type of Italian food you like. Via Napoli has (to my palate) a more authentic "Italy" taste (Mediterranean flavors, not as heavy), whereas Mama Melrose is more "Italian-American" like a lot of the family-owned places in the NY/NJ area (heavier sauces/cheese, less of the "crisp" flavors of VN).
That said, I like them both but you can't go into either expecting a similar experience.
Mama Melrose = The worst meal we've ever had at Disney. I think they just dump a pound of salt in everything and try to pass it off as italian food
Via Napoli = One of the best meals we've had. The pizza is delicious and the Arancini appetizer is delicious.
You should be just fine there because I think salt is the main ingredient for everything at MMExtra salt is actually a perk for us. DH has a condition that is remedied by a high salt intake.
I really do want to try Via Napoli, I just don't think it will fit into our trip this year. We're only doing 4 days in the parks (AFS tickets) and I doubt we'll spend more than a half day at Epcot. It's good to know that everyone seems to love it though. That will make the decision easier when I actually make it there.
