Tips on the best pizza in the parks?- besides EPCOT. We love GOOD pizza and I know where to find it at EPCOT but haven’t had much luck elsewhere. Thanks in advance!!
There’s a reason you haven’t found it in any other parks, it doesn’t exist. Disney just can’t seem to do pizza right. Even on their cruise ships which have delicious food otherwise.... Thankfully Via Napoli is not run by Disney!
We really enjoy Blaze, which can also be found across the U.S. I like it infinitely better than Mod Pizza or Pizza Press if you're familiar with those. It's pretty cheap and everyone can customize it to their liking. We thought Via Napoli was just okay if that helps, and I would go to Blaze (even though I have it where I'm from) before I went back to Via Napoli.
The flatbread pizza at Pinnochio’s is usually very good. As with all quick service there’s always the chance you get one that’s not fresh and not very good.
We thought the pizza at Pizzafari at AK was pretty good when we did the special dinner thing they have there now (you make a reservation and get pizza, salad, pasta, etc).
This is probably weird, but the pizza at the MCO food court was some of the best pizza I have ever had! I don’t know if it’s because I was overly hungry and tired, but it was seriously delicious!
I was a little disappointed in Via Napoli this last trip. The pizza was very tasty, but super thin and very greasy. It was so floppy I had to eat it with a knife and fork to keep from making a complete mess.
I tried the breakfast pizza at Wilderness Lodge a few weeks ago and could not believe how good it was. It was a flatbread tho but it sure was good. I think it had sausage & eggs with a little bit of gravy topping and cheese.
I know it sounds strange...
I think they are getting better with the flatbread concept or maybe I was really hungry. I’ll definitely order it again.

The pizza at most (all?) in-park quick service locations will be exactly the same - same stuff from the same supplier. Its frozen and heated en masse, usually with a pool of grease on the top. I don't think its the worst pizza in the world, but its below Dominos or Little Caesars in terms of taste and quality. Flatbreads are different, but I'm referring to the "traditional" kind of pizza.
The only in-park pizza I can think of that is separate and different from that is Via Napoli, which is table service. PPs have mentioned some good options outside of the parks that are unique and good as well.
I am from the NY/NJ area and have had really good pizza. You will not find it at Disney. The Best we have found is Upper Crust in Celebration. If you are staying in the "bubble" , The Boardwalk has a new owner and is doing ok pizza at the pizza window and Ok pizza at Port Orleans riverside.

Apparently this happens if you put too many toppings on it. Also, i've notice this also happens with the large/mezzo size pizza's. But I've always ordered the personal size and never had any problems. Always been delish.
I haven’t had pizza at WDW since I was a kid and I definitely wasn’t that big of a fan except for a random buffalo chicken pizza at Typhoon Lagoon. The pizza still looks the same so I’m assuming what they served hasn’t really changed so there are definitely better options out there. The contemporary QS tends to have interesting flatbread options if you want to give it a try.
I would skip Blaze too since it’s always super packed and while I’ve only had it outside of Florida and not at the Disney Springs location, it was nothing to write home about.

I generally agree. Pizza in the parks is terrible. You can get some decent pizza at some resorts, but it's nothing special. Over in Disneyland they have much better in-park pizza, but it's still not usually all that amazing unless it is a seasonal special which can be hit or miss. WDW just hasn't cracked pizza!
