Is there good Pizza ANYWHERE in WDW, other than Via Napoli? I've never found it. And I love a good "cheap" pizza.

Blaze would be a decent cheap pizza but it’s a chain.

Blaze is pretty good, though a bit of a chain

Via Napoli is ok, though I think a bit overpriced (we have similar near where I live for cheaper)

Yeah I'm not really a fan of Blaze. All of those create your own "Subway" style pizza joints taste the same to me.

It’s Disney priced.
It’s cheaper for our family to eat pizzas (we get a 1/2 meter and a large) at Via Napoli than eat burgers at the Plaza, so it’s a good TS value compared to other Disney TS options.

Plus, in my area, while I’ve tried several local wood fired pizzas, I still haven’t found one better than Via Napoli.

maybe we just didn't do Via Nappoli the right way but when the bill came my reaction was "wow, that added up and was pretty pricey" much more than at other meals at WDW

The pizza at Picabu in the Dolphin is pretty good. Don't see it being anybody's favorite.

Also Trattoria Al Forno on the Boardwalk has great pizza (and meatballs and salads and deserts), which is funny since the terrible pizza place is right next to it. It's also not really a pizza place though, just an Italian restaurant that has some pizza.

Yea for DS Blaze is at least somewhat affordable and pretty tasty, and a great spot to sit on the Springs. We like it.

We were pleasantly surprised by the pizza at Splitsville in DS.

Yep wasn't bad either.

Sad they enclosed that upper deck though, or at least can't "open" the upper deck anymore.

Not soon enough...

I know he said he has a trip out west for part of October which is why fewer dates that much

I'll be there August 30th, so hopefully will have time to stop by and say hi and (probably) buy the festival art

And Disney calls it Lago Dorado on all maps, etc. for Coronado. It's just weird they used Lake in the article at all.

Yup.....
Modern Interpretive Journalism at work.

Appetizers/sides/desserts/alcohol could add up quickly.
We mostly just do pizzas and soda (they bring out “free” bread to start, anyway) and it’s ~$18 person before tip

I guess it looks better in person. From the picture, I was trying to figure out which was uglier, his print or his shirt.

This! We loved it, and make a point of eating it every trip. We grab a table on the patio and listen to the music.
