Pizza

[cornflkgrl]

Okay, so my husband is from Philly where they have really good pizza (so he says). He is a pizza fanatic and unfortunately we only have a couple usual crummy chains (pizza hut, dominos, etc.) where we live now and he is dying for some really good "new york style" pizza. Is there anything like that on Disney property or somewhere within reasonable driving distance in Orlando????

Just outside of Disney Property still in Lake Buena Vista (near Comfort Inn) there is a "CI-CI's Pizza". It is a place that serves thin crust pizza-all you can eat for $3.99 per person. It was really pretty good. Lots better than Domino's or Pizza Hut.

DW and I are both from Philly. When at Disney, we like Flipper's Pizza at Old Town. Just a short drive from Disney on 192 East of I-4.

I'm gonna assume this is a legitimate question...

When you're in a particular forum, at the top under "User CP" there is a box that says "New Thread". Click on it and post away!

I asked a similar question and from the replies that I got, you ain't gonna find it at WDW. I can't recommend a place either. Sorry.

Thanks so much for the tip. We will look into that one. It sounds like what we are after. He is so used to going to hometown-type family owned pizzarias and we live in a town with nothing but franchises.

Anyone know of a place that will deliver NY style pizza to WDW resorts?

 

[cornflkgrl]

I heard some good things about NYPD. Voted best pizza in Orlando. Anybody tried that before?

Do they also have NY-style pizza? Because, trust me, if the OPs DH is really looking forward to NY-style, she does NOT want to present him with a Chicago-style pizza. They're both great, but are totally different.

On another note, I'm with the other poster who asked about good NY-style pizza available for delivery to the resorts. We'll be at Pop for our next trip and I am **so** not ordering their delivered pizza again so long as I live. It's very difficult to make a pizza so bad that I don't at least like it, but they managed. We'll be arriving late, so I'd love to order a good pizza and unpack......

lol ive deffinate ly done that before(pizza and unpacking) i may be 13 but this is like the best pizza ever . its italian pizza. (arnt all pizzas italian...lol oh well)

Actually, most American pizza isn't Italian - or even considered pizza by real Italian pizza chefs. We usually add ingredients that aren't 'allowed' if a dish is to actually be called pizza. That's an argument for the chefs, though. I'll keep calling mine pizza.

NY pizza is the flat kind - tomato sauce, mozzarella, flat crust. Chicago pizza is the deep-dish kind. I love both (along with the real Italian pizzas and what we call California-foofy pizzas, lol) but they are so not the same thing and if her DH has a jones for one, the other won't do......

Me, I've copied down the name so I can check it out next time I'm in Orlando and want a good deep-dish.

We are originally from N.J. and I can relate to your DH wanting a "New York Style Pizza".
It took us about 6 years before we found a place out here in Colorado that makes a great pizza. We will be at the World in June and hope to find a good pizza in the area also. Good luck to your DH. Sounds like he has good taste.

I looked up Giordano's on Google's Local search and there were some reviews on it, and it's definitely Chicago style. I wonder if they deliver to the resorts...hmmmmmm!

Oooooh. Possibly BOTH pizzas AND delivery to WDW resorts! Found this in an online (http://www.mytravelguide.com/restau...do_Giordanos_Italian_Restaurant_Pizzeria.html) description of the place:

When you're in the mood for great Italian food at affordable prices, Giordano's is the place. Located on easy-to-find Apopka-Vineland road and convenient to numerous hotels and apartment complexes in the Lake Buena Vista area, Giordano's is a no-nonsense pizzeria with a pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and a heady mix of stuffed pizza, thin crust pizza, pasta, sandwiches and salads. Beer, wine and cocktails round out the menu, and carry-out and delivery are available to accommodate the theme park crowds.

:

You are very right. Husband loves NY style pizza that is hard to find outside of northeast apparently. No Deep Dish for him!

Pizzeria Uno in the Crossroads has Chicago Deep Dish pizza.
