I had a pizza at the Wolfgang Puck Express (counter service) and it was DELICIOUS!! I haven't had Via Napoli yet, but since one is CS & one is TS, I'm doing both when we're there in 2 weeks.
Via Napoli: He had the Quattro Stagioni - eggplant, artichokes, prosciutto, mushrooms.
WPE: He had the Roasted Seasonal Vegetables - pesto and buffalo mozzarella.
His reviews:
Via Napoli - Crust was very thin and crunchy. The sauce was very good, but very light. The toppings were fabulous. They were the best part without a doubt. They all had tons of flavor and were very fresh.
WPE: Crust was a little thicker, a lot more sauce vs. Via Napoli. The roasted vegetables were fantastic and there were plenty of them.
So he loved them both but if he had to pick the *winner* - very slight edge to Via Napoli. The crust was what put it over the top for him. Both had fabulous toppings, but the crust at Via Napoli was thinner and crisper.
Just returned on Friday & had both Via Napoli & WPE pizzas while away.
4 of us each had a different pizza at Napoli & non of us loved them. All declared them "just ok" & actually talked about how WPE won the pizza war with us
Aside from which, I think if you are going to charge $16 for a 9" pie it better be worth it. For us, it wasn't.
