Pizza Planet

[StarlitNight05]

I just read that Pizza Port is slated to become Pizza Planet for Pixar Fest (which isn't far away). Similar to the retheme of Village Haus as the Red Rose Tavern. Anyone else hear anything about this?

That would be cool.

Although why does the article writer feel he has to begin with "the notoriously bad counter service restaurant Pizza Port..."

Come on. It's fine. Dare I say, the salads are actually fantastic as are some of the pasta dishes. My kids prefer that pizza over the crappy individual pizzas available elsewhere in the park.

I've always thought it should be Pizza Planet.

Other than the gluten free pizza they have, pizza port has always been pretty bad in my experience.

I hope it is true! And I also didn't agree with the negative slant of the article.

We have always enjoyed their chicken fusilli and Caesar salads, and their service has been similar to all the other QS restaurants we've been to. It is one of the only places we go to every visit.

I’ll be there at the end of April, and I will welcome the change. I miss Pizza Planet at the Studios, as Pizza Rizzo just isn’t the same.

This may seem silly since it's one of the places we most often eat at Disneyland, but I already thought it was supposed to be Pizza Planet.

I wonder if they are going to close it for awhile beforehand? We are there April 1-6 and we always eat there!

This was a missed opportunity that they should have fully developed YEARS AGO. Although I do appreciate the retro vibe in there now.

I hope they don't change the menu too much. The chicken fusilli is one of my favorite things to eat in the park.

We go there every trip. My daughter loves the allergy pizza and my other kids are happy with regular pizza and mac & cheese. I think it's fine for what it is. It's not gourmet (thank goodness, then my kids wouldn't eat it), it's regular kid-friendly pizza. The park needs to have a pizza place like that.

I still find this announcement somewhat fishy. Has any official Disney outlet confirmed this? So far, I've only seen this report from WDWNT posted around. I would've figured we would've had an official announcement by now, especially considering that the (re)opening would be a few weeks from now.

... It's not gourmet (thank goodness, then my kids wouldn't eat it), it's regular kid-friendly pizza...

This was true for us! Once oldest discovered that he liked pizza, we ate at Pizza Port regularly. The made to order whole pizza was our go-to meal for years -- comfortingly familiar, non-gourmet, with the fusilli on the side for anyone who was still hungry after the pizza disappeared.

My boys were just commenting on why it is not Pizza Port yesterday. I will get to share this info today. Thank you!

Red Rocket's is perfectly fine pizza. In fact, it's much batter than any pizza you can get in all of WDW, except for at the Italy pavilion in Epcot, a non-Disney run restaurant. I too thought it was odd that the writer of the article saw fit to trash it. I mean, sure it's nothing special, but for quick service pizza, it's pretty good.

I hope it’s true & that it brings in a full overhaul of the menu adding quality items like the Red Rose Tavern overhaul did. The food (pizza 3 times, pasta twice & salad once) has been awful every single time I’ve been to Pizza Port. It reminds me of the free lunch food at my school cafeteria growing up that everyone hated even as kids.

The Disney parks blog has officially announced the changeover to Pizza Planet: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2018/03/alien-pizza-planet-landing-soon-at-disneyland-park/

Sounds like it will run for the duration of Pixar Fest, but if its popular I wouldn't be surprised if it became permanent.

We always go to Pizza Port on every visit. Our family enjoys the pizza and the garlic bread sticks with the marinara sauce. We also enjoy the salads there as well. Not to mention, it is a great place to go to cool off when the weather is hot! Everyone has different likes and dislikes and we are hoping they keep the same food and maybe offer a few more choices as well

The pizza is controversial on different Disney boards. Some seem to like it and others so not. I find it ok. My kids love it and my wife hates it.

My kids just ate here yesterday. We got slices of pepperoni pizza JUST as they put out fresh ones and my husband and I were so jealous because it looked and smelled AMAZING. We ate later at Rancho del Zocalo, but my husband seriously said "go back in and get us a slice to share." I didn't do it, but I was tempted.

This change over must be super basic because they haven't done a thing in there yet and it is supposed to be done in 11 days?
