Pizzeria opening at Epcot's Italy Pavilion

From the official Disney Parks Blog...

Great news – especially if you share my passion for amazing pizza. An authentic pizzeria will be opening at Italy Pavilion at Epcot later this year and it’s an attention-grabber.

The new 300-seat restaurant will have traditional Florentine architecture, vaulted-ceilings and outside dining. And the food will be authentic — Italian dishes (complimenting the offerings at Tutto Italia ) and pizza from wood-burning ovens.

The pizzeria will be the newest flagship restaurant in the Patina Restaurant Group’s portfolio. And one of the special touches at the Epcot location will be the water. It’ll be imported from a source where the composition most resembles water used in Naples, Italy, to make the authentic Italian dough.

A name for the family-style pizzeria has not been finalized but we wanted to share this information with you first on the Disney Parks Blog. Construction is currently underway and the restaurant is scheduled to open in fall 2010. Check back for more updates.

    Epcot - Living Up to Walt's Original Dream?

    The D23 website takes a look at current Epcot and how close it comes to Walt's original dream for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. And excerpt...

    How does Epcot live up to Walt's original dream? Is it educational and enlightening or is it fun and thrilling? And why does Epcot raises all these questions and more, while other Disney Theme Parks may not? Maybe it's due in part to Danny Kaye. But before we go there, however, let's go back to 1966 when Walt Disney appeared in a presentation for potential investors about his Florida "Disney World Project."
