Let's face it, Florida is not known for its great tasting pizza. In my experience, the opposite is usually the case. Now New York...we know pizza! Brooklyn style, New York style, Chicago style, Sicilian, I've had it all but I've never had an Italian brick oven pizza quite like the pizza served at Epcot's own Italian pizza shop, Via Napoli!

At this posh pizzeria located in the heart of Italy, (in Epcot that is) you will find beautiful architecture, real Italian servers and chefs, and most importantly, authentic and delicious food, including pizza! The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting. The interior is full of gorgeous Italian architecture and their wood fire brick ovens are a sight to see all by themselves!

(You can even watch the chefs prepare your pizza for you.)
With the Disney Deluxe Dining plan, we had the privilege to each have one appetizer, one pizza, and one dessert...just for lunch! It was nothing short of amazing. The Arancini appetizer was so cheesy and delicious that it literally melts in your mouth and the calamari was decadent as well. For lunch we ordered an assortment of pizzas and we were in awe at how big they were and how yummy they looked! My "Prosciutto E Melone" pizza was to die for and I have been craving it ever since.
The "Prosciutto E Melone" is a fantastic combination of prosciutto, melon, and several fresh Italian cheeses.
Via Napoli is also a great place to take the kids in Epcot. They would love to watch the pizza being made and they have a great selection of kid friendly Italian food that includes spaghetti and meatballs, calzones, and of course, pizza. With the Disney Deluxe Dining plan the children also get an appetizer (fruit cocktail or insalata verde), an entree, and a dessert.

So in closing, being the NY girl that I am...I KNOW pizza and trust me, Via Napoli is your "Disney Go-To Girl Approved" Go-To spot for pizza at Walt Disney World!

That looks amazing! I can't wait to try this out on our next trip. I am so picky about pizza, but this looks like it would pass the test!
Sounds so good! We have reservations there in a few weeks and can't wait to try it!
This sounds like a great place to eat & I love Italian! I'll be adding this to our list of places to eat when we go in December.
