Via Napoli Stole A Pizza My Heart
Missy RyanMarch 14, 2017Via Napoli is located in the Italy Pavilion of Epcot’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World. I like to say it is Disney’s best kept secret. Usually when I prepare to do dining reservations for clients I receive a typical list. Chef Mickey’s, Be Our Guest, Hollywood and Vine, Garden Grill and Ohana are all of the most common “popular” hot spots. It is very rare that anyone is beating down the door at 6 am 180 days out asking me to grab a Via Napoli reservation. However, I am here to tell you that you are missing out.Via Napoli is one of the newest World Showcase restaurants that opened in 2010. According to many, not just myself, it serves the best pizza pies at Walt Disney World!When you enter the restaurant you will notice that Disney has gone all out. The inside is beautiful. Adorned with wonderful details, lighting fixtures and impressive craftsmanship, you will feel as if you are in Italy itself. My favorite feature of the restaurant is the open-air cooking area, especially the three-ovens shaped like faces with wide open mouths. My family and I took some time to observe and watch the cooks prepare meals and create their pizza master pieces. We were in awe watching the process. The servers are all very friendly and as I filmed my live video they spoke to us about the meals. They answered questions, pointed out different dishes and even quizzed me.At the time of the meal it was my family of 6 out of 7. As we viewed the menu we noticed several options - appetizers, soups, main dishes and a variety of pizzas. The fun part is picking out how you would like the crust, what toppings and of course the size. My husband and I were worried the largest size would be too much for us to finish. The ages of our children who were present ranged from 2 to 11. We did not want to take a bunch of food back the resort or waste any for that matter.The pizza was a thin crust with half meat lovers and the other side was a four cheese. The pizza was incredible. Soft cheese, perfectly cooked, with an excellent flavorful crust, this pizza was amazing. Quicker than anyone could say Via Napoli, it was gone!I believe that Via Napoli is one of the best World Showcase restaurants, and a great value. It is a fun restaurant and lives up to high expectations. I highly recommend giving it a chance!If you are interested in knowing more about the dining and lodging in WDW please email me at missyr@wishesfamilytravel.comYou can also follow me on Facebook
