Ciao and Happy New Year, Derek!
It’s always wonderful to see you here at planDisney. Thanks for stopping by with your question!
One of my favorite topics to discuss is food, specifically Disney food; after all, I like to think calories don't count at
Walt Disney World Resort! I am elated that you mentioned both of my favorite spots to eat at while I’m vacationing at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Although currently, pepperoni pizza is not on the
menu during the phased reopening at
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria, you are welcome to inquire with the Cast Member who is serving you and they can try to accommodate your request. Substitutions are always at the discretion of the restaurant and in my experience, Cast Members at Walt Disney World Resort go above and beyond to try and make magic happen for Guests. While we were there in November, my best friend was able to order a pepperoni pizza, which she raves is one of the best she’s ever had. If the restaurant has pepperoni available, they will most certainly be able to accommodate your request. My kiddos are extremely picky eaters, but they love the Margherita Pizza at Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria! If you’re wondering what to grab for an appetizer, might I suggest the Calamari Fritti? It’s served with a spicy tomato sauce and just thinking about it has me gesturing the chef’s kiss expression!
Nothing beats the scrumptious treats at
Beaches and Cream Soda Shop. It has a very nostalgic boardwalk-style charm with mouth-watering shakes. This is exactly the spot where you can get the Instagram-able milkshakes served in a classic mason-jar (don’t worry, it’s plastic) souvenir cup with a delectable cupcake on top! I have tried the Confetti Vanilla Shake which comes with a “funfetti” cupcake and rainbow sprinkles galore and have been dreaming about it since! It is as delicious as it looks. Since it’s so rich, we usually get a
savory dish along with our treat. The burgers there are fantastic, but if you’re only going for the sweet treat, you might want to opt for a side of French Fries! Nothing beats the combination of perfectly salty and sweet treats!
Derek, I can’t wait for you to experience my two favorite eateries at Walt Disney World Resort! Because these restaurants are highly-sought after, I would encourage you to make
Advanced Dining Reservations for them. If you have any more questions about your magical vacation, we’re all
ears!
Have an enchanting time!
