🍕 Top Pizza Picks Near the Parks
Via Napoli (EPCOT, Disney World)
Regarded as one of the best in-park pizza options, Via Napoli uses a wood-fired oven and authentic ingredients. It’s a go-to for many Disney veterans.
Blaze Fast-Fired Pizza (Disney Springs)
A fast-casual choice with customizable pies and rapid service. It’s especially useful when you want pizza outside the parks but still part of your Disney day.
Red Oven Pizza Bakery (Universal Orlando / CityWalk)
A standout at Universal, Red Oven prepares made-to-order pies in a 900° stone-lined oven. Great quality for theme park pizza.
Luigi’s Pizza (Universal Studios Florida)
Located in Springfield within Universal, Luigi’s offers fresh individual pizzas — ideal for a casual park lunch.
Giordano’s (Near Universal / Lake Buena Vista)
For deep dish lovers, Giordano’s in the Universal / Orlando area brings that Chicago-style stuffed pizza experience.
Flippers Pizzeria (O-Town West, Southwest Orlando corridor)
A local favorite for handcrafted brick-oven pies, Flippers is located conveniently near Lake Buena Vista and resort corridors.
Pizza Xtreme (Universal area / Orlando delivery)
Not always inside theme parks, but Pizza Xtreme serves the area and delivers to many Universal hotels.
📝 Tips for Choosing & Slicing Smart
- Match your style: Thin-crust, deep dish, or wood-fired — pick what your group enjoys.
- Check delivery/take-out: Many of these places deliver to hotels or partner with delivery apps.
- Avoid peak lunch or dinner rushes in the parks — head out 30 minutes before or after.
- Share large pies — many come in sizes perfect for 3–4 people.
- Try local crust styles — Giordano’s deep dish is very different from theme-park thin crust.
