This is very interesting!
Today, I took some photos of the new pizzeria (it’s only scaffolding now) that you can see here: http://orlandoparksnews.blogspot.com/2010/01/epcot-update.html

I was wondering if this would also include a much needed attraction in the Italian pavilion, that is one of the smallest!

Thanks for the post!

I hope they don’t try to pass pizza off as an Italian dish; real Italian pizza is really bland and boring. Pizza is really an American dish, created by Italian immigrants here, of course, but still uniquely American and without peer from other Italian areas (such as Uruguay and Argentina, though those were mostly northern Italians and the U.S. received mostly southern Italians). Pizza is so American it should have really been sold at the Liberty Inn all along.

By the way, the world’s best pizza is found nowhere other than the colonial revolutionary city of New Haven, Connecticut.

Thanks for the tidbits. it’s nice to see a continuing increase in the amount of dining available, and interesting to note that these expansions both would seem to add more counter service, even if the Italy one has table service as part of it it would likely have counter service too wouldn’t it? and counter service is easier to scale up during those peak times when there is not enough seating available even 9if you added all the seats min the park together as one total, Epcot already has more table service than any of the other parks, so this would seem to make these logical places to improve, besides that food service technology improves over time and older facilities tend to need renovations or replacements at regular intervals in the world outside the Disney theme parks, so it would make sense that the same would be true within them.
