PizzeRizzo is Great if You Love Mediocre Cafeteria Pizza!

There are a lot of great restaurants at Disney World. This is not one of them.

Yeah I said it indirectly: PizzeRizzo is terrible. It’s not great. If I had kids and fed them this, I’d be afraid of being charged with child neglect. Some argue this place is great if your child is hangry and you just need to feed them something. But honestly, anything else you feed your child would be better than this.

Disney's Hollywood Studios added a new evening holiday party in 2023 - Jollywood Nights. Featuring shows, music, and food aligned with the holiday season, it's described as "Hollywood glamour meets holiday cheer." The media event introducing the initiative to press was held inside PizzeRizzo, a restaurant located in the Grand Avenue section of the park. Temporary stickers were placed over the Muppets-inspired branding on the restaurant's trash cans to further brand the media event - similar to the announcement for Runaway Railway. It was limited time trash! (You can still see the phrase "Don't fuggedaboutit. Toss your trash!" underneath.) This temporary design featured a dark blue background, accented with a gold border and stars. Logo lock-up followed the style of the current "Hollywood Studios" design, though notably went singular on the "Disney" vs. "Disney's" - absolutely dislike this recent trend. Also, this specific green trash can could really use some TLC! // Walt Disney World, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Grand Avenue, PizzeRizzo, 2023 [Source: LaughingPlace.com. Used by Permission.]

Outside of PizzeRizzo at Disney's Hollywood Studios, you can find the restaurant advertising itself as "The best pizza on the planet". This is a neat nod to the restaurant that used to occupy this space until 2016: Pizza Planet!

Miss Piggy Statue and PizzeRizzo

[magicaltrash]

Recently, NBA player Robin Lopez asked on Twitter: "Was there ever a unique MuppetVision trash can at WDW?" To my knowledge, the answer to that question is currently "no" - though they may have existed in the past. The only Muppet-specific trash cans I'm familiar with - other than Gonzo's paper cup exhibit - can be found at PizzeRizzo at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Opened in 2016, this pizza restaurant is located near Muppet*Vision 3D, replacing the Toy Story Pizza Planet Arcade as part of the placemaking project to create Muppets Courtyard. Official opening materials provided the following description:

"While enjoying personal-sized pies, guests will find décor inspired by Rizzo, as well as his extended family and friends who have visited PizzeRizzo over the years throughout the two-story eatery. Be sure to head upstairs to Rizzo’s Deluxe Supreme Banquet Hall, where there’s a wedding reception already in progress; join the party and show off your best moves under the disco ball to the world’s greatest party playlist!"

Inside, you'll find these green trash cans with a variety of messaging. It's the closest we have to Muppet-specific garbage cans at a Disney theme park. // Walt Disney World, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Muppets Courtyard, 2016-18 [Sources: WanderDisney, WebigaleQuacked, SongofFrogs.

Inside of PizzeRizzo at Disney's Hollywood Studios, you can find a WD subway sign. This sign used to be found on The Streets of America, before its closure in 2016!
