It was rumored and has now been confirmed that Pizza Planet will not be returning to its original location in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. No, opening this fall will be a Muppets-themed restaurant known as PizzeRizzo.
Rizzo the Rat and some of his friends will own and operate a pizzeria in Muppets Courtyard when PizzeRizzo opens this fall. An exact opening date has not yet been revealed.
Per the Disney Parks Blog:
“Pizza lovers, rejoice! PizzeRizzo will open this fall in Muppets Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, in the former Toy Story Pizza Planet location. Rizzo The Rat owns and operates the pizzeria, where guests can grab a pizza pie and a cold drink. Enjoy a casual Italian-American dining experience in a whole new way, through the eyes of the lovable, wisecracking Muppet.
Walt Disney Imagineering hid hints of Rizzo, his extended family and friends who have visited PizzeRizzo over the years throughout the two-story quick-service location. In addition to the expansive indoor and outdoor seating area, guests will be able to dine in a ‘cheesy’ banquet room, or take five in a special booth designated just for Rizzo’s celebrity friends.”
There is still no word on whether Pizza Planet will return to the Toy Story Land section of the park which is to open years down the line.
