Muppet fans still mourning the loss of the troupe’s ABC sitcom can lift their heads up today as the Disney Parks Blog has confirmed that a new restaurant named PizzeRizzo is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Taking over the former Toy Story Pizza Planet location, Rizzo the rat will serve pizza and drinks at this new joint in an effort to prove Remy isn’t the only rat who knows a thing or two about cooking. At this time, Rizzo has yet to set a grand opening date.
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.
So are you excited for this new theming? Or do you prefer toys to puppets?
