VIA NAPOLI: Authentic Neapolitan Pizzeria at Epcot World Showcase

VIA NAPOLI: Executive Chef Charlie Restivo poses with Mickey Mouse and a special Mickey-shaped pizza Aug. 5, 2010 during the grand opening of the authentic Neapolitan pizzeria in the Italy pavilion at Epcot World Showcase. Via Napoli, operated by Patina Restaurant Group, features wood-burning ovens – and will use water from a source that most resembles the water in Naples, Italy, home of some of the world’s best pizza dough. The 300-seat pizzeria features a menu inspired by the famous pizzerias of southern Italy. The menu also features pastas, salads, sandwiches and Italian wines. (Gene Duncan, photographer)
