Disney4me Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Epic Universe officially opens to the public on May 22nd, but after several early visits to Universal Orlando’s new theme park through a special tour, as well as through Universal Orlando Annual Passholder previews, we’re quickly becoming acquainted with all the food this park has to offer. Pizza Moon We’ve been on a mission to eat EVERYTHING (and we do mean everything) in the new theme park. Now we’ve previously visited Pizza Moon in Celestial Park (you can read our full review here), but we decided to revisit this pizza joint to try even MORE items on the menu. So let’s go! First up, we’ve been seeing a lot of internet chatter about Pizza Moon’s Pizza Lunare due to its ube crust. So obviously, we had to try it out. For $18.99, you get a pizza with roasted garlic béchamel, fromage de lune, ricotta, pancetta, and garlic confit on ube pizza crust. Yep, this baby is UNIQUE. It’s even served with some fanfare, and we were told something like we’d been blessed by the universe. Okay, there’s some hype…but does the pizza deserve it? Pizza Lunare So, first, it’s cute, but the ricotta is VERY forward, and if you don’t like ricotta (and a lot of folks don’t), you’re probably not going to like this pizza. The other flavors are mild, and the ube turns out to not be that big of a deal. The crust is bready and not a thin New York-style crust. Overall, we liked it, but again, that ricotta could turn a lot of people off. But it really does fit the vibe of the restaurant. Ube crust The next pizza took us on a trip, as in it’s called A Trip To Vesuvio. This pizza is made with Fromage de lune, pepperoni, fennel sausage, roasted peppers, caramelized onions, cherry peppers, Calabrian chili, arugula, and hot honey for $18.99. Yep, this one is a spicy little number. This pizza is LOADED with toppings, including a lot of arugula…but if you don’t like arugula, you can just pull it off. Note that if you mobile order, you can’t customize your pizza, but you can if you visit the counter instead. A Trip To Vesuvio This pizza was SO nice. It’s spicy, sure, but there’s a lot of flavor here, more so than heat. We will admit that it was a little veggie-heavy for us, but that’s a personal opinion. Your veggie-hating kids are going to turn their noses up at it. However, this is one of our favorite things we’ve had at Epic Universe so far, so that’s saying a lot! Loads of flavor So Pizza Moon is a lot of fun, and you can get some unique pizzas that fit in with the restaurant’s celestial theme. Overall, we’ll probably be here again during our many visits to Epic Universe.
