Via Napoli Construction
Via Napoli is currently under construction in the Italy Pavilion of Epcot. The new 300 seat restaurant is located in located next to the Tutto Italia Ristorante in the back of the Pavilion. The addition of the Via Napoli actually expands the boundaries of the Pavilion, so no current feature had to be removed to make room for it.
The front facade looks quite like the artist's rendering that had been presented early on for this authentic pizzaria.
Reservations Starting on August 6th
Beginning on August 6th you can call to make reservations for September 10th and later. The restaurant will have a "Grand Opening" celebration on August 5th, but will operate in a "soft" opening mode prior to the official opening on September 10th. It will only accept walk-ins during that time.
More Via Napoli Details Released
Details continue to emerge about Via Napoli. We have previously heard about the menu, the authentic Italian ingredients, and the special water that will make the crust just like they make in Naples.
Disney has recently announced the following details:
The restaurant will be considered a Table Service Restaurant and will participate in the Disney Dining Plan as a 1 Table Service Credit per person restaurant.
There will be only one menu that will be used during lunch and dinnner with an average check around $23.

The Wait Is Almost Over
We are less than 1 month away from the opening of Via Napoli! August 5th will be here before we know it. This restaurant will be a great addition to the fine line up of Epcot Dining Choices.
An average check of $23.00. WOW. That's sounds great. Our average family spends that much on pizza at home.
Unfortunately, I believe that it is intended to be an average of $23 per person.
