This post brought to you by FRESCHETTA®. All opinions are 100% mine.

Pizza is a staple meal in our home, we do frozen, takeout and even make it from scratch. So I was excited to have the opportunity to review the new FRESCHETTA® By the Slice and see if we could add it to our freezer on a regular basis. I like the idea of being able to microwave one slice of pizza at a time because with everyone coming and going we don’t all sit down to lunch together anymore. On the other hand, I was also a little wary because we all know how microwaved pizza usually turns out hee hee.

I was was pleased to see that they FRESHETTA By the Slice sold for under $2.00 at my local grocery store, that makes it a viable lunch option in my budget. I chose the Six Cheese Medley. The other varieties available are BBQ Recipe Chicken, Vegetable Medley, and Chicken, Spinach & Mushroom.

The pizza slice comes in its own microwaveable cooking tray. When cooking the pizza make sure you read all directions and look at the pictures carefully. The directions are VERY specific as to where to place the pizza in the microwave during each phase of cooking.

The truth is in the tasting soo…The cheese was delicious, though my 15yo thought it needed more cheese. The crust was very good not too crunchy and not too chewy…just right. The sauce was not my favorite, I am very picky about pizza sauce, but my son LOVED the sauce so, to each his own. Since my son loved it I will definitely be buying more so he can enjoy them for lunch.

FRESHETTA and I want you to try By the Slice for yourself so we are teaming up for a giveaway! the prize: A full value coupon so you can try FRESHETTA By the Slice for FREE and a six piece FRESHETTA storage set (see picture).

“I have always loved the beauty of a simple Neapolitan pizza,” Valenti says.  “It’s a perfect food, something beloved by both Italians and Americans. At Via Napoli we will make pizza the traditional Neapolitan way: with a textured, soft and charred crust. I look forward to bringing it to Walt Disney World, where it should be a welcome addition to guests visiting Epcot.”

The Grand Opening ceremonies were very festive and included speeches by Dan Cockerell, V.P. of Epcot and Nick Valenti, CEO of the Patina Restaurant Group. Mickey and Minnie even helped cut the ribbon, er… grape vine.

Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant are exquisitely detailed in traditional Italian style.

A unique feature at Via Napoli is the wood-burning ovens, which are named after the three active volcanoes in Italy – Mount Etna, Mount Vesuvius and Stromboli. Each oven is sculpted with the “face of the volcano” — reflecting the gods whose mythology surrounds each volcano’s history.

Our meal started with a glass of Mineral Water, sparkling or still and our choice of flavors of Acqua Fresca…I had strawberry and it was a thicker beverage than I expected but it was deliciously refreshing. For appetizers we had Fritto Misto which is an assortment of Italian delicacies including Arancini, Calamari Fritti, Melanzane and more. Next it was on to the pizzas! I love pizza and with out a doubt the best pizza crust I have ever eaten is a Via Napoli. We tried three of the pizzas and they were all amazing but my favorite hands down was the Quattro Formaggi (four cheese) Pizza. We also tried the Margherita Pizza (tomato, mozzarella and basil) which was Aaron’s favorite and the more classic Pepperoni Pizza. The pizzas come in 3 sizes Individual is $16, Large is $27 and 1/2 Meter to Share is $36-yes they are pricier than your local pizzeria but I promise you they are worth it!

For dessert we had Tiramisu, Zeppole di Caterina (ricotta cheese fritters served with whipped cream and chocolate sauce) and Gelato Frizzante (ice cream soda “Italian Style” made with San Pellegrino’s “Aranciata” and vanilla gelato). I am not a big coffee fan but those that are loved the Tiramisu. I enjoyed the Zeppole but my favorite dessert was the Gelato Frizzante.
I have been raving to everyone about Via Napoli and I can’t wait to go back and bring my entire family. Call now to make your ADRs for your next trip. If you are on the Disney Dining Plan Via Napoli uses Table service credits.
