Oh rci you're such a good cruise line, if only sorrentos had better pizza....

[cruise maniac 15]

My cruise would be complete. Lol

[mgg42]

I agree. I had it a couple times on Liberty this week and was sorely disappointed. Basically pre-made pizza of similar quality to what you get out of your microwave at home.

 

Sad, but it's pretty much indicative of the food on RCI as a whole....

[Babyberger]

We though Sorento's on Freedom was actually very good, but on Oasis, well, not so much. My kids wouldn't even eat it :eek:

[FLHugh]

Ah, everyone knows it's the water that makes the NY Pizza soo goood! RCI just doesn't have tanks big enough to bring it along. :D

[sjcruiser]

I think its OK, considering, I'm sure no one is in the back throwing the dough up into the air. At least its a step up from the school pizza, and the frozen grocery pizza. I think its more in line with Little Caesar's!!!

 

And yes, the water in NY does make the pizza (crust) better, which really makes the pizza.

[cruise maniac 15]

carnival and princess have great pizza.

[NCMtnBoys]

Something must have changed big time, then, cuz when I was on Liberty in 2009 I thought Sorrento's pizza was some of the best I'd ever had, anywhere. Sorry to hear it may not be the same anymore.

Yes, it is true! I had AWESOME pizza on the Carnival Spirit last May (and I LOVED that I could have it for breakfast - made fresh from the guy from Italy ... It was the real thin Italian style - which I love almost as much as NYC style :D)

 

BUT I sure hope people are not deciding which cruise ship or cruise line to go on based on pizza!! ;) (Not saying I didn't love my Carnival Cruise because I DID!)

 

Just sayin' ...

[waldocruiser1]

I agree, with all the foods on the ship, and all trying to be fancy and better than normal restaurant food, the pizza on all the ships I have been on (Carnival and Disney) seams poor quality/flavor. I think it is the crust that lowers the quality.

 

You would think with all the nationalities on the ship/company, and all the money they spend on things, they could bake a pizza that is fresh, and great.

 

NY style, Chicago Style, California Style, real Italian,

 

Maybe it needs contracted to a retailer like, Papa Johns, Domino's, God Fathers, who ever, just better.

I agree. the pizza on rci is very bad. i would say our local little ceasars is better hands down compared to what we had on the monarch.

[toots13]

We are NYers, and while we don't consider the RC pizza to be equivalent we still find it pretty tasty.

[golf43]

I was on the Oasis last week and found the pizza to be tasty.

the pizza on the monarch was pretty rough for sure....Little Ceasar is much better! ......I didnt even bother on the Radiance. Ive found a local place that a guy from Brooklyn runs and the pizza doesnt get any better so its hard for me to eat it anywhere else........so many other tasty things on the ship to eat anyway.

[Merion_Mom]

The surprising thing that I have found is that room service pizza is much better, particularly the florentine.

But they can do so many things well, why can't they make pizza on a ship?

[Aquahound]

I have always loved the pizza, especially as a late night snack. mgg42 - Pre made? :confused: Of all my RCI cruises, they were always making it fresh right there. What ship was serving pre-made pizza?

[cruisenfever]

Basically pre-made pizza of similar quality to what you get out of your microwave at home.

On all the ships that we've been on, the pizza is made on the ship along with all the bread and rolls.

[bigeagle12]

Have to agree .. Princess has much better pizza .. maybe they will share their recipe :D

[mgg42]

Maybe pre-made isn't accurate. But it certainly tastes that way. It's kind of a soggy, bready dough. Like someone else said, I certainly don't see them behind the counter tossing and stretching the dough. I assume they have those pre-made rounds and just throw the toppings on it.

 

Basically, it's the same problem as just about every other food product on board. It's passable, but it could easily be so much better...

[cruisecrazymama]

We enjoyed the pizza on Oasis, Freedom, and Allure. Esp as a late night snack. Always saw them making it fresh too. But then, living in the plains, I've never had the opportunity to experience NY style pizza. If I had maybe........:rolleyes:

 

Now that said, I have to admit, as good as the pizza was on my last few RCI cruises, the one.....and only thing I loved on my last Carnival cruise was the pizza. It was excellent!

[linedancer]

It seems to really depend on each trip. I have had the pizza on Liberty and Oasis and it was good-to-very good. We travel on Navigator alot. I usually like their pizza on the Navigator, but one trip it was awful. I tried it twice that trip and just gave up. So you just never know.

I thought the pizza on Liberty tasted like cardboard.

[CruiseKeeper]

Have to agree .. Princess has much better pizza .. maybe they will share their recipe :D

 

Oh yeah, love Princess pizza. :D

[orville99]

What we liked on Radiance was that in the evenings in WJ, you could make your own pizza, load it up with whatever you wanted on it, and they'd bake it for you. :)

[shaggyofwv]

My cruise would be complete. Lol

 

 

I agree. It isn't much different than the "pizza" that you can get from room service on all the other RCI ships. It is a very bland tasting sauce mixed with blah tasting bread.
