joeyancho Posted August 13, 2017 #151 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Princess pizza is a traditional, new York style, thin crust. Very good. Carnival is similar to the new trendy style pizza made at places like Pieology. Also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival should sue them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towel Critter Posted August 13, 2017 #154 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I've had both Princess and Carnival's new style pizza and I agree with you completely.I was looking at a rating of cruise line pizza yesterday and Princess came in at #1. If I remember correctly, Silversea and Disney each claimed one of the spots at #2 and #3. Carnival claimed the #4 spot... pretty impressive... ahead of MSC, an Italian line, who didn't make the top 5. Of course, how they determined the rankings wasn't mentioned. I'm not sure how anyone could possibly do a side by side comparison. Prolly meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival is similar to the new trendy style pizza made at places like Pieology. Also good. Since Neapolitan pizza pre-dates NY pizza, and is where pizza originated, it is the Carnival pizza that is traditional and original, not the Princess pizza. There is nothing trendy about Neapolitan pizza - it has stood the test of time much longer than NY style. I think we're just seeing an increased appreciation for original, traditional Italian pizza - and while Carnival food is generally substandard, they get the Steakhouse and pizza right.

1stimecruiser Posted August 13, 2017 #157 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Very thin and soft where the cheese is, crispy around the edges. I compare it to a cracker. It's super yummy and I can't wait to have more. Is it the best in the world? Nope. Is it good? Yep. Best part is I can get it 24 hours a day with no extra money out of my pocket. I am a Chicago style pizza girl through and through since I'm originally from the Midwest, but for thin crust, it's delish.

1stimecruiser Posted August 13, 2017 #159 Share Posted August 13, 2017 It is easy to try a home version of Carnival's pizza before you cruise. Go to you local supermarket; buy the cheapest frozen pizza available. Take it home. Open the package and discard the pizza. Eat the box. lol... always good to share a little humor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're just seeing an increased appreciation for original, traditional Italian pizza - and while Carnival food is generally substandard, they get the Steakhouse and pizza right. Agree on both. Carnival Steakhouse is worth every penny. Wish they had an age limit of at least six years old, and I know I will get flamed. One evening with wild toddlers, which no one makes an attempt to corral, or crying baby ruins a special moment for old and young romantics and good friends. Pizza on Carnival is the best. And I have been on Princess enough to be Platinum. I love Princess. But their Pizza, imho, is NOT number one. I do like their hard taco shells and goodies to make them on their lunch buffet. NO ONE has mentioned the melt in your mouth chocolate cookies which fly away from the LIDO buffet. Best cookies ever. Carnival. MY husband and I always sneak up there and eat them. Often they are lunch. With a plate of the cubed fruit and cheese that I love too. Who is getting Hungary? ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberTeka Posted August 13, 2017 #161 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Who ever starts these interesting and funny threads...... Cappuccino Pie? I still mourn it not being there.............

Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted April 25, 2018 #174 Share Posted April 25, 2018 When I was deciding on our upcoming cruise, I had it narrowed down to two bookings - one on Carnival's Magic and the other on RCCL's brand new (and massive) Harmony. I asked my family which they wanted, thinking my 19yo son would definitely pick Harmony, considering the activities on the ship. I was shocked when he said Carnival. When I asked him why, he said it was because the pizza was so much better on Carnival! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sailed on MSC, an Italian line, a few years ago and I thought their pizza would be great. It was okay, but Carnival's is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
