AlaskaNewbie68 Posted June 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2019 So, hubby and I loved the Promenade pizza on Adventure earlier this month. Reminded us of what we call "bar pies" here in Jersey. We have now booked Allure in January. Do they have the same pizza? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type of pizza vary (even on the same day). We sat next to a couple who complained "how can they not offer sausage pizza???? and who would put grilled chicken on a pizza???" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnsnkr Posted June 28, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I take my pizza seriously as well but I just haven't found one serious enough on a cruise ship; the closest was the distant-second flat bread on The Lawn Club Grille, compared to a decent pizza joint landside. Sorrento's on Liberty OTS in 2016 was just horrible. We're going try it again on our upcoming trip. Maybe it's improved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you sailed Princess? They have excellent pizza. Personally I am not fan of the pizza on Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we sailed an Alaska itinerary way back in 2005. And yes, Princess Pizza stood out and we still talk about it. That said, our palate has evolved over time.

irishgal432 Posted June 28, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I met the food and beverage vp on the Presidents cruise and he told me they are implementing new recipes and pizza ovens on the ships. He said that was the number 1 complaint they get on their food surveys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not "the world's best pizza" or anything, but it's not "frozen Totino's" quality anymore, by any means! They also have ranch and garlic dipping sauces available now. Very tasty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always amazed that they were actually made fresh.... they could have done much better by using a frozen product! (When you prefer a Little Caesar's hot-n-ready pizza over what they have at Sorrento's, then the cruise line has a big problem!) I had heard rumors about it having been improved, and was very pleased to confirm those when I was on Symphony in March. It was actually worth eating, not just as a way to soak up booze at 3am!!!

Snit13 Posted June 28, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Tried pizza at Sorrentos on Oasis and it was about as tasty as a piece of cardboard with ketchup. Glad to hear they have improved the quality. Used to love the pizza on Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbackIslandGirl Posted June 28, 2019 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Does anyone know if they have improved the pizza on Harmony? Are the changes fleet wide or is this something they are doing during dry-dock? The oven drastically makes or breaks the pizza! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's improved even more that's great. And happy about the dipping sauces. Sometimes you just want a little zip with your za. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be very surprised. 4th time on Liberty back in Nov 2018. I can confirm the pizza is 1000% better.

From what I understand, it's being rolled out gradually to the fleet, not something that requires a dry dock. Basically, it's a different recipe with better (i.e. fresher) ingredients. I don't think there is a list online that you'll find as to which ships have it but when you stop by Sorrento's, there will be a sign touting the new recipe. I would think that Harmony - being one of the newer, top-of-the-line ships - would have the better pizza. I'm sure some recent Harmony cruisers can confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was rolled out in the Presidents cruise. The vP had some delivered to our room one evening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted June 28, 2019 #22 Share Posted June 28, 2019 We were on the Allure and the pizza was very good. Last time, before that, we were on the Allure in 2015 and it was almost inedible. We tried it a second time and no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted June 28, 2019 #23 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Agree, it's now a big Improvement over what was couple yrs ago. Crust flavor is good, actually has flavor Edited June 28, 2019 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
