How's the Pizza on Apex?

[AF-1]

I am looking to cruise with Celebrity in the future.  I have only been on Royal Caribbean, NCL, and Princess.  I have tried the pizza on these lines so am curious about the Apex or Edge.  Thanks for your answers

[vermonter16]

Well, I have had it on the Edge before - not recently, but I can tell you it is pretty darn good.  I say I will not go on a cruise and eat pizza, and I wind up eating the pizza.

The pizza on Apex is very good. It’s all the way at the aft of the buffet area, they also make fresh calzones.    They will make you a custom pie in a to go pizza box if requested.

Was on Apex last month. Pizza was good. Like bbq pizza the best. Just location is wrong. Should not be in back of ship

[Jim_Iain]

Not the best pizza I've ever had but pretty good and often enjoy it.    They have a huge variety and last cruise they had a Blue Cheese and Bacon.    Really yum.

As native New Yorkers we problematically find the pizza in the buffet irresistible. Thin enough to fold in half and walk with, and if completely in Saturday Night Fever mode, thin enough to double up and fold. 

Cheese only, please.

Where do you sit to eat it?  In general are there outside spots to eat buffet food?  Thanks.

Just off Apex this week.

Across from Apex Pizza are are indoor seating and outdoor seating within 15 feet.

Is pizza better on Apex than, say, Millennium? 

 

You know, because Apex is so much newer than Millie?

Problem solved, I’ve been Beyond worried.

Just had some great pizza a few hours ago.

Asked the server to heat up 4 slices to make em more toasty & extra crispy.  Done.  No problem.  Great service.

Earlier in the afternoon, we asked to make a special whole pizza with all the meats & onions.  Came back 15 minutes later.  Done.  Delicious...

I grew up in Jersey;  so I know the fold.  Thanks for your feedback.  Cheers

I thank you for your feedback.  I love to eat a slice when cruising.  Cheers

I too don't book cruises to eat pizza;  however, I eat it on every cruise;  so now that I have been on several different lines;  I am doing a comparison between lines.  Since I have not yet sailed with Celebrity,  I wanted feedback.  My good friend only sails Celebrity and he's been bugging me for a year to sail with him.  So I will have to book a cruise on either Apex or Edge

We were on the Silhouette at the end of Nov and I couldn't stand their pizza. We were then on the Summit at the end of Dec and their pizza was quite good. So it definitely varies from ship to ship. Maybe even between sailings of the same ship depending on where they are able to source ingredients from.

I would agree that where the provisions are obtained;  would make a difference on the taste of food

On the Apex in October.  At first, I was like… Nah, too much other good food.  But then really enjoyed it !  Sat right out there on the stern tables munching away … Great view, Great Pizza!

[bruzin_for_a_cruizin]

While I certainly question the location of the pizza shop on Apex (all the way astern, behind walls, a good hallway walk from all the other buffet food stations), I do not question the quality of the product.

All my previous cruises were on Freedom- and Oasis-class ships, and the pizza at Sorrento's is passable at best. It's excusable, given the numbers they do. On Apex, the pizza is made from fresh, hand-pulled dough. And it's delicious. 

I will say it would be nice to have pizza available into the late night (like Sorrento's), because after some heavy drinking and sweating in the night club, it would have been great to have a slice and a beer to end the evening.

Not been on Apex, but the pizza on Equinox was much better than what they had on Millennium. 

The space and setup for it was better.

The location is right where it should be for those of us who hang out on the rear decks 🙂

[phoenix_dream]

From the Chicago area so we are very picky with pizza!  We found the Apex pizza to be quite good, for a cruise ship pizza at least.

Grew up in same neighborhood as Tony Manero (Bensonhurst, Brooklyn) and Lenny's Pizzeria on 86th Street where he got the double slice was always my go to. I think they still have the poster from 1977 hanging on the wall.

Growing up in Boston, and eating pizza in the North End, pizza on a cruise ship does NOT compute, IMHO
