ready2cruzagain Posted March 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) We were on the Seashore for 2 weeks ending on 3/12. We were super disappointed in the pizza. In the past we have enjoyed the pizza on the Divina and the Seaside but the Seashore did not have the great pizza like the other ships. On the Divina and Seashore they had all different types of pizza and would make specialty pizzas if you asked. The Seashore only had 3 types of pizza available, Marguerita, Salami and a pizza with a white sauce, all three were on a wafer thin pizza crust. I asked several times if they could fix a different type of pizza and was told no. They stated that they only fixed those three types of pizza. So, if you are going on the Seashore hoping to get some of their great pizza, forget about it! Edited March 19, 2022 by ready2cruzagain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have been on the Divina and Seaside and loved the pizza there (MDR). As I said in that post, Carnival now has my favorite pizza @ sea (at least compared to Seashore). (I don’t recall the limited variety on Seashore but I only went twice so would probably to have noticed.) Edited March 19, 2022 by TrinaLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markanddonna Posted March 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I don't know what has happened to MSC's pizza. I always thought theirs was amongst the best at sea. This time, on the Meraviglia, they were like wafers with almost no evidence of a sauce and VERY little cheese. Sort of like eating the thin breadsticks. They had only a few varieties and some were just gross. One was an onion pizza that was pure onion with no cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you all who not familiar with how pizza is made in Naples, Italy, (and the standard that MSC uses) the crust is very thin - thin enough to be able to fold the slice and eat by holding in your hand.

the wandering two Posted March 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Just off Meraviglia too, though the pizza was fine, didn't go out of my way to have that much, better things available elsewhere. As Homosassa has said super thin, minimal toppings, just as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with it being thin really, I just folded it over. My problem is there were only 3 types available the whole 2 weeks. They no longer make different types of pizza, just the 3 I stated. It is sad considering how much better their pizza use to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted March 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2022 That's too bad to hear. On our five trips on other ships, the pizza has been consistent and best at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the biggest money maker in any restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlbdude Posted March 19, 2022 #13 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Just off the Seashore and I enjoyed the pizza and could not tell a difference from what I got pre pandemic. However, variety was low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just seemed quite not up to par on the Divina and maybe even the Miraviglia from what I remembered on the seaside two times before covid happened. I wonder if they're making them thin to cook them fast or they are non-native bakers. I wished I would have tried the pizza in the pizza restaurant on the Divina to compare. Somebody said they ate there their a number of times on a cruise and it was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markanddonna Posted March 20, 2022 #19 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I think k mozzarella was in short supply. It wasn't offered extra on Italian dishes like usual. I think sauce must have been in short supply also based on our pizza and chicken parmesan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
