If you’re spending the day at EPCOT, you have tons of tasty food options.
Between the food booths at the 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, character dining options, and ultra-expensive sit-down dining experiences throughout the park, you definitely won’t go hungry! But we recently took a few steps just outside of EPCOT to have a bite to eat at the Pizza Window along Disney’s BoardWalk, and we’re bringing you all the details!
Atmosphere
If you take a quick walk outside of EPCOT’s International Gateway you’ll find Disney’s bustling BoardWalk, a 9,600 square-foot collection of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The BoardWalk Pizza Window is an outdoor restaurant that serves up slices of pizza and other small snacks along the water.
This quick-service location has an order window with a small menu, and you’ll find a self-serve counter with plastic utensils, napkins, and condiments nearby. You won’t find any indoor seating, and there isn’t much shade, so keep that in mind on a hot summer day in Florida. But, if you don’t mind the outdoor seating, you’ll have a beautiful view of the water.
In the evening, the BoardWalk becomes quite the area for entertainment with musicians and other performers — so this could be the perfect place to grab a quick bite and enjoy some entertainment!
Eats
To order your food, you’ll wait in line at the window and place your order with a cast member. Occasionally, Mobile Order is available at this location as well.
The menu here is pretty limited, but you’ll be able to order a slice of classic cheese or pepperoni pizza, a side salad, and dessert, as well as a few drink choices.
There are also a few craft beer options for you to enjoy as well as a tasty sangria.
We decided to try both slices of pizza, the side salad, and the mini cannolis.
We started off with the side salad, which we got for $4.49.
This salad had a nice mix of greens and vegetables, with a ton of cucumbers, carrots, and tomatoes. The veggies were fresh, but there wasn’t anything fancy about it and it reminded us a little of a cafeteria salad.
Overall, we still thought it was worth the price and think that those looking for a quick, healthy bite to eat on the go would enjoy this.
Now it’s time for the pizza! We tried the pepperoni slice first, which we got for $9.29.
The tomato sauce was sweet, and this slice had a nice, tangy flavor to it. The dough was light and airy, which makes this a great choice if you’d like to have pizza for lunch and not feel sluggish afterward.
The cheese pizza was a tad cheaper and cost us $8.79.
This was similarly light and airy, with a sweet tomato sauce, and we thought it was pretty tasty. Overall, we liked the two slices of pizza, but they were a little pricey for what we got. They didn’t leave us feeling full, and for the price, we were expecting them to. But, if you’re looking for a slice of pizza and want it on the lighter side — this might be for you!
For dessert, we tried the mini cannolis, which cost $4.59.
We thought the shell was good and tasted like a true cannoli. The filling was also tasty, but maybe not super authentic tasting.
This came with 4 mini cannolis, which we thought was a great value! If you’re looking to save some money and share a quick dessert with some friends, this might be a great option for you. If you’re a little more on the traditionalist side when it comes to your Italian desserts, you may want to skip this one. You can find some tasty ice cream at BoardWalk Ice Cream next door!

Overall
We enjoyed this spot quite a bit! The food was pretty good, even if it was pricey for what you were getting. Enjoying the atmosphere of sitting by the water along the scenic BoardWalk made this experience really memorable for us, and if you’re looking for a relaxing break to your EPCOT day, you might really like stopping here for lunch. However, if you’re looking for some top-notch pizza inside EPCOT, we prefer Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion.
