Controversy amongst theme park followers is nothing new. I write ceaselessly about followers upset {that a} favourite trip is closing or annoyed that the ultimate model of a brand new attraction doesn’t look as cool because the idea artwork did. However generally the controversy will get slightly ridiculous. The latest controversy has been targeted on the world’s latest theme park, Common Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe. No, not any of Epic Universe’s superb rides, its pizza bins, or lack thereof.
In the event you already know what I’m speaking about, you’re already shaking your head in disbelief. In the event you don’t, you’re a really fortunate human being. For sure, for those who thought grownup theme park followers have been embarrassing earlier than, prepare for all of it to go to a different degree. As a member of the Theme Park Twittersphere put it…
I dare you to elucidate the EPIC Universe takeout pizza field controversy to somebody at your work with a straight face. And for those who dont know what that’s, even higher.. you win. https://t.co/WQM2FMT9gYJune 25, 2025
Okay, Professor Leisure. Problem Accepted.
Epic Universe’s Pizza Moon Didn’t Have Pizza Packing containers
This weird controversy began final week when a narrative and a associated Twitter submit from Common Parks Information At present acknowledged that Pizza Moon, the pizza place present in Celestial Park at Epic Universe and de facto greatest theme park pizza in Orlando following the closure of the enduring PizzeRizzo, was “dine-in solely” and that the restaurant had no bins for leftover pizza. What’s extra, they’d not enable visitors to take their pizza exterior in any respect.
The story claimed that to-go bins at Pizza Moon had beforehand been supplied, however a fast take a look at social media exhibits lots of people asking for bins to exist as early because the week after Epic Universe opened to most people. So, this has been the restaurant’s coverage from early on, if not the very starting.
To-go bins are a reasonably commonplace a part of pizza eating places, they usually’re often accessible in any restaurant in theme parks as properly, so the shortage of them was definitely odd. That is particularly the case contemplating Epic Universe has the Helios Grand Resort connected to it, and a few may need to take pizza again to their rooms.
Pizza Moon Now Has Pizza Packing containers
However our lengthy nationwide nightmare is now over, as a result of a submit from Orlando Informer, as seen within the submit above, confirms that as of at the very least June 24, pizza bins can be found at Pizza Moon. It additionally specifies that the bins have been “manufactured previous to the park opening.”
That is the place issues get more and more controversial, and likewise foolish, because the “manufactured previous to the park opening” remark would appear to be particularly meant to make it clear that the existence of bins in the present day has nothing to do with any articles final week. These chargeable for the article are, after all, claiming credit score for having introduced bins to Pizza Moon by drawing consideration to the difficulty.
If we take the Orlando Informer assertion at face worth, then it appears bins have been made earlier, and easily not accessible for some unclear cause. I reached out to Common Orlando Resort for remark, however haven’t heard again. I will replace this story if that modifications.
Even when we assume bins weren’t in manufacturing till later, so much of individuals have been asking for bins on social media, and one assumes much more have been doing it in particular person, so it’s doable these requests, and never a single information article, have been chargeable for getting bins made. Or possibly it was an indignant Twitter submit. Does it truly matter?
The excellent news for all concerned is that now, for no matter cause, you will get a pizza field at Pizza Moon. The dangerous information is you now know the saga of Pizza Moon’s pizza bins. I’m so, so sorry.
