johnql Posted December 11, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I ordered the $5 pizza twice during my recent Jewel cruise. It was delivered promptly, the pizza was hot, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlacy1987 Posted December 11, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Just to hump onto to this topic. Does anyone know if they offer a gluten-free pizza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted December 11, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Based on our Gem sailing, I couldn't tell the difference between the pizza delivered to our next cabin/neighbor's and the ones in the buffet - it's vastly improved compared to the past, thin crust pizza & well-baked. We had them in the buffet for lunch & snack, not exactly challenging Pizza Huts or Papa John's franchised products but definitely good enough - a nice bowl of soup, some salad & fresh fruit, good anytime while cruising for us. Wasn't impressed with the "old" pizza product on the Jewel in 2011 - and delivered for $5, why not - tipping already included (and it's covered by our OBC anyway ...)

xenagurl Posted December 11, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Not like Brooklyn Pizza but way better than the chain "pizza" that I do not touch for love or money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louwoz Posted December 11, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's $5.00. How bad could it be to not be worth $5.00? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seems to be a nice thought to tip a buck or two to the delivery guy. Just MY opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyRealName Posted December 11, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Is the Pizza delivery available on all ships? What size is it and are there options... or just plain peperoni and cheese? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenagurl Posted December 11, 2012 #9 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Is the Pizza delivery available on all ships? What size is it and are there options... or just plain peperoni and cheese? Thanks I believe it's available on all ships. It's a full size pizza. 16" I think. Different options. I had vegetables on mine, peppers, onions, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted December 11, 2012 #10 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Ordered a pizza for the first time on the Dawn this past July. Decided to try it once and for all as I have heard so many times about how "horrible" it is. $5 for a 16-inch pizza. The choices are cheese, pepperoni and a vegetarian option. However, we ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza with mushrooms added on one half. The pizza was just fine and served its purpose as a late-time snack. The toppings were generous and we were only able to finish about half of it among the three of us. Delivered hot. Would order again. Love seeing the guys around the ship delivering the pizzas anywhere - pool, bars, atrium. Have also seen some roll call groups order pizzas for their informal meet and greets. Great idea when coupled with beer and a game of bowling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuninWB Posted December 11, 2012 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Pizza on the Gem Nov. 25 cruise was great! They seemed to have pizza at the buffet for lunch and dinner each day also, and they varied the choices. One night they had pizza with pineapple which was wonderful.

Rapsmac Posted December 12, 2012 #13 Share Posted December 12, 2012 First time on NCL. On Carnival and Princess the pizza was available 24/7 no fee. There was a fee if you had it delivered. I understand that there is a $5 fee for delivery. Is pizza available 24/7 at the buffet or just some days? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charge is if you have a whole pie delivered anywhere on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valleyvillage Posted December 12, 2012 #17 Share Posted December 12, 2012 One fun night we just did not feel like going out for dinner, so we stayed in the suite and ordered the Greek salad from the room service menu and a Pizza with double pepperoni. It was very good, a great combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
che5904 Posted December 12, 2012 #18 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's $5.00. How bad could it be to not be worth $5.00? I was thinking along the same lines :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jame_g Posted December 12, 2012 #19 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I didn't think it was worth the $5. At least not while there are other options readily available. Late night when room service is charging a fee anyway, go for it. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. It just wasn't that great. NCL just can't seem to make a decent pizza. And I love all types of pizza. But I'd pick Tombstone or Little Ceasars over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted December 12, 2012 #20 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Put me down in the dislike category. Our Epic cruise, all the food was good to excellent except this pizza. It was lousy! To make matters worse, I was starving when we ordered it. We just got back on the ship in St Thomas and was so hungry that I thought it would be a good idea. Even with me SO HUNGRY, I was able to recognize it was a very lousy pizza. The pizza in La Cucina is very good though. It is a shame they dont deliver those pizzas ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdoxies Posted December 12, 2012 #21 Share Posted December 12, 2012 yes we have it delivered by our butler ---nice and hot ==pretty tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkstarr Posted December 12, 2012 #22 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Princess's pizza is way better than NCL. Was on the 11/24 Epic sailing, the pizza on the buffet was not good, the $5 delivery we had sent to the studio lounge was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumber22 Posted December 13, 2012 #23 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hi, curious if anyone has recently sampled NCL's $5 delivery pizza. Worth the added fee? We have had the previous smaller pizza on numerous ships many times. It was perfect for the late night snack..... This new larger five dollar pizza is very good and so worth the money but it is just way to big. It is very delicious but we ended up throwing atleast half of it away each time. This is more of a family dinner pizza and we did order it one night for our dinner with a few salads. Definitely worth the money..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted December 13, 2012 #24 Share Posted December 13, 2012 We've tried it twice and both times we did not like it. We could barely get down 1 slice each. However, I did not try it on my last cruise. We did try the pizza at the buffet...didn't care for it too much either, but I can say that it tasted a little different than the one we had delivered. :( I would never buy it again. If I want a late night snack, wings it is for free! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want a late night snack, wings it is for free! :D This new pizza is so much better than the old free pizzas, I would suggest you try it again it is so worth the $5.00, it definetly is not the same as on the buffet, we won't waste our time on that pizza. But you are right most of the time if my husband is out and about he will stop and get wings and hot dogs to bring back to the room for his late night snack. He only orders pizza if he is at home and doesn't want to leave again. Enjoy your next cruise and if you have an inkling try the new pizza it is deliscious!!!!!
