Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted July 14, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I had a feeling that there was some pizza available by the slice up on deck where the burger and hotdogs were (Terrace?) but I may be mistaken. I didn't really look that hard. The best pizza IMO is a traditional thin crust tomato and basil as is served in Italy. None of this ham or heaven forbid, pineapple!:) You don't have to go to Italy to get pizza like that. Next time you're in Sydney look for a Via Napoli restaurant - Lane Cove, Hunters Hill and Surry Hills. Luigi, the owner, is from Naples as are many of his staff. The restaurants are crazy but the Margherita pizza is to die for. http://www.vianapolipizzeria.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn R Posted July 14, 2016 #27 Share Posted July 14, 2016 You might be surprised what the Italians put on their pizzas, even hot dogs, French fries, salad, yes ham too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted July 14, 2016 Author #28 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I was on the Sun in May and there were slices of pizza at the Grill near Horizon. Not everyday though. Wow! That's great news, about pizza by the slice. This is a great relief for me. Again, thanks! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted July 14, 2016 #29 Share Posted July 14, 2016 You might be surprised what the Italians put on their pizzas, even hot dogs, French fries, salad, yes ham too! Absolutely! In Amalfi (not far from Napoli) they had slices of pizza with French fries as the topping which many of the teens were ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henchy Posted July 28, 2016 #30 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks for the answer and for the thoughts. Just read your posts. We have just disembarked in Tokyo from Sun Princess. Yes Pizzeria replaced by Curtis Stone share restaurant and a lot of very unhappy passengers BUT you can get a Pizza from room service during 2 time periods for an additional $3 per delivery not per pizza and they were good!! Also free ice cream replaced by a New Zealand Ice cream at $5 per serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted July 29, 2016 #31 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I loved the pizzeria menu on the Sun Class ships. I wished they used that menu for Alfredos! Some new cruisers have no idea how cool this pizzeria was. Our first cruise was on Sea Princess - a Sun class ship. They had Cafe Corniche and the pizza was wonderful. Imagine our disappointment when our next cruise was on Star Princess and all they had was the cardboard tasting stuff with almost no sauce at Prego's on Lido Deck. We were horrified. I know many people say that is good pizza but we find it almost inedible. I can get pizza that good for $5 anytime or frozen at the grocery store. Ships where there is a dedicated Alfredo's or where they serve Alfredo's in Sabatini's at lunch time are much better than Lido deck pizza but still not as good as we got on Sea Princess.

Lucky TGO Posted July 29, 2016 #32 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) It's hard to imagine cruising without pizza. I totally agree with you. NO pizza :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Tony Edited July 29, 2016 by Lucky TGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship Drongo Posted October 31, 2016 #38 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Does anyone know if there is pizza available on Sun Princess?Now that Share has replaced the Verdi's pizza place? Inquiring minds want to know:) :) :) I believe that you can still get pizza on Sun via room service. Reports on quality has been mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeye84 Posted December 19, 2016 #39 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I believe that you can still get pizza on Sun via room service. Reports on quality has been mixed. The Sun class ships have always had pizza available: Room Service Pizza Whole, made fresh to order 12" pizzas are available for consumption in your stateroom via room service from 12 Noon to 2:30pm and 6pm to 10:45pm. Pepperoni, Cheese, and a rotating daily special are available. Please specify choice of extra cheese and chili flakes. A nominal service charge of A$3.00 per delivery will be applied to your shipboard account. I just got off the Sun in Fremantle 18 Dec 2016 and Curtis Stone's Share restaurant ($40 per head) has replaced the much loved (free) pizza restaurant. I saw no one at Share when I looked but I didn't hang around to see if anyone showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as though the Italians have taken a cue from England - that centre of gastronomic excellence with their chip butty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeye84 Posted December 22, 2016 #42 Share Posted December 22, 2016 How was the ship? There are very mixed reviews on the Sun on this forum... I'm boarding on the 8th Jan :) When you consider the fact that the Sun Princess launched in 1995 and is the oldest ship in the whole princess fleet she is in pretty good shape. My balcony stateroom had a big widescreen tv with on demand viewing. I could watch part of a program and resume at a later time. There is an Australian power point but it's on the wall in back of the tv. The desk for my laptop is on the other side of the cabin so I brought an extension cord to use it while charging. The Main Dining Room meals are as good as ever in my opinion. Unfortunately, there were cases of Noro virus so sanitation was in full swing for the last few days of the cruise. In the Horizon Court the staff served everything - you couldn't touch anything. If you just wanted a glass of water a steward had to get it for you. In peak periods the Horizon is packed and slow as it is. As a result, I ate in the MDR for breakfast, lunch when it was open, and dinner. On Sunday the boarding for the next cruise was delayed until 3pm because of a 'deep sanitizing' procedure. I do miss the great free pizza restaurant replaced by Share, and free Swirls replaced by the surcharge New Zealand Ice Cream. The Dawn and Sea Princess still have the pizza restaurant and Magnum's Bar, with the comfortable sofas and chairs that stretch down the hall to the dreaded Valley of the Photos :eek:.

I wonder if they will ever convert it back to a pizzeria after the Curtis Stone contract is over. I loved the Sun Princess and the pizzeria on that ship! I will sail the Sun or any of her sisters again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted December 22, 2016 Author #44 Share Posted December 22, 2016 The Sun Princess is a wonderful ship! My cruise around New Zealand in October was wonderful:) The buffet was super! The wide and fully wrap-around promenade deck is the very best. My room steward, Dennis, was also the very best. And pizza at the outdoor grill, near the buffet, was great!

Cruiserkenn Posted December 22, 2016 Author #45 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Oh! I should add that DW loved the New Zealand ice cream place. Super gourmet, according to her. I thought it to be pricey. Five AUD per scoop, which according to Google is about 3.61 US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
