Pizza on Zuiderdam?

[Reds4life]

I have seen the NY Deli and Pizza advertised on some of the other ships, but does Zuiderdam have pizza? Is it the hand-made crust, freshly baked variety?

There was pizza in the Lido every day at lunch but  it is not like what is served at the pizzeria.

Also remember late night pizza at the forward (port) end of Lido. Freshly baked as we would wait for a 'new' flavor to come out. DNK about hand-made crust; did not see anyone throwing it!

We were on Zuiderdam in April and there is pizza in the Lido, but it is not at all like what they have at New York Deli & Pizza on the other ships. The crust was thicker and doughy, not crispy, and had very little cheese. I didn’t like it, YMMV.

I’m Here on Nieuw Amsterdam and I tried my first ever pizza at sea at the New York deli. After eyeballing other people’s pizza I asked for extra cheese. The pizza was better than expected and I will have it again, with extra cheese!!!      ~Nancy

Man that's what I was afraid of. My kiddos are pizza snobs and only like quality. Although they did like Royal Caribbean's ok. MSC was top notch.

Zuiderdam does not have the NY Pizza/Deli venue, which is where HAL's best pizza (in our opinion) comes from.

But pizza is usually available in the Lido buffet area, and it's okay. Not even close to NY Pizza/Deli, but just okay.

The Zuiderdam had the Taco Bar open in April to build nachos or make tacos.

Not pizza and do not care for such cuisine.

I think Roger @Crew News was offering @Reds4life an alternative for her kids that would not enjoy pre-made pizza crust. Not suggesting that tacos were equivalent to pizza for adults such as yourself.

Of course food opinions are so inherently subjective, that one person's perception of 'quality' is another's perception of garbage.

Is it available til 4:30 from the lido or does it close at 2:00.  I don’t eat pizza but my father likes his 4:00 pizza fix and we will be in Zuiderdam next month.

Lido Market pizza was available on the Zuiderdam from lunchtime until at least 8:00 PM in April.

Stay far away from the pizza from HAL unless you enjoy eating a frozen pizza from the supermarket.

The ny pizza is not like frozen pizza.  If any frozen pizza tastes like that I would like to buy the brand.

The problem with that is if it’s like it used to be it’s self serve.  Speaking only for myself I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole.

But it is definitely not "NY"  pizza.

 

As I am used to what is "NY" pizza (in actually the closest you can come to Napolitano pizza without being in Italy), the HAL stuff does remind me of a frozen supermarket pizza.

I think most people know that it not ny pizza.  Again, which frozen pizza tastes like that?  To me just because you don’t like it you “think” that’s what frozen pizza taste like.  I can assure you that as someone that actually eats frozen pizza on occasion it doesn’t taste like that.

New York Deli Pizza is delicious. Of course it's not like the pizza you would eat in Italy, and also not like the pizza you would have in NY (thank God), but still delicious. Pizzas from all the other Class ships are not the same level, and I also don't like them. But saying New York Deli Pizza is not a good pizza for a cruise line, it's not true.

Just imagine tomato sauce on a piece of drywall

People go on and on about the pizza on Princess.  It must have improved on ton since the last time I sailed with them.  It was not good.

Okay, I can imagine that. But are you making a comparison in there some where?

Thanks that is good to know! I think they will definitely try the pizza regardless but generally have been a bit spoiled by MSC with pizza, but RCCL pizza was ok as well. I was kinda hoping for the NY Deli kind but I am sure we will manage lol 🙂

MSC and RCCL pizza sucks IMHO. You will be blown away by HAL's pizza!

Different tastes, maybe?  Different cooks in the pizza kitchen, maybe?  HAL's New York Deli and Pizza pizza product is superior to the pizza product that the other vessels pizza galleys can produce.  MSC's pizza?  As good as, if not better, than HAL's best pizza.  Just my opinion--according to my taste buds.  😀
