What Is The Truth Of The Pizza Moon To Go Box Controversy At Epic Universe? A Saga

by

Disputes among theme park enthusiasts are a common occurrence. I often pen articles about fans who express disappointment when a beloved ride is shut down or feel let down by the final product of a new attraction not meeting their expectations based on concept art. At times, these disagreements can escalate to an extreme level. The latest controversy has revolved around Universal Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe, with fans debating over an unexpected issue – the absence of pizza boxes!

If you’ve got a clue about what I’m discussing, you might be shaking your head in amazement. For those who don’t, consider yourself fortunate indeed. To add, if you once found adult theme park enthusiasts somewhat awkward, prepare for that impression to escalate significantly. As one member of the Theme Park Twitter community expressed…

Ok, Professor Leisure. Challenge Accepted.

Epic Universe’s Pizza Moon Didn’t Have Pizza Boxes

The unusual debate kicked off last week over a report from Universal Parks News Today, which claimed that Pizza Moon in Celestial Park’s Epic Universe – now considered the top theme park pizza spot in Orlando since the closure of PizzeRizzo – operates as a dine-in establishment only. The story further stated that there are no takeout boxes available for leftovers and that guests were not permitted to bring their pizza outside under any circumstances.

The narrative suggests that take-out containers (to-go boxes) were reportedly available at Pizza Moon prior to this point, but a glance at social media reveals numerous people asking for these containers as early as a week following the public opening of Epic Universe. Therefore, it appears that the restaurant has been implementing this policy since the initial stages, if not right from the start.

It’s quite unusual not to find takeout containers, typically used for pizza, in restaurants, including those in theme parks. However, this was noticeable in Epic Universe, given that the Helios Grand Hotel is connected to it. Some guests might have expected to bring pizza back to their hotel rooms, so the absence of these boxes seemed out of place.

Pizza Moon Now Has Pizza Boxes

However, we can now breathe a sigh of relief, for a recent update from Orlando Informer has confirmed that as early as June 24th, guests will be able to enjoy their pizza in a box at Pizza Moon. The post also mentions that these boxes were produced even before the park’s grand opening.

As things become more debatable and even humorous, the claim that these containers were made before the park’s opening appears intended to emphasize their current existence has no connection with last week’s articles. It’s evident that the authors of the article are attempting to take credit for introducing boxes at Pizza Moon by focusing on this topic.

According to the Orlando Informer’s account, it appears that boxes were produced ahead of time, but for some unknown reason, they weren’t accessible. I attempted to get a response from Universal Orlando Resort regarding this matter, but haven’t received one yet. I’ll update this article if I receive any new information.

Regardless of when the production began, there was significant demand for the boxes on social media platforms. It’s plausible that this interest, rather than any one news article, drove the creation of these boxes. Whether it was a passionate tweet or in-person requests, what truly initiated their manufacture might not really matter.

The positive development is that you can obtain a pizza box from Pizza Moon these days. However, by doing so, you will learn about the history of their pizza boxes. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
