Visitors to EPCOT expect, rightfully, to get authentic cuisine in the various international pavilions around the park. Located in "Italy," Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria delivers the sauce for certain, but its thin-crust pizza, which bakes in record time in the gaping maws of ovens so hot they're named for the nation's most famous volcanoes â" Etna, Vesuvius and Stromboli â" is a crispy, chewy, gooey delight for the taste buds. In fact, they take the art so seriously, Via Napoli brings in water sourced from a domestic spring similar to Italy's Campania region. With the crust well covered, diners are welcome to source the toppings themselves for an array of meats, cheese and vegetables. Not in the mood for pizza? It's the house specialty, but fear not: an array of other Italian dishes await.

- Best for Walt Disney World ®'s Best Italian Because: Theme park pizza often leaves much to be desired. Via Napoli staffers work hard to prove it doesn't have to be that way.
- Best for Pizza Because: What's the best way to split the diff between "authentic" EPCOT dining and having kids with you? Pizza. Via Napoli is one tasty answer.
