While Disney still haven’t revealed the details behind the new restaurant, they have stated that Pizzafari will be closing on August 23 and will not be opening again until sometime late in the fall. Considering the two restaurants will be next door to each other it is expected that the closure is happening simply to allow for the construction to finish on the neighbouring restaurant.

Although Pizzafari doesn’t tend to be at the top of peoples lists when it comes to quick service restaurants, the food is fairly decent and the closure will have an impact on the rest of the quick service restaurants in the park, especially Flame Tree Barbecue.
