I'm sure for those guests who visit EPCOT frequently they already know this, but for guests who visit on occassion, once a year, or even longer this is a bit deceiving. Great article and review.

Agreed this is a bad idea. Plus if it's that pizza that's being sold on the counter, it's not giving people much incentive to step up to the real thing in the actual restaurant.

Well, Disney did say this was a test. If it is a test it may fail miserably.

Its just dumb. If they sell the good pizza from inside, then there may be people who say "hey thats good we need to eat in there"

now they may run for the hills

JAMBO EVERYONE!

That is such a horrible strategy. I haven't eaten at Via Napoli yet but, even as a local regular vistor, I would assume the pizza inside & outside are the same pizza. It's very conceivable that anyone might opt to "try it out" at the counter before going inside and get totally turned off by the counter pizza. If WDw is going to do this, it should be VERY clear that the pizzas are significantly different.
