Carnival cruise pizza: Pizza Pirate, Pizzeria del Capitano and more
If someone asked me to pick an ideal food, I'd almost certainly go with pizza. It's tasty, portable and easy to prepare, and just about everyone likes it. That's why it's unsurprising that it's one of the most popular foods on cruise ships.
Carnival Cruise Line is known for having some of the best pizza at sea. In fact, it's so good I find myself enjoying a slice or two almost daily when I sail. Here's a guide to where you can find it, what's on the menu and how much a pie will cost you.
What are the names of the pizza places on Carnival ships?
Carnival offers nearly round-the-clock pizza on every one of its vessels, so you're never far from cheesy goodness when you're on board.
Almost all ships — 25 of the 27 in the fleet — have either Pizza Pirate or Pizzeria del Capitano. The other two vessels, which are part of the line's new Excel Class, have something similar but with a different name: Miami Slice on Carnival Celebration and Coastal Slice on Carnival Jubilee.
The one thing they all have in common is that you can order either by the pie or by the slice, and you won't pay an extra cent. The pizzerias are also all set up as walk-up counters. Be warned: The pizzas are so good there's likely to be a line more often than not.
Carnival cruise pizza menus
Each of Carnival's pizza outposts features a selection of five pizza types, three of which are core options that appear on all menus across the fleet and two of which can change from ship to ship.
