They are building a pizza place I believe it is supposed to be a quick service place.

Just back from a trip, family was amazed that I didn't know what it was gonna be due to my expertise gathered mostly from this site!

Upscale pizza, 300 seat facility.

They made the following mention of it last week on their blog:

The new 300-seat restaurant will have traditional Florentine architecture, vaulted-ceilings and outside dining. And the food will be authentic — Italian dishes (complimenting the offerings at Tutto Italia) and pizza from wood-burning ovens.



The pizzeria will be the newest flagship restaurant in the Patina Restaurant Group’s portfolio. And one of the special touches at the Epcot location will be the water. It’ll be imported from a source where the composition most resembles water used in Naples, Italy, to make the authentic Italian dough.



A name for the family-style pizzeria has not been finalized but we wanted to share this information with you first on the Disney Parks Blog. Construction is currently underway and the restaurant is scheduled to open in fall 2010.

Sounds like it might be worth checking out.

It's the new pizzeria mentioned in Tidbits December 2009 and under discussion in New Italian Eatery in Epcot? over in the Dining Forum.
