This is my favorite counter service restaurant in all of WDW! The pizza is very good, as is the side caesar salad. The theming is great, however, the restaurant can get crowded and loud, and so I prefer to eat outside under the awning. The one downside is that it often closes long before the park closes. One night during our stay, the park closed at 7pm and Pizza Planet closed at 5:30. We had planned on eating dinner here that night, and were disappointed when we arrived around 5:40 that it was already closed. For this reason, you may want to plan on eating lunch here, rather than dinner.

I have been to Pizza Planet before, but this time with my 4 year old who has food allergies. I requested a pizza with just sauce. The manager told me since they share a kitchen with Mama Melrose they could put dairy free cheese on his pizza. Also, they gave him an allergy free cookie for dessert. This was his first pizza with "cheese." He was so excited to eat what the rest of us were eating. Also, the adult meals come with a Caesar side salad. The dressing is not too think or heavy. My daughter loves the option of the Power Pack lunch box. We ate upstairs away from the arcade and watched the fountain in front of Muppets 3-D. It was a lovely lunch!
Pros:
pizza, kid's menu, upstairs seating, food allergy friendlyCons:

This was THE surprise winner of our QS meals during our stay.
DH and the kids had pizza with side salads and really enjoyed them. I had the antipasto salad (which I was missing from another QS place) and LOVED it. It was exactly what I was craving! Super fresh greens with some yummy salami and pepperoni, sweet baby tomatoes and a perfect dressing. It was so good!
The perfect ending to the meal were the cupcakes. We are not a cupcake lovin family - but oh my! We had 2 of the cappuccino cupcakes and 2 of the Darth Vader cupcakes. The Darth ones were super moist, chocolately and filled with a light, creamy peanut butter filling. It was topped with a rich chocolate frosting and a big piece of chocolate Darth Vader. Evil but good.
My favorite - the cappuccino one. I would eat here again if for just for this. The light but super chocolately cupcake topped with a fluffy chocolate/coffee bit of heavenly frosting with crunchy little chocolate bits in it. PERFECTION! yes - my best lunch was a salad and a cupcake. I love vacation. 😉

Family of 5, we had pizzas and meatball subs, and salads. No complaints. Too hot out, ate upstairs. It was empty and had our own bathroom. Cupcakes were good.

After a surprisingly yummy lunch last year, we couldn't wait to return. My husband and kids all got the pizza and salad combo. I'm going to be honest...the CS pizza is what it is in the World. My family is not a huge fan, but we don't order the pizza any other place in WDW (except Via Napoli and that is an entirely different thing!). So the family was actually in the mood for typical Disney CS pizza - which is what they got. 😉 It was cooked just right and they all ate every bite. The three of them chose the Darth Vader peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes for dessert. They loved them...but I know better.... The real reason for our re-visit here...MY lunch.
Thankfully they still have the antipasto salad. Yay! It was still excellent. The only difference this year, it was a little heavy on the yummy dressing. I stole a pizza crust from one of my kids when they weren't looking - so that made it much better. And the BEST thing at Pizza Planet???? That Cappuccino Cupcake . I don't love cupcakes - but this baby is heavenly! Totally worth the one years wait.

Only used one counter service to feed us both. Got a little salad, big slice of pizza, huge cupcake, and drink that was just perfect to hold us over. It was extremely busy, but had no issues on getting food. It was logistically awesome. The salad was a little bowl of greens, pizza was really good. And the cappuccino cupcake was great.. Would for sure go back for counter service.

Pizza planet is always a favorite of mine and one I return to time and again. The cappuccino cupcake is amazing and one of my favorite desserts at Disney. The pizza is pretty good considering how many they crank out in a day! This place is very loud though, which is why I often choose an outdoor table if the weather is right.
Pros:
cupcakes, indoor/outdoor seating,Cons:

We've always enjoyed this place. The antipasto salad was very good. The cupcakes were also good, but way too much after the large salad. The pizzas were good, as always. We did eat upstairs, where it isn't as crowded. There is an elevator up to it & restrooms on that floor as well. The line is always long, but it moves quickly.
Pros:
Great Antipasto SaladCons:

We enjoyed the cheese pizza with side salad. Our son had the meatball sub, which he said was delicious! We always find a table outside here--away from the noisy, crowded interior.

This is actually our 2nd favorite quick service option (after Starring Rolls) at HS. Not because it's especially good, but because there aren't a ton of great options. They offer a capuccino or specialty cupcake or cookie for dessert. Had both cupcakes, and both were very good. The specialty last week was the Olaf cupcake that was carrot with white cream cheese frosting, and white chocolate Olaf-shapped candy topping with milk chocolate stick arms. I liked the cappucino one slightly better.
We got the meat pizza both times w/ the caesar salad. The pizza had few pepperoni and chunks of sliced meatballs... not very much meat. The pizza tasted better than expected. The salads here, I liked better than the usual side salads... but I prefer caesar over tossed greens. We wish we ordered the meatball subs, because they looked fantastic. They were covered with mozzarella on top, unlike the one we ordered from MK's Pinnochio's, which was still good.
It can get kind of crazy in there, despite a lot of seating, because it's Toy Story themed, and has an arcade. The lower area was packed both times we visited (lunch and at early dinner), with a lot of arcade playing noise. Upstairs has its own set of restrooms. I did slip and fall down the last few stairs coming down during a long rain one night.
We love Toy Story, and as others mentioned, the theming could be better. There are aliens hanging from the ceiling, and a few other characters present, but it doesn't scream Toy Story. The pizza or sandwich/salad/cupcake meal is definitely splittable (we did that twice), and pretty good.
