Same with bagels! Something to keep in mind is, if someone has never had authentic NY, there's a chance they may not like it. I personally prefer the best thing around which means when in Chicago I'm not going to seek out NY pizza and when in NY I'm not going to seek out Chicago deep dish pizza. With that being said, here in LA we have just about every type of pizza you can get often made by people who grew up in NYC, Chicago, Detroit, Italy, etc who can produce a pizza that's 90% as good as the original. Some shops even import local water to help it taste more authentic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crust was chewy but crispy, the cheese was yummy. Totally recommend. I can't wait to be on Celebrity in January to see if it's still as good. It was still delicious on our cruise earlier this month. The pizza and the ice cream were the only reasons we ever went to the OVC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted October 13, 2023 Author #154 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Stumbled upon another youtuber who didn't like the X burger, this is a Margaritaville cruises which he said was a bad burger yet somehow (see below) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterde Posted October 13, 2023 #155 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I saw that video also and that part made me chuckle. He hated everything about the Margartiaville yet the burger was better than Celebrity, not a glowing recommendation by any stretch of the imagination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've included a juicy homemade burger so you can see the texture. X's burgers are so dry, the texture is almost mushy and it just tastes so below average, there's really no flavor and they're very industrial... We were on the Beyond in February and I found the burgers to be very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted October 14, 2023 #157 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I was on her last December, and had no problem with the burger. Hot and juicy. Not crazy about the fries, but I would think they use frozen packaged fries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Chicago calls a pizza we call a loaf of flattened bread with pizza toppings. Neapolitan / NYC style thing crust is the only real pizza. p.s. let me pizza wars begin. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about with premium cheeses? Yes, on GF pizza crust. Wife, who is Coeliac, rates Celebrity’s gluten free crust as Very Good. Cooked to order in special aluminum individual pans. Don't recall on special cheeses. I think no though. Edited October 14, 2023 by What A Market 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll make you anything you want including calzones assuming they have the ingredients and one will need to wait 10-15mins. I doubt they have premium ingredients and have never tried bringing other items from the buffet for them to put on a pizza but you can ask 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the best pizza recipe developers do not perfect a single specific pizza type and stop, they take talents and develop another type. If one has a shop run by this guy, he wins all sorts of awards and offers different styles of pizza at the same shop. If one ends up visiting Vegas, they need to stop at Pizza Rock downtown.

On our last X cruise on the Constellation, we couldn't wait to get a burger at Mast Grill. I got all the toppings and fries. Burger was inedible, cold & dry, bun was old and falling apart. Usually we have a burger at least 3-4 times, not on this trip. the guy cooking burgers was from columbus ohio....ha ha ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouChamp Posted October 14, 2023 #167 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Aloha. Born and raised in Manhattan. Grandparents from Sicily. My grandmother made pizza and during the process would put the dough on pans and cover them then blankets and let the dough rise laying them on a bed. All the grandkid’s self included would jump on the beds and she would yell at us in Italian lol. That said I tend to be very easy to please when it comes to pizza. Detroit, Chicago, LA, Hawaii, Italy. However when it comes to sauce/gravy or bagels…now that is a different story! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talljules1 Posted October 15, 2023 #171 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Never been impressed by the food at the mast grill. Almost always it's been cold, and it's usually tasteless. Burgers are cooked from frozen. Disappointing that there are not many other lunch options on the ship on port days (and that Luminae closed for lunch on port days). Not been wowed by the buffet either for lunch (it's great for breakfast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
