Disneyland Adds Pizza at Avengers Campus Amid Fan Criticism

Disneyland Resort has introduced Slice of NY pizza at Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure while the Marvel-themed area faces renewed criticism from some visitors over its atmosphere, limited attractions and replacement of A Bug’s Land. The new pizza option is available at a food cart near the Hyperion Theater.

According to Daps Magic, the menu offers cheese pizza for $9.49 and pepperoni pizza for $9.99 by the slice. The cart previously served pizza pockets before the latest menu change.

Avengers Campus opened in June 2021 after delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic and replaced A Bug’s Land, which closed permanently in September 2018. The land includes WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, Pym Test Kitchen and character experiences.

A recent Reddit discussion included strong criticism from visitors who said the land lacked enough attractions and atmosphere.

"Avengers Campus is the worst land in all of California Adventure, maybe even the whole resort." said a Reddit user.

The same discussion included complaints that the land did not provide enough reasons for guests to stay after entering.

"When I heard Bug’s Land was closing, I was excited, thinking Disney can finally replace that baby land with something cooler," said a Reddit user.

The commenter continued their criticism of the current experience.

"Then you get to Avengers Campus and it’s pretty mediocre." said a Reddit user.

Other visitors compared the area unfavorably with Disney properties and nearby Cars Land.

"One of the worst lands at any Disney property," said a Reddit user.

Some guests also described the area with a nickname based on its appearance.

"Avengers Business Park." said a Reddit user.

Visitors cited the contrast between Avengers Campus and Cars Land as a major issue.

"I think the fact that it is right next to Cars Land makes it even worse," said a Reddit user.

"You are IN Radiator Springs! And then you walk into … a big plaza of concrete." said a Reddit user.

Fans also said the land could have used more Marvel-inspired environmental details.

"I wish they had leaned more into the sci-fi elements of the MCU for the exteriors rather than just having it be this big concrete college-looking area," said a Reddit user.

Some criticism focused on the land’s connection to the Marvel universe and its setting.

"Part of the problem is that Avengers are associated with New York. And we’re in a park in California. But the Campus fails to even feel like New York," said a Reddit user.

The same user described the area’s identity in another comment.

"Corporate block that suggests no identity of its own." said a Reddit user.

Visitors also raised concerns about music affecting nearby themed areas.

"Causes so much dissonance." said a Reddit user.

Heat and limited shade were additional complaints linked to the concrete-heavy design.

"It’s disgustingly hot in the heat because there are no trees/shade," said a Reddit user.

Another visitor compared the current land with the former family-focused area.

"I really miss the relief that Bug’s Land provided during the hotter parts of the year and just the quaint peace that it had." said a Reddit user.

Some guests called the replacement a major mistake.

"Biggest mistake," said a Reddit user.

Other comments focused on whether the area was worth visiting regularly.

"I always skip over Avengers Campus when I go to DCA," said a Reddit user.

"It’s just not worth it and the sun beams on you the entire time." said a Reddit user.

Disney has continued to maintain character appearances and experiences at Avengers Campus, while previous live entertainment offerings have been reduced, including Doctor Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Arts ending in June 2024 and changes to The Amazing Spider-Man! performances later that year.
