California Pizza Kitchen is pretty close to Park Place. Maybe a 10 minute walk. Very good pizza, which DL definitely doesn't have.

Joe's Italian Ice is pretty amazing. It's down Harbor Blvd about a mile. Get the cherry&vanilla or orange&vanilla.

Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney is a must every trip.Great food. But they also have New Orleans quality beignets at the Express or for dessert.

Porto's! There is one in Buena Park (about a 15 minute drive from the BWPPI). I especially like their ropa vieja platos, potato balls, and croqueta de jamon...and the desserts!

It's California, so: In-n-Out Burger

Nice dinner out? Morton's. Fun family dinner, Buca's. Joe's Italian Ice is great. Fast food? Miguel Jr's (east on Katella to Tustin Turn left its on the right.) Or Cane's (down by Target on Harbor.)

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles on Harbor Blvd

Pizza Press is amazing and I highly recommend!! We've already planned that on arrival day next month, we're going to either DoorDash or walk over from the Grand Californian to get it. So delicious!

We love Mimi's, which is up the road, close to Howard Johnson. They have a great menu!

Sauced - In Orange, 4ish miles away on Katella. Axe throwing, amazing bourbon selection and really good BBQ. 'Nuff said. https://www.saucedbbqandspirits.com/

Anaheim Packing District - 2ish miles from DLR. Lot's of fun and unique eating options. https://www.anaheimpackingdistrict.com/

Roxy's by Zov's - Across from Angel Stadium. So good...fresh mediterranean food, also have pizza and burgers. https://www.roxyz.com/

Anaheim Packing District hands down my fav...a foodie food hall with tons of options for everyone.

Worth the trip for the build your own flavor/dip/topping gelato bar place alone!

But honestly there are so many great options in DTD and GCH that we rarely eat off site unless it is just a quick bite.

For a pool break in the middle or at the end of the day we like to order and have Marris deliver a pizza.

Thanks! I was just looking for a pizza place in Anaheim!

Marri's is great. They also have great lasagna!.

Marri's is great. They also have great lasagna!.

Another vote for Marri's! Ordering is easy, delivery reasonably quick. Tasted extra good after Expo!

 

[Malcon10t]

Re: Marri's, if you are ordering online, make sure you have the Katella store....

 

[Geemo]

Not only do we order during our stay but we also order to take with us when we are headed to the airport for our flight home. All their food is GOOD!!!! Marris - Anaheim (714) 533-1631

FYI ... Sometimes their deilvery time is an hour or more. I've learned to call about 2hours before we want a delivery to see what the wait time is. It is always worth the wait. Enjoy!!

 

[felice]

The takeaway options for various foods must also be checked out if you fancy food being delivered to your room - there's lots of choice around. Haus of Pizza is one that comes to mind right now, though there are others.

Roy's in Garden Walk. We go every time we are there.

Kind of missed this earlier since I'm an occasional [correction] lurker here. But.......

I looked around for where they might have this, and I'd think the former ESPNZone would probably be it. Now it's covered with Marvel scenes.

I was trying to understand how they could be so inexpensive. It's apparently the volume, which allows them to negotiate on ingredient prices. They also have a central commissary where they make a lot of what they sell that gets baked at their retail locations. This was from 2019, but it says that their cost for their potato balls is 5 cents each via automation, although it used to be 50 when they were making them by hand.

And “automation allows us to grow,” he added, noting they now produce the bakery’s famous potato balls at their central commissary for 5 cents apiece, compared with 50 cents apiece before by hand. Further, they recently installed a bun and roll line from WP Bakery Group and operate a line of 140-quart Hobart continuous mixers with a depositor on the end of the line, just for automated sponge cake production.​

When I've carried Porto's bags, I've been asked where I got them. It was like people wouldn't be surprised if Porto's kept on expanding way past LA County. I remember someone in Anaheim who seemed surprised that I had a bag, and asked where I got it. It didn't sound like she had heard of the Buena Park location.

There was much "omg where did you get that?!" heard at D23 after the DTD location was announced and panel attendees got some free Porto's lol

That location is going to be very busy even by Porto's standards when it opens.
