Carnival Pizzeria del Capitano Premium Pizza Menu and Prices
Carnival Cruise Line is well known for offering complimentary pizza onboard, but there can also be additional premium pizza choices available for an extra charge. This Pizzeria del Capitano Premium Pizza menu shows three upgraded options — Meat Lover’s, Garlic Shrimp and Hawaiian BBQ Chicken — priced at $6 each.
These premium pizzas are separate from the standard complimentary Pizzeria del Capitano selections and offer passengers additional toppings and flavor combinations when they want something beyond the regular pizza menu.

Pizzeria del Capitano Premium Pizza Menu
The Premium Pizza menu photographed onboard lists three specialty pizzas, with each selection priced at $6.
The choices are:
- Meat Lover’s – Pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, ham, meatballs, fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce
- Garlic Shrimp – Three-cheese blend, mozzarella, onion and cilantro
- Hawaiian BBQ Chicken – Fresh mozzarella, sweet pineapple and red onion
The menu states that a 20% service charge will automatically be added to the order.
Guests with food allergies are also instructed to inform their server.
Meat Lover’s Pizza – $6
The Meat Lover’s is easily the most meat-heavy option on the premium menu.
It combines:
- Pepperoni
- Italian sausage
- Bacon
- Ham
- Meatballs
- Fresh mozzarella
- Tomato sauce
With five different meats, this is a substantial step up from a basic pepperoni pizza and is clearly aimed at passengers looking for a heavily topped option.
Garlic Shrimp Pizza – $6
The Garlic Shrimp pizza is the seafood option on the premium menu.
According to the photographed menu, it includes:
- Three-cheese blend
- Mozzarella
- Onion
- Cilantro
The menu identifies it as Garlic Shrimp, although shrimp is not separately listed in the printed ingredient description. Since the photograph is the primary source, we have reproduced the description exactly as displayed rather than adding ingredients that are not specifically printed on the sign.
Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Pizza – $6
The third premium choice is Hawaiian BBQ Chicken.
The menu lists:
- Fresh mozzarella
- Sweet pineapple
- Red onion
As with the Garlic Shrimp pizza, the name identifies the pizza as Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, while the shorter ingredient description printed underneath lists only the ingredients above.
How Much Does Carnival Premium Pizza Cost?
All three pizzas on this Premium Pizza menu are priced at $6 each.
A 20% service charge is automatically added, bringing the total to $7.20 per pizza before any other applicable charges.
The three choices shown are:
- Meat Lover’s: $6
- Garlic Shrimp: $6
- Hawaiian BBQ Chicken: $6
These prices reflect the menu photographed onboard and can change, so passengers should always check the current menu during their sailing.
Is Regular Carnival Pizza Still Free?
Yes. Carnival continues to list its regular onboard pizzeria as complimentary.
The standard Pizzeria del Capitano menu includes several familiar pizzas such as Margherita, Funghi, Pepperoni, Quattro Formaggi and Prosciutto.
The $6 choices photographed here are specifically labeled “Premium Pizza,” so passengers do not need to pay $6 simply to get Carnival’s regular pizza.
That distinction is important because seeing a priced pizza menu onboard could easily give the impression that Carnival has begun charging for all pizza.
What Is on the Regular Pizzeria del Capitano Menu?
Carnival’s standard Pizzeria del Capitano menu includes:
- Margherita – Tomato sauce, basil and fresh mozzarella
- Funghi – Tomato sauce, mushroom and fresh mozzarella
- Pepperoni – Tomato sauce, pepperoni and fresh mozzarella
- Quattro Formaggi – Roasted garlic, Gorgonzola, provolone, Parmesan and fresh mozzarella
- Prosciutto – Roasted garlic, rucola, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella
These are part of Carnival’s regular complimentary pizzeria menu rather than the $6 premium menu shown in the photo.
Which Carnival Ships Have Pizzeria del Capitano?
Carnival’s current dining information lists Pizzeria del Capitano on several ships across the fleet.
These include:
- Carnival Dream
- Carnival Firenze
- Carnival Horizon
- Carnival Luminosa
- Carnival Magic
- Carnival Panorama
- Carnival Radiance
- Carnival Spirit
- Carnival Sunrise
- Carnival Sunshine
- Carnival Venezia
- Carnival Vista
- Mardi Gras
Carnival uses different names for its pizza venue on some other ships. For example, Carnival Celebration uses Miami Slice rather than Pizzeria del Capitano.
The exact menu, operating hours and availability of premium selections can vary by ship and sailing.
Pizzeria del Capitano vs. Cucina del Capitano
Despite their similar names, Pizzeria del Capitano and Cucina del Capitano are different Carnival dining venues.
Pizzeria del Capitano is Carnival’s casual pizza venue, while Cucina del Capitano is a sit-down Italian restaurant available on select Carnival ships.
Cucina del Capitano serves a much broader Italian menu, with appetizers, pasta, entrées and desserts. Pizzeria del Capitano is focused on freshly prepared pizza and is designed as a much quicker, more casual dining option.
For passengers researching Carnival restaurants before their cruise, it is worth keeping the two names separate.
Are the $6 Premium Pizzas Worth Trying?
The main advantage of the premium menu is variety.
Carnival’s regular complimentary pizza menu already provides several choices, so passengers who simply want a slice of pizza do not need to spend extra money.
The premium selections make more sense for someone specifically interested in toppings that are not available on the standard menu. Meat Lover’s adds several different meats, Garlic Shrimp provides a seafood-based alternative, and Hawaiian BBQ Chicken offers a sweeter combination built around pineapple.
At $6 plus the automatic 20% service charge, these are relatively inexpensive compared with a full specialty dining meal, but whether they are worth purchasing will depend largely on whether one of the premium combinations appeals to you more than the complimentary choices.
