REVIEW: We're Going To Need 3–5 Business Days To Recover From This New Disney Hot Pocket

You probably could have never guessed it based on the name of our blog, but we LOVE Disney food here at DFB. While we have our favorite snacks, treats, and meals in all the Disney parks, we always get excited when Disney introduces new food items.

Baked Cheesy Biscuits

Disneyland has been on a roll with introducing new food items recently, and we have been thrilled to dig into lots of new treats. We are once again back with some more NEW snacks at Disneyland Resort, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Disneyland released some new snacks to celebrate the new Marvel movie, Captain America: Brave New World, and we are headed to Disney California Adventure Park to try some of them! Our first stop is Shawarma & More in the Avengers Campus. When we found out that Disneyland was introducing a pizza pocket, you know we had to give it a try! There are two different pizza pockets available: a Pepperoni Pizza Pocket ($10.49) and a Cheese Pizza Pocket ($9.99).

Shawarma & More

We decided to grab the Pepperoni Pizza Pocket for $10.49. It is pepperoni, mozzarella, and house-made marinara sauce wrapped in empanada dough. For starters, while the pizza pocket looks delicious, we were slightly underwhelmed by the size. For over $10, we were hoping for a bit bigger of a pocket. But does the taste make it worth it? Let’s dig in!

Pepperoni Pizza Pocket

Overall, this guy was super tasty and full of flavor. The pepperoni was in cubes throughout the pocket, so think more like sausage cubes versus flat pepperoni that you would find on a pizza. The cubed pepperoni made for a great texture in each bite. The dough was very flaky, and we thought the ratio of dough to filling was perfect.

Pepperoni Pizza Pocket

Our biggest complaint is that this snack isn’t served super hot. The cheese was not oozing, and we really think it would have tasted better if it had been fresh and hot. However, logistically, we know it won’t be served hot as you get it at a cart. We were also a bit confused by the sauce. The menu stated that it was a “house-made marinara sauce,” but it tasted like a ranch sauce with a tomato flavor. It is a bit vinegary tasting and has a tang to it. The sauce wasn’t bad, but we preferred the pizza pocket by itself.

A look inside!

We have finished our first snack and are now heading to Pym Test Kitchen to try two more treats! Pym Test Kitchen is also located in the Avengers Campus area of Disney California Adventure.

Pym Test Kitchen

We are starting with the Red Rage Wings, which you can get for $12.49. These are spicy chicken wings tossed in a habanero sauce and served with potato bites and ranch dressing.

They definitely did not lie about these wings being red! And they DEFINITELY live up to their name. We were incredibly impressed with how much spice they packed into these wings. Our eyeballs were burning, and they somehow managed to taste even hotter than they smelled.

If you can get past the immense amount of spice, the flavor is also really good on these wings. They’re a bit on the salty side but still very tasty. The chicken is juicy, with a lovely crunch on the outside. Even the tater tots are seasoned with a bit of spicy chili powder on top! Get ready for plenty of heat. We definitely devoured the ranch sauce for some reprieve from the heat.

These are not for the spicy-averse!

Finally, we are also trying the Red Gamma Gulp, which is also available at Pym Test Kitchen. We need something to save our mouths from the Red Rage Wings! The Red Gamma Gulp costs $7.29 and is a red velvet cold brew with cream cheese cold foam.

Red Gamma Gulp

You can definitely taste the red velvet flavor in this drink! The flavor of the cold brew also comes through slightly, but it is very heavy on the red velvet flavor. We didn’t get a lot of flavor from the cream cheese cold foam either. This won’t be your drink if you want lots of coffee flavor. But if you are looking for a tasty red velvet drink, you will probably really enjoy this!
