Archie's Scare Pig Pizza Facade Emerges at Studios

Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza construction changed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Thursday, November 12, 2026, according to reports, with scaffolding removed from part of the former PizzeRizzo building. As of Thursday, November 12, the removal reveals more of the facade for the restaurant planned for Monstropolis, the new land inspired by Monsters, Inc.

The reported change is visual, not operational: rows of scaffolding that had covered part of the building are now gone. The building is the former PizzeRizzo location, which is set to become Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza.

Monstropolis construction is continuing inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but this report only identifies the scaffolding removal at Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza as the notable update. Disney has not issued an official statement tied to this specific construction milestone.

What we know

• Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza — scaffolding has reportedly been removed from part of the facade.

• Monstropolis — the land is inspired by Monsters, Inc. and remains under construction.
• Thursday, November 12, 2026 — the construction update was reported on this date.

What it means for your trip

• Treat this as a construction progress marker, not a dining option you can plan around yet. Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza is not something to build into a Hollywood Studios food plan until Disney announces operating details.
• If you were counting on quick-service pizza in that corner of the park, keep using currently operating Hollywood Studios restaurants instead; the former PizzeRizzo space is still part of the Monstropolis work.
• Construction walls and visual changes can affect how that area feels during a park day, so give yourself a little extra walking patience around the work zone rather than scheduling tight back-to-back plans nearby.
• Once Disney announces an opening date or reservation/order details, SupaPark dining alerts can help you react quickly if the restaurant becomes part of your Hollywood Studios plan.
