Our verdict

Average pizza in the most valuable air-conditioned room on the least comfortable island in the park. Buy the whole pie and take the upstairs seats.

The Fantastic Four-themed pizza counter on Marvel Super Hero Island, and the only substantial air conditioning on that plaza.

What it is

Cafe 4 is themed to the Baxter Building and serves pizza by the slice or the pie, pasta, meatball subs and salads from a counter, with a large indoor dining room upstairs. The food is unremarkable chain-quality pizza and the room is the point.

Marvel Super Hero Island has almost no shade, no other indoor space and two of the park's most physically demanding rides. Cafe 4 is where the members of your group who are not riding Hulk should be waiting, and where you should eat if the alternative is a bench in the sun.

Whole pies are the value play here. A family of four buying four individual meals will spend considerably more than the same four people buying one pie and a couple of drinks.

What to order

The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

  • Cheese pizza by the slice
  • Whole pepperoni pizza
  • Meatball sub
  • Caesar salad
  • Spaghetti and meatballs

Tips for Cafe 4

  • Buy a whole pie rather than individual slices if you are feeding three or more. The price difference is substantial.
  • This is the swap-out room for Hulk and Doctor Doom's. Park the non-riders here rather than on the plaza.
  • The dining room upstairs is much larger and quieter than the ground floor and most guests never go up.
  • Mobile order before you get in the Hulk queue and collect on the way out.

Cheese Pizza Slice

Cafe 4

$9.99

A large slice of cheese pizza from the counter in the Baxter Building on Marvel Super Hero Island, sold individually or as part of a whole pie.

Our take: Ordinary and useful. Buying the whole pie for a group is meaningfully cheaper than four slices, and the upstairs room is the only air conditioning on that plaza.

Cafe 4: common questions

Is Cafe 4 good?

The pizza is ordinary chain-standard and the pasta is worse. What makes it worth using is the large air-conditioned dining room on an island with no shade at all, and the whole-pie pricing, which is genuinely good value for a group.

Can you get vegetarian food at Cafe 4?

Yes - cheese pizza, a vegetable pie, salads and pasta options are all available. It is one of the easier counters in the park for a vegetarian to order from without a conversation.
