Scanning the last few dozen posts of this thread:

it looks like ravioli is NOT always offered; however, there typically seems to be some kind of veggie pasta on transatlantic lunch/dinner flights, whether ravioli, tortellini, lasagna, or girasole.

If I forget to double check, the special meal on the return somehow isn't there. I suspect that when I request it, they only put in the request for the first leg, but maybe it isn't loaded.
The ratee of missed special meals (on transcon J) is about 1 in 3. Bring a back up even if you order it and don't want to be without an option.

My point being, different people have very different expecations / preferences regarding pizza, and so it's hard to use unspecific descriptions like "good / bad". I certainly found the AA pizza to be quite superior to that at some famous US-based pizza chains (on the ground).

When you are trying to cover so many parameters, taste is usually the first casualty.

First Class AA International Seafood Special Meal Option?
Hi,
I am wondering if AA has Seafood special meal option on their first class international flight. Do I have to request that by phone? or they has seafoods on their menu. The flight I am looking is LHR-DFW.
Thanks.

Although there's no seafood special meal, they do indeed typically have some seafood on the menu. The appetizer is frequently (in fact nearly always) shrimp and smoked salmon. There are usually four main dishes to choose from, and one of the choices is usually seafood of some kind.

Otherwise no, but as others have said, there is usually a fish or seafood option as main course and the first couse is always smoked salmon and shrimp.

DFW-CDG-DFW Special meal availability
A search did not turn up any useful answers for me, my apologies if I miss something obvious.
I just called AA to order a special meal (vegetarian) for my upcoming trip in 10 days only to be told that there was no special meal option at all for these flights.
The website seems to say differently but the person (very nice and polite) told me that no special meal was served.

Since I am at the airport tomorrow, I will ask someone there, but I was curious if someone had direct experience with this.

Definitely call back. Vegetarian option is available on this flight. It is also available in F or J domestically and I have at times called and gotten someone at the EXP desk who did not even know that.

The webpage says "Special Meals are not available in our main cabin on domestic U.S. flights. ". Transcons are the exception.
