Which is why I also think the garlic won't be an issue. It'll most likely just be seasoning in the sauce not fresh cloves wafting through the cabin.

Hopefully they'll pass out extra napkins and a handwipe -- I can just see people licking their fingers and then rubbing their hands on the seats.

Jose,
You indicate Y/C while I thought this was only Y class. Do you have internal communication suggesting this will be in business also?

You are correct pizzas will be served in Economy only. When I write "Y/C" it means just Economy/Coach. For Business I usually use "J" sorry for any confusion.

Oh dear. Uno jumped the shark at least 20 years ago.

It will be interesting to see what they serve. Uno's at ORD is a product totally unlike Uno's at Ohio and Wabash. In the best possible case, I expect it to be good, but not what one would get at Uno's.

At least you're not allergic to tomatoes, I am. It makes airline food difficult to begin with, even in Business on long haul flights, given the limited choices and that many sauces have a tomato base to them.
But good on United for what will likely be an improvement.

I mean, i get that they work well in an oven - but surely a nicer cold option would work just as well. Anyway, A for effort.

Uno's has been putting their name on frozen food for a while.. I expect it to be the same "meh" quality as that. But, to be fair, I think Chicago pizza is one of the more resilient dishes to the amount of transport and reheating required to serve on a plane. It's definitely the only kind of pizza I will ever consider touching as a leftover.

I'm excited to see this available! Pizza is the bomb, and it's my safe choice. Never met a pizza I couldn't eat. Props to UA for something unique for Y food.

Personally, I'll never purchase one of these, and I think there's a good chance they smell up the plane, making for an unpleasant flight for some of us. I'm glad UA is trying new things, this just isn't one I'm happy about.

Agreed. I like deep dish pizza but not some much Uno's.
frozen Uno's
frozen Uno's on a plane
IMHO the novelty is going to wear off very quickly. Kudos to UA for trying but they might have found a more successful direction.
