One of the newest menu items that can be ordered from Shanghai Disneyland's Toy Box Café is the Alien Spicy Seafood Pizza, which Toy Story fans will recognize comes in the shape of the face of a squeeze toy green alien.
The pizza is arranged with cheese, pineapple, black olives and a few other ingredients in such a way that the face of the cartoon alien is recognizable.
The Toy Box Café is one of the newest expansions at Shanghai Disney Resort, which also includes a toy box-inspired adventure through Andy’s backyard. At the cafe, a range of other character-inspired eats are available, including a waffle snack that reminds of Toy Story 3's Lots-O-Huggin’ teddy bear.
