Delicious pizzas reminds me of a nice wood fired pizza in CM…

Carrying artisanal pizzas, two rotating craft beers, and salads and soda, this intriguingly named pizza stand sits near the carousel (or merry-go-round). The pizza is delicious—it's what you'd expect from a craft pizza shop, not the Zoo or Safari Park. It must be cooked in a stone oven. Plenty of shaded outdoor seating options nearby.
The Barking Deer, a restaurant located in the Safari Park, offers a delicious pizza experience for its visitors. The restaurant offers a family meal that includes two medium-sized pizzas, a Caesar salad, and four drinks for $49.99. Although the meal is meant for a family of four, it can be stretched to accommodate more people.
The pizzas have a delicious and flavorful crust that is cooked outside in a gas-fired brick oven. The cheese is melted just right, and the crust has a crackery texture that is enjoyable to eat. The toppings include a generous layer of mozzarella cheese and five large pepperonis on the pepperoni pizza. However, pepperoni lovers may be disappointed with the small number of pepperonis on the pizza.
The restaurant's location is conveniently situated near the carousel, providing entertainment for children while waiting for the pizzas. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the tables are plentiful. The pizzas are filling and reasonably priced, with each pizza costing around $20 for a medium-sized pie.
Overall, the Barking Deer provides a surprisingly tasty pizza experience in a family-friendly environment. For theme park food, it is a budget-friendly option and a great alternative to buying burgers or other fast food options.
