The Great Gonzo's Pandemonium Pizza Parlor

The Great Gonzo's Pandemonium Pizza Parlor is an abandoned concept for a Muppet-themed restaurant for Disney-MGM Studios in Walt Disney World. The concept was to create a restaurant run by Gonzo and Rizzo.Jim Hill Media "You will believe that a Pig can fly. (Frogs too!)" by Jim Hill, February 18, 2004
Part of the original concept was to have animatronic Muppet rats deliver pizza to the tables by way of a "train track" system. Other features from the concept included Gonzo being heard crawling through the duct work along the ceiling, video screens depicting classic Muppet clips as well as the pandemonium in the kitchen (featuring Gonzo, Rizzo and the Swedish Chef), and the occasional explosion, blowing open the doors of the kitchen sending clouds of smoke and chicken feathers into the dining room.
The walls of the restaurant, similar to the lobby of Muppet*Vision 3D, would have been covered with recreations of props from Muppet productions, as well as various sight gags. Visible to the patrons, an animatronic Swedish Chef would have been placed in the back of the restaurant making pizza.Marcelo Vignali's LinkedIn August 11, 2023 
The space originally intended for the restaurant became Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano. The concept of a pizza restaurant run by a Muppet, specifically Rizzo, was revisited in late 2016 with PizzeRizzo.
