One of the highlights of Universal Studios outside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was definitely Lard Lads Donuts. I don't watch the Simpsons, but I appreciate giant delicious donuts, so I'm a fan. The mascot was adorable and the donut we got was huge and big enough for three people to share, plus I'm a sucker for pink frosting and sprinkles. This was a great place for a reasonably priced pick-me-up. read more

Yay! The infamous big pink Homer Simpson Donut was one of my must-trys going to Universal and it did not disappoint. :) There's a long line at this stand, and it wasn't only till after I realized you could purchase the $5 big pink donut at Moe's, the gift shop, and various other places in Krustyland. Still, the staff at this stand were super friendly and I didn't mind the wait too much. They have the big pink, a few different types of normal size donuts, and soft serve ice cream. Prices are decent compared to other places at Universal. I split the big pink with my brother and it can definitely be shared between 2-4 people. The donut was actually very soft, a good dense bite, with sweet icing. I didn't expect it to taste as good as it did because I assumed it was simply novelty, but it was a winner! read more

I was one of those suckers that couldn't resist trying a donut from Lard Lad, since I grew up with the Simpsons. My friend and I split the D'oh-nut (Small Pink, $2.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xix6F1e8TDTYwlbNoEEHXA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg), and sadly, it was dry. The pink frosting with sprinkles was delicious though, so we just ate the frosting part and threw the rest away. They also have the Large Pink D'oh-nut for only $5, but it looked way too big for 2 people to finish. They also have a variety of other donuts (including maple bacon), so those might be less dry. In any case, this was worth trying once, but I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Lard Lad Donuts - D'oh-nut (Small Pink, $2.99) - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is definitely an instagram worthy place, mainly if you get the Big Pink! The donut was nothing too special. There was a TON of icing and the quality of the dough was cooked really well (not too hard, but not raw). We cut it into 4 equal pieces and it felt like each of us basically ate one regular donut. For the amount that it was, it was a fair price. It was a cool experience and we got great pics but I wouldn't buy it a second time. read more

Wow our expectation of this donut was exceeded. The big pink was delicious and was not as expensive as we thought! It was $7 and change and it was so big and good I couldn't stop eating it. We thought it would be just for a picture but wow was it good. Definitely recommend getting one when you are in Simpson's land. read more

Lard Lad Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

There's nothing like a Lard Lad doughnut on a warm Florida day in Springfield to make your visit complete. Want a special souvenir? Buy the $4.99 Lard Lad Giant Doughnut in a box to-go. You can share it with friends or family, or just eat it by yourself for a major sugar rush. They also serve ice cream here if doughnuts aren't your go to dessert. read more

Went specifically looking for the "big pink". It was well worth the search. Fresh and big enough for 4. Sweet but not overkill. Would totally eat again. I was never a Simpsons watcher but that didn't stop me. read more

We got the giant donut "The Big Pink" and it was surprisingly good. Nothing too special but the bread was soft, the icing was sugary and substantial, and it tasted surprisingly fresh. I would recommend if you're getting a dessert for the fam. read more

I've been always tempted to try it, every time I go to Universal. But this time I couldn't resist. To make it short, that one time was enough for my entire life. Lol. Too sweeet. Not great quality. read more

Lard Lad Donuts - Donut Sandae - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The long line hints of yummy food ahead! Was devastated when we were just about to reach the counter, they announced they were out of the Big Pink donut!! How could they be out! It was only mid day! Bought one regular sized pink donut. With all theme park food, we try to lower our expectations. But wow, this was way above expectations! It was super duper yummy! Regretted not buying more! This donut does not come cheap (about 2.5 for a regular donut). Well worth the calories consumed and bucks spent! read more

Lard Lad Donuts - Yummlicious donut - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Believe the hype and be sure to order a big pink. The donut was tasty and moist and the icing was creamy and sweet but not overly sweet. Very tasty treat. read more

This place made my sons so happy. They are HUgE Simpsons fans and these donuts were big and over the top just like the show.

On our annual trip to Universal we find ourselves uncovering something new each visit. This time around we tried the big pink donut which my husband and I shared. It is definitely a must try at least once. read more

This was definitely way better than I expected! Sometimes food at big theme parks are just overpriced crappy food but these were surprisingly good! If you're a Simpsons fan and come to Springfield at Universal Studios, you can't not have one!! and lucky for me, the line wasn't very long. The Big Pink is a must, you can't go wrong with a giant doughnut that's covered in pink icing with sprinkles on it! It tastes just like a Krispy Kreme doughnut just much much bigger! So good! read more

Call me sucker for the Simpsons but I truly loved the donuts from here. I ordered the Big Pink, which was reasonably priced, not only for being inside of a theme park but for the size. When you see these babies you know you'll need to recruit friends or embrace the sugary coma which comes from single handedly eating a donut the size of your head. Was praying it would be good and oh it was. Great dough, with the perfect amount of pink frosting. Our group bought two Big Pinks. Was a little melty at the park due to the heat which I enjoyed. At the hotel the next morning, still great. They had a few other standard styles to choose from as well as ice cream for those hot days at the park but I will be returning for my love of the Pink. I think there's a joke here somewhere but I will refrain. Donut lovers and Simpsons fans alike, don't pass up Lard Lads!! read more

This place is known for their big pink donut but I actually prefer their doh'nut sundae! You get a regular sized pink frosted donut cut in half with soft serve ice cream in between and a topping of your choice. I always go with hot fudge. Although sometimes they are out and then I choose Oreo. It will set you back $6 but sooo worth it. And the size is perfect for splitting between 2 people. read more

Lard Lad Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

It really doesn't get much better than a HUGE, delicious donut for a reasonable price! More importantly - this donut counts as a snack credit (yes, you are reading that right) on the Universal Dining Plan and can be easily shared between 2-4 people. Comes in a box for easy transport and has a surprisingly delicious flavor and texture despite it's large surprise. Would not have believed in it's quality if I had not tried it myself! read more

HOLY MOLEY DONUTS. I'm a sucker for a great donut and when I heard that Lard Lad had massive donuts with pink icing, I quickly jumped in line without hesitation and next thing I knew, I owned a new pink giant. We shared it amongst ourselves, each of us enjoying the sweet treat one bite at a time. It was delicious, and for only $5, definitely worth it. read more

Lard Lad Donuts - The pink classic. - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We got the small strawberry donut and of the 3 different strawberry frosted donuts we tried during our trip this place had the worst. The donut was hard and dry and had no special flavor. I definitely would not consider coming back when there are much better strawberry donuts! read more

Ran out of donuts but didn't put it on their sign so you stand in line for 10 minutes to learn they don't have the item you want.

Got a donut from here. Reasonably priced. Pretty good donut. Fast service. I'd definitely snack on these again if I'm back in town!

I get a donut every morning. The donut was definitely more of a gimmick then tasty. Was more of a giant Cakey donut. It was good for a picture but not really my thing for eating read more

Lard Lad Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I was sure this place was a gimmick, but I gave it a try because Homer and I both love donuts! Just a regular grocery store donut, slightly dry and nothing too exciting. I still enjoyed it because, like I said, I love donuts, just don't expect anything brilliant. I was right, total gimmick. read more

I did not have high hopes for the big pink donut. I was worried that it would be dry, gross, and too big to finish. I was completely wrong about everything! This was one of the best donuts I have ever had. It was moist and had just the right amount of sweetness. It was definitely big, but split between two people, it was just fine. I enjoyed my donut and would gladly eat another one again! read more

Donuts were really good! Definitely try the pink one and standard glazed while you're there. Next time I'd like to grab the big pink, looked really good but they're huge! Only donut I'd say to skip is the one with fruity pebbles on top....little too sweet for me and they aren't crunchy. The woman at the counter was also really nice and helped with getting the food quickly so we could move on to the next ride! read more

A big pink sprinkled donut?!?!?! Who could ever be disappointed? Not I! This was by far the best donut I have ever had. It was fluffy, sweet and super delicious! For $5, I was able to split this comfortably between 4 of us. I would highly recommend when going to Universal, especially if you're a donut fan. Homer would be proud. read more

Lard Lad Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

A legitimately good doughnut that somehow rivals some of the best I've had in recent years. I wasn't sold on the first bite, but kept eating to discover it's the perfect combination of moist (why does it have to be that word?), doughy, and sweet. A fork and knife are recommended due to the massive size. We ended up getting an extra to take home for breakfast the next day, which I think is the highest praise possible for theme park food. Protip: Despite the pink coloring, the frosting is a vanilla flavor. I generally shy away from pink-colored sweets since I don't like strawberries and am glad I took the plunge on this dessert. read more

Do not waste your money and time at this donut place. Worst experience buying a donut I've ever had. To start I was using cash and the price was $8.50. I had $8.42. I asked them if the could spare 8 cents expecting that they would be a normal human being and just let me get it anyways. Instead he said no. What person really needs 8 cents for god sake it's 8 f***ing cents! I then had to wait for my friend to buy something so I could 8 cents of his change lmao. So I went back after counting my money to make sure I had enough and asked for the donut again. I handed him the money and he handed back telling me that the price was 8 50 and I didn't have enough. So I left as the line was getting longer and counted money again and guess what! It was exactly $8.50. So I get in line for the 3rd time with a even bigger line. Once it's my turn AGAIN I ask for the donut AGAIN and he realized he counted wrong. He just ignored the fact it was my 3rd time waiting in line and didn't apologize for the inconvenience and handed me the most deformed donut I ever saw. The icing was practically melted and the hole wasn't in the middle it was on the very edge. After all the trouble I was expecting what I saw other people eat a big round normal looking donut but it was just a watery deformed melted peice of bread. So I finally sit down hoping at least it would still taste good. Guess what. Worst freaking donut I've ever had. It was stale and tasted like old bread with water on top. My friend even said it was horrible and he had already had the donut before and he said it was way better the first time. I hope and pray you don't waste your time and money at this donut place. I felt like I bought something for nothing. It's like buying a trash bag with a bunch o sh*t in for 8.50 read more

I'm awfully surprised there aren't many reviews for this but I guess this is a start at least. I got their 6-inch cake sized donuts for $5 and didn't have high expectations until the next day when my friends and I decided to eat it. Mind you that we were going to save it for dessert but never got the chance to have it so we ate it for breakfast. The donut was better than we expected and the frosting was still good even though it was refrigerated overnight. I can only imagine how it would've tasted the day of! Anyways, to conclude, I wish I bought another donut to take back with me to New York. Unfortunately, I don't think I plan on going to Universal anytime soon. I will, however, ask my friends to get me one if they ever go =) read more

Lard Lad Donuts - The largest donut I've ever had and best $5 spent! I'd say this is about the size of a 6-inch cake - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Got a regular pink sprinkled donut . The donut was good as any other place . The hype was that it is the ones we see Homer usually eat and it is located in Springfield in Universal Studios . They also have milk if your craving some milk with that donut.The only bad thing is the line was pretty long about 20 minute wait but I did go during high season . I'll definitely be back for the big donut ! read more

Lard Lad Donuts - The well known pink donut in Springfield loved by all especially homer and chief . - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Totally captures the spirit of The Sinpsons. I had their Big Pink (by myself) and it's the most I've felt like Homer in a long time. The donut does not try to be anything special, and as a result the creamy sugary taste is very apparent and extra satisfying. Just dough, sprinkles, and frosting. read more

I most say that every time we go to UO/IA, we have to have at least 2 donuts. One to start of the trip, and 1 to close it out. These giant pink donuts just are amazing how good they taste. I want to try one of the giant cookie crumb donuts that I have heard about. read more

These doughnuts are actually really tasty! I wasn't expecting much but got way more than we paid for! The giant doughnut was $5.99 and I'm most definitely going to get another one before we leave here!!! read more

The kids loved it, they thought it was so funny! And the big pink donut was really good, not dry or hard at all, I was surprised. $5 a piece wasn't too bad I thought. It was more than enough for a family of 4!! Definitely a must stop just to say you had one! read more

Lard Lad Donuts - Yummyyyyyy! - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Finished off the day with a Lard Lad Big Pink doughnut. The line was short and was able to get to the front quickly and order. The turnaround time was good and the price was not bad at all. My wife and I split it and both were impressed that at the end of the day it was still soft and the frosting was not dried out. Would stop in here again next time we are at Universal. Give one a shot and you would not be disappointed. read more

Lard Lad Donuts - The Big Pink - Donuts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Waited travel to Universal for weeks on end just to visit Lard Lad Donuts! I figured the Big Pink would taste just like an average pink frosted doughnut but it was far from that! The infamous Big Pink was everything you want in a doughnut, fresh, soft, and everything you imagined....oh yeah, also probably the cheapest thing you can get to eat in the park! Be sure to pick yourself up a Big Pink and take a picture with a lard Lad himself! Enjoy y'all!!! read more

OMG...the donut sundae. I love donuts, and I love soft serve ice cream, but never would have thought to put them together until I had it here. You take a yummy donut (yeast based, but a bit thicker than Krispy Kreme, which I liked). Slice it in half, and load it up with swirl soft serve ice cream. Top with the other half of the donut, hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry and voila, you have heaven in a dish. Finding a seat nearby to enjoy your confection can be a little difficult, but even if you have to plop down on the concrete, find a place to sit down so that you can enjoy this dose of pure deliciousness. It's a treat that Homer would lose his mind over. read more

I was hesitant at first and thought it would have been a waste of money. I wouldn't have thought that the donut would taste good but it actually did and now I'm craving for more and I'm not even a fan of donuts! The donut itself wasn't too doughy and overly sweet. Just perfect. For $5 I thought it was a good deal especially for a theme park. It was more than enough for 3 people to share read more

Wouldn't let me get sprinkles on my wafer cone! They only allow sprinkles on their sugar cones. What kind of crazy policy is that?
