“ UPDATE: Loved it so much, went back. Tried a different slice: Truffle, mushroom, habanero/honey, basil, NY style, also excellent. Also Antonella was there, perfect attention.Hesitant to try, as rarely can a place in Mexico execute a "thick crust, deep" pizza. However, passing one day tried a sample and decided to try, also because of how nice Florencia was. Upon arrival last night, was greeted in the most accommodating manner by Antonella who seated us in the outdoor patio, then moved us inside once the rain started. Ordered the NY STYLE truffle mushroom basil slice with burrata cream topping. Oregano, red pepper and oregano are set on table as additional condiments for one to customize. The slice was Excellent! Indeed, it's was around 15 usd at current exchange rate, but the quality of the ingredients warrant this. The cabernet glass was 5 usd (a good value but unremarkable, a Mexican vineyard?) which did not detract from the food quality/taste. Lastly, it is rare these days to find friendly, fast, and prompt service like that given by Antonella. The other young lady serving (name?) was also excellent as she also kept an eye on our table. The Margarita on rocks was great too (taste/mix) but a little weak, but, will continue coming back. Strongly recommend ”
“ They absolutely lived up to the great reviews. Everything was delicious, service was quick, and the habanero honey was the perfect addition. ”
“ My sisters live here and recommended we try this place. At first glance at the menu it seemed a little pricey for a slice in Mexico, but it is not just A slice, and it is well worth it. The pizza starts as your basic margherita for 95 pesos, up to 300 pesos for their most extravagant with a burrata ball on top. Lots of options with truffle flavor. The service was AWESOME. The pizza, incredible. One slice is a dinner. So I ordered two, and my wife the pasta. Everything was absolutely delicious. Did I mention the staff? There were 3 girls all very attentive and muy amable. Drinks were AWESOME too. All looked like pieces of art. I will be back. ”
“ Great venue... is just minutes from the beach. Very nice place to go eat and relax. The New York style pizza is huge make sure you order accordingly. The Doug is excellent and has great tasty. I took the pictue at the end 2 minutes down the road walking... ”
“ We absolutely loved this place. For one the service was exceptional. The waitress and staff were attentive and provided us with good advice on what to order. It is also pet friendly and we were able to enjoy our meal in the comfort air conditioned zone. The pizzas were great! You get 2 options: the Detroit or New York and then select your toppings and dressings. One slice is plenty! The drinks were also tasty. Nice place to try and chill environment. ”
“ Fun, laid-back pizza and pasta spot off the strip and right by Calle 38's cute beach. Great menu, i couldn't decide what to get so got both pizza and pasta which was a mistake as they were so huge (you can take away leftovers) but both were really nice. Genuinely good NY-style slice with slow fermented dough, and the vodka pasta was creamy and tasty. You can add loads of toppings so I would have definitely come back to try more if I stayed for longer. Good strong margaritas and friendly service. ”
“ Could not stop coming back here. It’s a rare place in the area that actually sources high quality ingredients packed with flavor. The only warning is: everything is quite sweet, which I get, it’s a crowd pleaser, but rough if you’re trying to keep the calories low. But the vibes, the impeccable service, and super tasty menu is fantastic and 100% recommend you eat that sweet pizza and get a Cynar spritz! ”
“ This pizza was fantastic, we are always on the hunt for some good pizza and this place delivered!! We tried both the Detroit style and New York style both delicious but Detroit is sensational. We must have ate here 4/6 nights of our trip. Most importantly, the service received was second to none such a friendly team. Massive shoutout to Fernando who greeted us every time we came here. He was very friendly and attentive and we recommended loads of stuff to do in town. Stop by this place on the way to the beach, or make it a trip entirely for it, either way you won’t be disappointed. From with love Anthony and Bethany ”
