Great Pizza, a little limited menu, but they will work out the pizza, the place is nice half a block off the main road, so this gives you tranquility, and not all the traffic around Tamarindo. Pricewise vs Quality is very good.

If you like good pizza, don't bother. I have yet to eat good pizza anywhere in Costa Rica. Expensive, small portions, overpriced & mediocre flavor.

I came here with my boyfriend and some friends after a day of surfing the waves in Tamarindo. I loved it. Everyone love it actually. Great pizza, fantastic prices, and most importantly an amazing service provided by the wait staff. So friendly and ready to answer all of our questions. I would say it was the best restaurant we ate... More

This place was recommended to us & I am very thankful. Would not have found it otherwise as its not on the main street. The Pizza is thin crust & very authentic Italian and super delish! Prices are very reasonable too, approx. $10 a pizza and they are decent sized, 2 could share 1. Will return here on next visit... More

The open decor and beautiful use of wood in this restaurant are very appealing and the pizzas continue to be excellent with a Neapolitan thin, chewy crust, and fresh toppings. Recommend for those with and without children.

Nuff said, try it out. Super thin crust pizza. Don't order one to share.. you'll want it all for yourself

You won't be disappointed. Great thin crust pizza with fantastic selection of local and regular toppings. Down to earth staff that aim to please. Prompt service and a wonderful vibrant open atmosphere. We visit 2 or 3 times a week because it's so good and economical.

Perfect size pizza and great ambiance but maybe not the locals hang out. Seemed to have a great international clientele. We loved it, regardless.
