“Causal, fun, great drinks and loved the pizza”
Review of La Rustica Alcala

Casual restaurant at the top of Macedonio Alcala, maybe a 5 minute walk up the hill from the Santo Domingo church. The pizza is very good (and they sell individual slices from a window beside their pizza oven), and prices are too very good – much lower than other pizzerias I saw. Their drinks too are quite good (ask for a Mescal margarita – yum). This is a mom and pop style simple Italian restaurant with low prices – a great place if you are tiring of Oaxacan food or travelling on a budget. While I also ate at the more upscale Vieja Lira pizzeria, I definitely prefer the simpler, cheaper, warmer and more fun Rustica.

I was really hungry while walking back to the hotel after a long afternoon in town, and wanted something good and quick - then I saw the pizza slices in their glass window case. I had their mushroom pizza-so good! They heat it up for you in the big oven and serve it to you on a paper plate. It was so good, I got two more slices! I also really like the thin crust. At $15 pesos a slice, a good deal too.

We needed a late night snack and wandered into Pizza Rustica. We ordered a mushroom pizza and a Bolognesa Pasta. The food was really good but the place suffered from a bit of deferred maintenance. A little dingy. It was like eating in one of those black and white photos of 1940's Trattoria in Rome.

A few days latter we walked past a newer Pizza Rustica where the owner of both restaurants works each night. Much better surroundings. Will try this place next time.

Stop in for a pie or get a slice or two to go from the window. Good pizza with crisp thin crust, great location on Macedonio Alcala, just a few blocks from Templo Santo Domingo. Surprisingly good margaritas too!

Not the best, but one of the better pizzerias in Oaxaca. The quality has definitely gone down in the last few years, but they offer enormous pizzas, albeit not particularly appetising pizzas, for home delivery, which can be handy. That said - you could definitely do better!!
