“Great pizza, super friendly service in cozy space”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

Cozy space with only a few tables but excellent service and great pizza that was freshly made. The owner was very friendly and attentive- I ordered a fresh papaya juice and it was so refreshing I ordered another one, and when he saw me finish the second glass he filled me up again for free ;) Try the Peruvian rocoto pepper on your pizza, was warned that it's super spicy but maybe I got a less spicy one since I didn't feel it.

“Better than Italy's pizza”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 13, 2012

OMG...Best pizza ever...Was very disappointed with pizza in Italy and was not expecting much from Peru. Totally surprised at how delicious the pizza at La Pizza Carlo was.
Small restaurant with about 4-5 tables. Seems family operated. Very friendly.Best recommendation from our Tour Director.

“Friendly, Honest, and Great Food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

This is a tiny hole-in-the-wall gem in Cusco. We had a great lunch here. We watched the pizza being handmade from fresh ingredients (he even shredded the cheese by hand), then baked in the wood oven.

The menu is varied and extensive - look for the Glossary of translated terms on one of the front pages.

They don't accept credit cards - just soles and US dollars. The owner, proactively, figured out the amounts due and change to be given in both currencies before we paid - proving that he used a fair and decent exchange rate, We were impressed.

“Great Pizza & very friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 31, 2012 via mobile

After walking around Cusco with people trying to push us into their restaurants for about an hour my partner and I found Carlos Pizza half by accident but am so glad we did. The restaurant has a very homely feel and the pizza oven added to the warmth. The pizzas were great and the service very friendly. I'm from Australia and said to my partner when I left that if ever back in Cusco again I'm coming back here!

“Lovely Little Pizza house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 31, 2012

We had a pizza in a different restaurant a few days before and the base was all wrong it was like a biscuit base. I was telling people in my tour group about it and they told me to go here that they did proper italian type pizza, and they were correct. My husband and I shared a caesar salad to start and then we each had a pizza. The food was all delicious, reasonably cheap. The staff were very friendly and really nice. Anyone in Cusco wants a pizza. go here.
