From Chicago, first time at PO today. Here are some thoughts:…read more -I've been wanting to try the pizzeria after going to the main Oliva restaurant, which is located nearby, just a block away. -This is one of the nicest pizzerias I've ever been to. It has a very bright interior with white decor and big windows that let you watch people walk by on the sidewalk. -We ordered two salads (wedge and spinach) and two pizzas (Margarita and pepperoni), and they were just right for 4 of us--1 man, 2 women, and 1 toddler who loves pizza. -The pepperoni pizza had a thinner crust, which was perfectly, lightly burnt. Great flavors, the best pepperoni pizza I've had in Merida. -The margarita had a medium crust, with a very nice light sauce, and delicious mozzarella cheese. It was also a very good pizza. -You've got to try this when you're in Merida. Service is good. Highly recommended!!

Pizza Oliva, located just a short walk from the flagship restaurant Oliva, lives up to the high standards of Okiva but serves mostly only pizza. It would be easy for you to come here and have a better pie than you could find in most cities in the world, and in Merida it is defintiely a contender for best pie. There are many pizza places worth trying and Pizza Oliva is at the top or near the top of that list, check it out! Happy eating from John Seeto!

MANY PEOPLE'S FAVORITE PIZZA IN MERIDA - Rafaello's, in the heart of Centro on Calle 60, is a…read morefavorite pizza spot for many in town. It makes sense, it is very cute inside, the servers are attentive, and the pizzas come out piping hot. That said, Merida is a very very saturated pizza market and it's likely if you ate your way around the city you might find other places you also like. The prices I think were a little high relative to other places you'd find not on Calle 60 (or 47), but they weren't ridiculous and I can see why some folks would call it their favorite in Merida. You should try it out and see how it moves you and share your experience for others. Happy eating from John Seeto!

It's a challenge being in Merida for sure, the ingredients are hard to get consistently, I remember one time I couldn't find basil at Chedraui for over 6 weeks. So it's not an easy place to build a pizza empire, that much is true, but the owners here clearly care about quality and try to offer the best Merida can offer. The prices are not crazy but Merida is a very pizza heavy city so it's really about what are you looking for. I get the impression the decor is going for a New York pizza place, which is in theme. I've only been once and got spotty service, but Merida is certainly overall a bit hard to find long term teams with perfect service. For some folks, especially those looking for something that reminds them of NY style, this will be their spot. If you are into the New York style of pizza its worth a try, noting in advance its hard to replicate NY style outside NY. But if you are into Detroit, Chicago, Neopolitan, Sicilian, or other styles, just be aware this is shooting for NY style, not those other variants.

An absolutely terrible experience from start to finish. The only single thing that was good the…read moreentire night was the first drink I ordered, the "Espíritu Playero." After that, everything went downhill. The food was a disappointment. The Bruschetta ai Funghi looked completely different from the menu photo--tasted okay, but it was incredibly dry. The gnocchi bolognese was just mediocre, definitely not worth the price. To make matters worse, the staff completely ignored my table after dropping off the food. I had zero follow-up, yet I clearly saw every other table around me receiving maximum attention. The service here is extremely selective and unprofessional. The drink situation was even worse. I ordered a Spanish white wine that was awful, so I asked to switch it for a sweet cocktail, the "Atardecer en Progreso." It was a disaster: it was bright green (even though mango/passion fruit is supposed to be yellow), and the bottom of the drink was incredibly bitter and undrinkable. When I pointed this out, the waitress just dismissed it, saying "that's how it is." To top it all off, they still charged me for the wrong drink they messed up. WARNING TO EXPATS AND TOURISTS: They use abusive and dishonest billing practices. My actual bill was $933 MXN (around $53.30 USD), but they ran my card for $61.82 USD without my consent, forcing a terrible exchange rate to pocket an extra $9. I went back to complain, and I was met by a clueless "supposed manager" because an actual, professional manager was nowhere to be found. Terrible customer service. TIP: If you are a foreigner, ALWAYS demand to pay in PESOS (local currency) on the card machine. Never let them select USD, or you will get ripped off. Avoid this place at all costs!

They had an entire page of their menu full of vegetarian options-- with protein! We had the stuffed squash and eggplant meshe. Both were fabulous. Then we decided to have the crepe de cajeta for dessert. Another excellent choice! It seems like it is more popular for dinner than for lunch, but we still enjoyed our meal and had great service. Oh, and a high chair with a tray for our son-- an added bonus! One caveat-- I speak enough Spanish that I had no problem ordering and interacting with our server. Not sure if they have an English menu or staff who can speak English to explain menu items. If you aren't super comfortable ordering in Spanish, use a translator on their online website before you go just in case.
