This place is doing well, the owner is from Italy and I spent a few minutes talking to him. He opened this establishment a few years back. I was craving pizza, and stopped by. The ambiance is luxury and modern, though the owner is a bit all over the place. Constantly walking outside, watching you eat, pacing all over the restaurant, etc. It was so much going on that it was hard for me to enjoy my food. I ordered the (Di Marri) seafood pizza. It came out shaped like a starfish, it was too much for me. The concept/idea was a good one, but it was way too doughy and flavorless. It was like a pizza and a calzone had a baby. I fought my way through eating it, as I do not like wasting food. It had shrimp, mussels, as well as calamari and scallops. While I was eating, the mosquitos were having a feast too. I was wearing adidas soccer pants, and these bad boys managed to bite me through my pants which is simply wild! I'd recommend buying citronella candles, or maybe saging the restaurant when opening and before closing. Simple methods to keep mosquitos out. The final straw was when a raccoon came into the restaurant, and the owner took out a bowl of food to feed it. This disgusted me, now I honestly love raccoons and have experience taking care of them during my time working as a wild animal rescue & zookeeper in Guatemala. Though, I am also big on sanitation and cleanliness. I don't think a raccoon should be inside a restaurant, where people are consuming food (major hazard) The raccoon should have been fed outside of the restaurant. All in all, a good spot, with big room for growth and improvement.
I have to say, pretty solid pizza for a place in Mexico. I ordered for delivery so I'm not able to testify to the dining experience. I ordered a margherita/cheese pizza and their "focaccia" which pretty much was a cheese-less pizza heavy on the tomato sauce and very heavy on the herbs. This is authentic, wood-fired pizza, napoli style. The crust was very good, razor thin, and soft. The pizza was a bit cold when it arrived to us and we had no medium to warm it up, which detracted from the experience, but it was still very tasty. The focaccia was interesting but I still had 2 massive slices. This food met its fate in the hotel fridge as we were not able to finish it but I'm glad we chose this for our order in meal.
What a great little find. The staff was very friendly and helpful as soon as we walked up. They made suggestions on what to get and were spot on. The only downside of the place was the mosquitoes. We all ate. I ate pizza, they ate my legs. The ambiance was relaxed and low key and just what I need after a long day at the beach.
The staff here was so welcoming and helpful, the location was beautiful and the food was amazing. I came in and didn't realize they were just about to open but they still gave me a table and treated me with extreme kindness. I'm trying to learn Spanish but it is terrible right now but they were incredibly nice about it and didn't judge me at all. They were very attentive and put a lot of care in to make sure I had a good experience. I would absolutely go back.
Good pizza and family owned! We came in and they were so nice. Good service! Good pizza! Good atmosphere! Easy parking! Easy night!
This place opens at 3PM!!! And yes, we waited til 3 PM though we were at the beach area since 11. Plenty of seats in the restaurant. Simple decorations. Easy access. If you need a parking spot, can park to the parking space close to the restaurant, just pay 200pesos. Pizza was amazing !!! The crust, Omggg so good. I legit ate more of the crust than the pizza fillings. The Waiter was very helpful, and took many pics for us! Overall I had an amazing experience. Definitely a 5/5 place
Super authentic pizzeria for Neapolitan style pizza. All the ingredients like flour and olive oils are imported from Italy and the cheeses and other ingredients are sourced locally. Worth it, give it a try if you're in the area.
Found them thanks to the Yelp checkin offer for a free beer with pizza purchase. Sooo glad yelpers have gotten this place right! Super chill environment, modern yet rustic decor, perfectly simple menu in both English and Spanish too. Everything we had was legit fire, the service was friendly and helpful as well. Only downside was that they charge an additional 5% to use a card instead of cash, but that's not enough for them to lose a star. Exceptional spot where our whole crew left happy, stuffed and would gladly go back in a heartbeat.
The pizza is amazing we went back a second time! The servers are very nice and attentive to us. We loved sitting on the patio to people watch.
One of the best wood fired pizzas we have had in a while. Tulum is not the first place I think for Great pizza But do not miss Boccanera! Amazing service, cool Italian vibes. so much fun!!
There was one night during our trip we wasted inside so to speak, but thanks to a quick fired idea of a quick fired pizza night, a couple pies saved us. They were good and I'm glad we tried it. Nothing in tulum is cheap but I felt this was a reasonable treat. Next time I'll be gettin a calzone for sure. The things look sound and smell incredible.
I am a pizza maker in San Diego and I eat pizza everywhere I travel. The pizza at Boccanera Tulum is among the best I've ever had. Truly authentic Neapolitan style and full of flavor. No matter where you are from, don't miss out on this dining experience. Dave Sono un pizzaiolo a San Diego e mangio pizza ovunque viaggio. La pizza al Boccanera Tulum è tra le migliori che abbia mai avuto. Veramente uno stile napoletano autentico e pieno di sapore. Non importa da dove vieni, non perdere questa esperienza culinaria. Dave

If you love pizza and you're in Tulum, this is the spot. Full stop. Boccanera is wild in the best way. A laid back wood fired pizza spot with a super cool, relaxed ambience and the friendliest energy. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and honestly I've never had anything like it. It's insanely good. Pair it with their habanero sauce and jalapeños and it is literally fire. Perfectly cooked, bold flavor, unforgettable. We also ordered the Caprese with apples, almonds, and beets and wow. Such a fresh and different take on a salad. Every ingredient tasted so clean and vibrant. My tummy was genuinely happy after this meal, which says a lot. It's not far from where we're staying near Azulik, which made it even better. The vibe is effortless, chill, and welcoming. Bonus points for the two local cats, who are absolutely adorable and add so much charm to the place. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the menu has so many choices that there is truly something for everyone. If pizza is your love language and you're anywhere near Tulum, Boccanera is a must visit. read more
Arrived here around 800p on a Friday night and apparently everyone had the same idea. It is a very small restaurant with limited tables for larger parties (they had two small cafe style pushed together for a 7 top when we were there). We put our name on a list, but no phone number was given so really it's a wait for a table or come back type of situation. We ended up leaving and coming back 40 mins later and were sat quickly outside. The pizzas are OUTSTANDING! I think the reviews all say that and it's the truth. The crust is Neapolitan style thinner crust but the flavor is just spot on! The toppings and sauce are well balanced. The roasted chicken was a great addition to the vegetarian. If they made cheese sticks with a marinara sauce with that crust it would be a HUGE seller! The green salad was pretty standard and not much that was memorable or forgettable, just good and as expected. Unfortunately, the bruschetta was a huge let down -- we literally received halved cherry tomatoes on a piece of bread. They served it with olive oil to drizzle, but that did not even come close to what we expected. There are a few cats that roam the outside patio, but they don't bother you much. The staff was welcoming and we had good conversation with the server even for it being 20 mins before they closed. read more

I am a pizza fanatic and If you like pizza you can not, can not, can not miss this on your stop in Tulum!!! This is the best pizza spot in tulum and in my top of all time. Don't you love being surprised by a restaurant. Everything here is excellent from the service to the food. The restaurant is not big. I'd say about 8 tables but it constantly is busy and with good reason. To start we ordered a traditional bruschetta and a truffle and honey bruschetta. O M G. The best bruschetta I've ever had. The flavors were soo delicious. The bread was soft. And it melted in my mouth. I'd highly recommend getting at least one to try. They have so many excellent and unique choices to choose for pizza but I decided on the Capricciosa and my wife went with the Margarita and added sausage to it. Both pizzas are cooked in a wood burning oven in the back of the restaurant and brought out hot and ready to eat by the owner Marco. He's very down to earth and talked to the guests that we're eating there. Back to the pizzas. The flavors on these pizzas were amazing. Nothing like what I'd expect them to taste like. It is honestly how I think a pizza in Italy would taste like. The crust was crispy and cooked to perfection. Even the crust disappeared off my plate that's how good it was. I only wish I had discovered it sooner to eat there at least a few times before we left. Make this a stop in your list I'd you're going to be in tulum and support this great restaurant!!! read more

Delicious pizza! The staff were great, the prices were reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area, and the atmosphere was fun. It is not on the beach, but across from beach access. It's located right in the middle of some shops and other bars/restaurants, so it's a really convenient area for dinner. Definitely worth a stop! We had a charcuterie board - the Boccanera - and a margherita pizza, which was made in a wood burning pizza oven. All of it was delicious! read more
