We visited twice in 4 days which is an unknown for us who always like to try a new place every night in a new city. Service is excellent. Be warned the dishes are BIG! I've never seen a Salmon fillet that size. The food was extremely nice. We can highly recommend the fish dishes, but I found the 'California' Pizza (including Mango) just a little bit too weird. They make all the pizzas fresh in the pizza oven which is on view. Also be warned that the Caiprinhas are very strong!! Value for money is some of the best I have ever had, it costing about £35 on the first visit for 2 courses and (too many) Caiprinhas! - For 2 people!!

The best pizza in São Paulo and no question about it-- absolutely love this place and it is very…read morewell done. Here is the breakdown: PIZZA- one star I have had multiple flavors and not even one disappointed me. I even ate the crust, did not feel heavy and it is prepared at the right temperature giving that correct burn on the texture needed for the pizza. SERVICE- one star Very friendly and attentive staff. With great sense of urgency DECOR/ AMBIaNCE- one star Very classy casual spot to come with friends and family. Very nice feel to it. But definitely make reservations. It gets busy very fast. WOW FACTOR- one star Best pizza in Brasil in my opinion. Nicely prepared and always that fresh feel to it. OVERALL- one star Had a great time there. A must every time I'm there

Oh holy sweet goodness that is every bit of this place, thank you for existing!…read more Celebrating my 30th birthday in Brazil during the 2014 World Cup was a thing in itself (jealous?) But coming here for the bday dinner before drunkenly Karaoke'ing in Liberdade was one (or two) of the best decisions during this trip. The language barrier was not too overbearing, but we had been in the country a few days at this point, so we knew a few key words to get us going, also the guy that greeted us at the front (whom was very well dressed might I add) was super nice and helpful in ensuring we had everything we needed for an amazing dining experience. The Caprisi salad: Delicious. The Bruschetta: Awesome. The Pizzas: Phenominal! I had no idea Brazil was so big on pizza, they're everywhere! Something this pizza-lover was very happy to find out. Aside from the exquisitely delectable food offerings, the decor was one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been in. There is this exotic, outdoorsy - garden feel to it (it IS an indoor joint tho) truly a beautiful space. I dream of returning to Brazil one day and hopefully this amazing restaurant will still be around to help me relive that beautiful, culinary smorgasbord we experienced the first time around.

When you're considered the 11th best pizza in the world and number one in Latin America, the…read moreexpectations are sky high. Did Leggera Pizza Napoletana live up to the hype? Not even close. Don't get me wrong... their pizza is pretty good. But "pretty good" is a far cry from exceptional. We ordered six pies - their award-winning Margherita Verace, the Carciofini, Signorina Iamm'Ia, Carpricciosa, La Divina Commedia, and their version of the four-cheese pizza, called Quatro Formaggi Alle Erbe. In typical Neapolitan fashion, they serve 12-inch pizzas with thin and crispy crusts and well-balanced toppings. It was all standard fare; nice but far from memorable. Nothing to write home about. We also tried many of their desserts, including the Tiramisu, Cannoli, and Semifreddo. It was all average at best. On the bright side, the dinner was fairly inexpensive; we spent 740 Reais for dinner for six (6 pizzas, 4 desserts, no alcohol). In summary, Leggera Pizza Napoletana is NOT the 11th best pizza in the world. Nor are they the best in Latin America. We expected to be dazzled, so it was all a big letdown.

Live piano and bass player add to the ambience. Noise level low Food- was able to get a large 1/2 and 1/2 pizza with eggplant and mushroom. Disclaimer - Americans like bold flavors so this pizza may be the best in São Paulo but the dough lacked salt and toppings lacked flavor for my American taste buds. For example, shiitake mushrooms were added as-is rather than a sautee with herbs and a bit of carmelization. Two options with crust: thin or traditional (meaning 1" thick! as shown by waiter). Still, 8/10 for pizza.

Family owned and operated, the location at Rua Treze de Maio 1004 spread across two brightly wallpapered rooms accessed via brick-lined pathway, it is shortly after seating that guests are greeted by waiters that only speak Portuguese, the menu in English a big help though best of luck to anyone attempting to access their "complimentary" WiFi. Showing signs of wear, pulls in the tablecloth and stained menus unexpected from a house with such history, it was after some debate that a direct competition with Bráz was decided upon, the opener of Sausage Bread not quite as herbal but certainly quite good with a blend of three Cheeses adding both taste and textural complexity. Unrushed in terms of service, and making no efforts to assist a foreigner at all, it was nearly forty-five minutes later that a half-and-half Pizza was presented, both slices of Boar Sausage and Zucchini enjoyable amidst imported Sauce and Mozz atop a crust that is puffy and elastic but lacking in terms of cornicione.
