Before I arrived in Brazil, I laid down an unltimatum with my long-suffering girlfriend; "Let's eat…read morelocal food, we're going to Brazil, no Pizza, no burgers!". After a week, I cracked when I saw the Pizzaria de Cidade. I love Pizza, despite my outburst. I especially love it when it has been cooked in a wood fired oven, which is what drew me towards it's welcoming doors. We were greeted by an enthusiastic waiter who showed us to our table and then faded discretely into the background until we wanted to order. Waiters for me should be like ninjas, always lurking in the background until they're needed, when they should silently swoop in and with a flash of their pen slice through their notepad. The pizzas on offer were pretty standard in their combinations, think traditional rather than experimental. I'm all for banana and chocolate pizzas, but let's keep some food serious. We ordered the Neapolitan, big enough for two people. It arrived piping hot and smelled utterly amazing. The taste did not disappoint, the garlic was amazingly flavoursome but didn't crowd out the cheese and tomato. One interesting feature of the restaurant is it's collection of olive oils. If Mad Max ever got re-envisaged in Brazil, I know where I'd be heading to refuel my car... They had what looked like hundreds of different bottles of oil, which the waiter would visit and bring over 4 bottles which he thought would complement the pizza in different ways. It was a nice extra touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. To sum up then, I really loved eating at the Pizzeria, they got everything right and served some delicious and authentic pizza. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Paraty.

The burger is moist, tender, and flavorful, while the award-winning "Scampi" pizza is every bit as good as advertised. The staff are all very friendly and attentive; it is definitely worth a visit.

I wasn't sure with the idea of honey and tomato on a pizza but I am glad I tried it. It was a really good combination. The crust is nice and toasty. The Milanese was well cooked as well. The Jaguar passion fruit cocktails were really good. Our server warmed up to us after a while language barriers aside. We tried to speak Portuguese as much as we could. The seating and ambiance are clean and inviting. I am definitely planning to return.

This is my favorite sit-down spot for pizza in Brazil (I say Brazil because they have locations…read morespread throughout major cities). As a local chain, there aren't an overwhelming number of outposts, and the pizza is good enough that I've seen lines at both this Rio and São Paulo location. The large restaurant can hold a number of people and it's nicer than a typical grab and go pizza place. You'll find locals making the queue to celebrate their birthdays and other special occasions. If there is a line and you don't feel like waiting, I recommend grabbing a table in the bar area and ordering your pizza to-go. While we waited, our trio enjoyed a few beers and by the time the pizza was ready, so was our table. We simply asked them to skip the to-go request and serve us at the table. The menu is chock full of different pizza options and you can't go wrong.
