Onion pizza. Yum!
Lisa G.

Felt like pizza and this was the closest place to my airbnb, Mi Tulum. It also had good reviews so I felt was a good option. It was pouring cats and dogs when I arrived so I was the only one in the outdoor covered dining area. I ordered a large onion pizza to go and had a margarita (less than $4) while I was waiting. Ordered two more drinks to go for my friends. Everything was excellent. I appreciate owner, Orlando's great customer service. Would definitely recommend and go there again.

It doesn't look like much walking by. But I was on a hunt for pizza and I was definitely not disappointed. The owner Orlando was so kind and hospitable. We had the pleasure of eating and conversing with him. He is actually From Italy! Pizza from an Italian, say less. We got the pepperoni and pastor. Amazing! The food was all fresh and we got to watch him hand toss and make the pizza with excellent skill. The pizza itself just wonderful but also came with some habanero butter and garlic and it jut brought the flavor together and topped it off so well. Would definitely return

We had to capture a photo with Orlando & Manuela (the owners) as they treated us like family!

This place is amazing & the service is incredible! While in Tulum we wanted some pizza so we looked at YELP for reviews. We found Papaya Pizza was highly recommended but when we arrived there was NO ONE dining in...maybe because of the time we were eating. We almost left but thankfully looked at reviews again & decided to have dinner AND SOOO glad we did!! The bruschetta to start was fabulous. We had the local Tulum Lager & pizza & it was perfect! The owners are from Italy & are bringing their amazing cultural food to Mexico! Orlando & Manuela treated us like family...WE WILL BE BACK!!

Lovely vegan pizza. Delicious. I am from New York and I have to say this is really good pizza.

Half pepperoni mix half pineapple, bacon and arrúgala

This place is a little gem in tulum, portions are huge, the toppings are fresh and there is a wide veriety. The crust was thin and crispy just how I like it. $11 for a family size pizza that filled myself and my boyfriend, we had to take some to go. The owner is extremely welcoming and very nice.

The larger pizza which we got some of it takeaway.

Amazing pizza! The homemade sauces are fantastically. The owner is super friendly. He even let my little boy roll his own pizza dough.

If you love pizza and you're in Tulum, this is the spot. Full stop…read more 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.

Arrived here around 800p on a Friday night and apparently everyone had the same idea. It is a very…read moresmall 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.

We stumbled into this restaurant as a family of five, very late at night with no reservation. While…read moreall of the other restaurants were playing loud music and had essentially turned into clubs, Parole was the calmest of them all. We were greeted by friendly staff who seated us at a large comfortable table that had both a couch and chairs, which was very comfortable. The restaurant focuses on Italian food, with seafood and steak options. The decor reminds me of a French shabby chic vibe, very pretty! Charred octopus- 7/10 Steak- 10/10 (best we've ever had! and we eat at amazing steak houses in Los Angeles) Spicy vodka pasta- 7/10 (spicier than im used to, but hey we are in Mexico. Didn't remind me of a typical vodka pasta, but still decent.) Carbonara- 10/10 Fig cheesecake- 4/10 (very underwhelming) Cocktails- 10/10

We had a large bachelorette party and luckily had the place virtually all to ourselves. We ordered a ton of food and shared everything amongst the party. Our favorite appetizers were: STEAK CARPACCIO and the SCALLOPS W/ CAULIFLOWER PURÉE. Our favorite pastas were: CARBONARA FETTUCCINE W/ TRUFFLE and the ALASKAN KING CRAB RAVIOLI. Other honorable mentions were the DUCK SALAD & the BOGAVANTE RISOTTO W/ ASPARAGUS. Honestly, all the food we got was delicious and we really enjoyed our dinner and the experience overall. We ended the night with the DOLCI PAROLE SAMPLER because we couldn't decide on which dessert to try AND they even gave the bride to be a complementary cake. Needless to say, we left STUFFED. Highly recommend trying our Parole, especially if you're not into the super chaotic nightclub-like restaurant types such as Rosa Negra and Taboo.

We love the vibe from outside so we decided to try it out and once we arrived upstairs we were greeted with lovely live music and a beautiful ambience. The lighting in here is just perfect and the food was amazing. We had a seafood platter that made our night an incredible pizza that we had half that night and the rest for lunch and a lovely salad with falafel and hummus. The drinks were perfectly mixed and not too sweet. Our waiter Alex was kind as can be and we enjoyed talking with him and having a few laughs. Overall I will give this place 10 stars if I could. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The manager was enjoyable to talk to you and the entire vibe including the incredible music made our night. Thanks Alex!!!

It came with olives, roasted peppers, a few different types of cheese, artichoke, grilled veggies, an entire pizza of toasted dough!!! And most important bruschetta. We also ordered pasta arrabiata, as well as the baked eggplant pasta (I forget what it was exactly called) but it was so delicious. I'm from NYC and we have some of the best Italian food in the world and this restaurant in Tulum Downtown ranks right next to them. Extremely affordable too! And the place itself it super cool as it has a lofted area, an extensive wine and beverage list and is open but airy enough to sit down and not be too hot whilst eating your meal. Bellissimo!
