This is a Napolitan-style pizza place in Buzios!…read more Small and humble if compared to the others huge, fancy Italian restaurants in Buzios. But this pizza.... it is outstanding! Amazing crust, light, made with Italian flour (the owner, who also serves the clients, is Italian and loves Pizza). The tomato sauce is awesome, great taste! The Margherita comes with small pieces o tomato, instead of huge slices of it (as it is common in other places). Don't be fooled by the appearances! This small humble place beats most of the fancy Restaurants in Buzios! If by Buzios, you should give it a shoot! A Pizza-place so good that would make success in bigger cities as well. The only downside is that all the ingredients are superb, but the cheese is a simple, regular mozzarella, and that kind of unbalances the Pizza. To be fair, they do have a Margherita that comes with Buffalo mozzarella, that one should give it a try (we had a regular Margherita, with the regular Mozzarella). UPDATE: The owner contacted me to said that he was sad that I though the Mozzarella was a simple one, as he said that he uses a very good one, that you cannot find at the regular market. Oh, well... apparently my taste sucks in recognizing good cheese!! In any case, I feel obliged to update this review with this extra info!

I first experienced Forno as a coffee shop where I picked up my new favorite coffee beans from…read moreCaparao Coffee Club. They have an amazing blend that might be one of the best I've ever had in my life. I love that this place is multifaceted. They are a pizzeria, a coffee shop, and a bakery all in one. There is a brick oven pizza in the store where you can watch your pizza get made which is fun. They have a lot of food options and take-home items that are delicious like cake in a cup, sourdough chips, meringues, cookies, etc. Overall a great place to hang out and eat.

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.

I have heard the pizzas from this restaurant are better than the Italian pizzas. I had to taste it…read moreand had to confirm. The service, the food, the location, the ambiance, the vibe, the atmosphere, the people there are first class. They seem to have a really good logistic and organization, because when I was there it was almost full. But the service manages everything and nobody waits too long. Good administration! I loved it. The pizzas are the highlight and the desserts are like heaven too! The restaurant per se is big, elegant, clean, simply and beautifully decorated and seem to be "in" in the moment. It is worth a visit/ or many visits. ------------------------------------- Das ist eine der besten Pizzas, die ich je gegessen habe. In Sao Paulo sind sie auch ganz berühmt und man sagt, die Pizzas von Braz, sind besser als in Italien. Ich kann das bestätigen. In diesem Restaurant sind die Atmosphäre, die Stimmung, das Essen, die Lage, die Bedienung herrlich. Sie haben eine gute Logistik, weil auch wenn es voll ist, wartet man nicht lange und alle werden gleich schnell bedient. Sehr gut!! Das Restaurant ist ziemlich "in" im Moment, habe ich gehört. Es ist groß, elegant, einfach und schön eingerichtet und ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert /oder mehrere, when ich die Chance habe, nach Rio zu gehen.

Brazilians can't make pizzza like Italians???...slapme into reality cause this has to be the best…read morepizza I've ever had in my life. No it is. New York be damned! Italy also doesn't come close *Looks over bay*. Even Jesus approves cause the statue is overlooking me eat this deliciousness. I feel like I'm sinning. Sorry JC. I don't even care! If they make pizza like this in hell I'm setting my navigation to that destination.
