    Hawaiin Pizza
    Pablo R.

    One of my favorite spots in all of Mexico City. The outside area is very big and the ambiance is great since you can take in the city life, still under shade. Service was good as well, got sat quickly and they were very attentive with everything. Their food is what really stood out though. The salad, with unique ingredients really put it over the edge. I was able to modify the spaghetti, to have bolognese sauce, and it was phenomenal. Best Italian food I had in the city.

    Slice of their pepperoni + olive pizza; Mangorita.

    Lovely neighborhood spot offering happy hour, cocktails, mocktails and really delicious pizza. Gets louder as the night goes on. Loved the attentive and friendly service at the bar.

    This restaurant is very close to where we were having meetings, and it looked like a good place when I walked past. So I called my wife and told here to come on over. We sat in the shade at a table along the sidewalk, and I noticed the couple next to is eating a pizza, and I could tell that this thing was huge. They have 18 different specialty pizzas to choose from, and each one of those seemed tempting from the menu description. We voted to get the Chikana Pizza which had Pollo empanizado among other toppings. The sauce was their own special blend, and they also added mozzarella cheese. She ordered a leamonaide to drink, and I got the orange juice drink. We actually had a. Our of different servers help us, and they all worked together as a team. This is a really nice restaurant with a complete bar, and we enjoyed the dinner.

The spaghetti carbonara I ordered last night was awful, with the little bits of meat burned quite literally to a crisp. I probably should have sent it back. The woman server was good until she disappeared into the back to join her fellow waiters for dinner and it took forever to get the bill. The new male waiters are unfriendly, actually downright surly. The original waiters in the past were so nice and friendly. And the prices are now much higher than I remembered. Luigi, where are you? Don't make me go to the Osteria around the corner.

The majority of Italian restaurants are located in a different colonia outside of Centro Historico. I thought that the service was fairly adequate, and it was pretty tylical from my experiences in the city. I ordered the simple spaghetti bolognesa which is one of my trusted Italiam dishes. This did take a little time for them to orelare, and the reataurant wasn't that busy, but when they did bring it to my table, I was more than dying of hunger. I thought it tasted pretty good, however the bolognesa sauce was somewhat watery. Still the sauce was exceptional in my opinion. Everything else about the reataurant was great and the inside was modern and clean.

I forgot the name, but it had the words "blood" and "opera" in it. It was basically a breakfast pizza with scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, and maple syrup. I ordered it as a "monster slice" which is basically a personal pizza. It was really filling, though I also ordered buffalo cauliflower and are a lot of that. I would say it's good pizza to get if you need to sober up. Speaking of which, I ordered a sangria and it was more like a lemonade. Still yummy and the acidity helped with the heaviness of the pizza. If you're dining here at night, be prepared to dine in the dark. There's not much lighting. And it's very loud! They played rock music, so if that's your vibe then you're gonna like this place. And service was good. They may be short staffed as it took awhile to flag someone down to get the check. I would come back here if I was craving pizza.

The dining area is open and airy so you don't hear other conversations. The olives were delicious and the sangria pretty to look at but light on flavor. The margherita pizza had a large basil leaf per slice but was light on sauce and more burnt than crisp on the bottom. I would try something else the next time. The restaurant was busy, yet I don't know if that was because it was one of the few spots that had the channel that played the US FIFA event.

The pizza pie only came in one size and it was quite large for the two of us. It was loaded with all of the extra sauce and greasy cheese that one would expect from a pizza ordered in New York. Here in Mexico City, it is really quite rare to get this much sauce and cheese in a pizza. I've seen so many Mexicans add ketchup to their pizza because it usually lacks those essential ingredients. This pizza restaurant must have gotten the recipe from New York necaise it really was that good. There were at least five employees working here when we came, and it felt like we got special attention, probably because it seemed very slow. There were no other customers besides us. The am ia ce was pretty normal for a pizzeria, nothing too fancy or too plain old school.

The wait staff were able to recommend which dishes had hidden and obvious gluten (my niece is gluten intolerant) and which could be switched to gluten free They brought out bread selections of their homemade breads and gluten free bread for my niece, served with local EVOO. The fresh corn tamale with the smoked cream sauce was divine: the lightest, fluffiest masa with fresh corn and mushroom filling with a delicious smokey crema blanketing it. We used our bread to get every bit of the sauce. I had the fresh tagliatelle with morels and liver pate sauce, while my sister had the roast suckling pig entree and my niece had the fresh black cod with beurre blanc sauce (which allowed us to use the bread to soak up the sauce) We finished with surprise dessert from the kitchen, as we had noted in our reservation that we were celebrating birthdays.
