EXCELLENT PIZZA IN A PIZZA TOWN - Merida surprisingly for those not from here has tons of amazing…read morepizza and even more just goof pizza. Pizza Oliva, located just a short walk from the flagship restaurant Oliva, lives up to the high standards of Okiva but serves mostly only pizza. It would be easy for you to come here and have a better pie than you could find in most cities in the world, and in Merida it is defintiely a contender for best pie. There are many pizza places worth trying and Pizza Oliva is at the top or near the top of that list, check it out! Happy eating from John Seeto!

From Chicago, first time at PO today. Here are some thoughts:…read more -I've been wanting to try the pizzeria after going to the main Oliva restaurant, which is located nearby, just a block away. -This is one of the nicest pizzerias I've ever been to. It has a very bright interior with white decor and big windows that let you watch people walk by on the sidewalk. -We ordered two salads (wedge and spinach) and two pizzas (Margarita and pepperoni), and they were just right for 4 of us--1 man, 2 women, and 1 toddler who loves pizza. -The pepperoni pizza had a thinner crust, which was perfectly, lightly burnt. Great flavors, the best pepperoni pizza I've had in Merida. -The margarita had a medium crust, with a very nice light sauce, and delicious mozzarella cheese. It was also a very good pizza. -You've got to try this when you're in Merida. Service is good. Highly recommended!!

MANY PEOPLE'S FAVORITE PIZZA IN MERIDA - Rafaello's, in the heart of Centro on Calle 60, is a…read morefavorite pizza spot for many in town. It makes sense, it is very cute inside, the servers are attentive, and the pizzas come out piping hot. That said, Merida is a very very saturated pizza market and it's likely if you ate your way around the city you might find other places you also like. The prices I think were a little high relative to other places you'd find not on Calle 60 (or 47), but they weren't ridiculous and I can see why some folks would call it their favorite in Merida. You should try it out and see how it moves you and share your experience for others. Happy eating from John Seeto!

The waiter was very prompt in bringing out the items in the order we wanted them salad first, pasta/pizza, then dessert. All the food brought out was so fresh and all cooked on the spot you can definitely tell. The pizza crust was very crispy and you can tell it was just wood fired right then and there I still had some of those wood fired elements on my hand when done eating my pizza slice! Yum! Also the ambiance is very cute cozy and also a cute romantic date spot as well. Music was playing settled in the background. Overall great experience and highly recommend if you're in Merida, Yucatan.

This place is off the road and in the woods outside of Chuburná. Look for the yellow sign of Africa…read moreto find it. We had reservations but did not really need because there was only one other table occupied. They do all the cooking in their wood fired oven which gives it a lot of flavor. We started the meal with a caprese salad. Nice mozzarella, tomatoes, basil in a balsamic glaze. We asked for more balsamic for our taste. I ordered the meat calzone and my wife ordered the baked ziti. My calzone was stuffed with sausage, pepperoni, peppers, onion, and cheese. Very good. My wife got the baked ziti. Her serving was the size of a casserole dish. It could feed at least 3-4 people so we have a lot of leftovers. The taste and the sauce was delicious. Wine selection is limited to Chardonnay or Syrah. Good pour on the wine. Waitress was very nice and provided great service. A gem off the beaten path.

In the middle of nowhere is this gem of a family restaurant. My pizza was excellent, my wife says…read moreher vegie pasta primavavera was better. My sister-in-law says it's bad for her because she lives close and will be breaking her diet too often now. The super clean, friendly, and could succeed in any town in the states. English spoken by some of the family (the part from Oregon). Cute little gallery run by them (next door) had stuff we bought to finish our Xmas shopping. Well earned 5 star review. By the way, staff quickly lost a chair as they saw her coming, and other than the table skirt being a common bit too low, the dining room was friendly to my wife's wheelchair, and so was the gallery. I did not use the bathroom, but believe it has 2-3 steps to get in. The dirt parking lot was hard-pack and there is a curb cut. Much more accessible than most other places.

Ordered a mango and strawberry daiquiri and they were not blended. Rim was something strange. Not salt, sugar nor tajin. Service was very slow. The guy was nice but would rather chat with his coworkers. Ordered an avocado pizza, and it tasted like something from the school cafeteria. Chaya crepes were soggy, drowned in sauce to the point where it nauseated me. God help anyone who comes here looking for a fulfilling meal. Included gratuity into the check, but told me I didn't have to pay it if I didn't receive good service. What a weird spot to be put in!?

There's a great variety of drinks--nice traditional mezcalitas, chaya cocktails (with xtabentun), clericot, beer, wine, you name it. The last year or so they've had, in my opinion, a very fine singer/guitarist; she's there, I believe, Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and maybe Saturdays. Music starts at 8:30 (it used to start at 8:00, and I wish it still did or at 7:30) -- no cover. (That's not to say that on the other nights you won't hear good music; over the years there have been many fine trova singers.) All in the atrium of an historic building: in our opinion, a special if not unique place in Merida.

Reasonable selection of mostly local fare but the tacos stood out, we had at least one of every one of them and were were impressed with both the quality and quantity. Maybe a bit pricy for the area but I consider it a good choice for casual dining, the outdoors seems to have a constant breeze due to the way the plaza is constructed.
