There's only a few tables for sitting, but most people grab their slices and eat standing on the sidewalk with a beer in hand. If it's a rainy day, I recommend going elsewhere as there's nowhere to sit inside the boutique/pizza shop. This place gets going on Fridays around happy hour or around 9pm on most nights.

So I opted for delivery and wasn't disappointed. The website has options for Portuguese, English, and Spanish and it's quick and easy to sign up and place your order. They have a large variety of pizzas to choose from, I went with the pepperoni, which came with onions as well. Overall it was pretty good, but the thing that I really liked was that there were several options on the style of the pizza, and it came with a stuffed crust (I picked the 4 cheese option), which was great because I don't really like the crust all that much. The menu is pretty big, they've got everything from pizza to dessert pizzas to calzones. And wine. You can get wine delivered with your food and that's always a plus in my book. I wonder if you can get them to just deliver wine...

But when I order one for delivery from iFood, it was not so good. Not bad, but not as good as eating at the restaurant. So let's focus on that. They have a small seating area and a wide selection of pizzas. My go-to pizza is (and always has been) pepperoni. Vezpa has one of the better pepperoni pizzas in the area, but you can also get just about any type, including dessert. The prices are a little high, but if you're just looking for a quick slice you can't go wrong.

They have indoor and outdoor seating but when we went here they didn't have outdoor seating set up. It was a Wednesday afternoon - so we were seated immediately. They have English menu available! They have the Vegetarian dishes conveniently located (marked as vegetariano) We ordered Vegetariano Nachos. It was so yummy! The closest thing we would consider to Authentic Mexican food we've had in a while so we were super excited. lol. It had actual cheese baked on instead of that nacho cheese grossness, it had diced jalapenos, sour cream, baked beans and they have mild and spicy sauce on the table. Both yummy. They have Guarana Antarctica instead of Kuat, just FYI. All in all - glad that I was able to eat some food with jalapenos.

This Brazilian restaurant was recommended in my guidebook for its buffet so we decided to give things a try. Upon walking in, I was impressed with the aesthetics of this restaurant. It's a large restaurant with nice, wooden booths and the decor is similarly impressive. The World Cup was going on while we were there and they had the game playing on a projector. Now let's get to the good stuff. This is a large buffet with a ton of options. We're talking all different types of meats, sides, appetizers, desserts . . . I would guess that there were at least 100 items to choose from. For someone who loves variety, I was in heaven. With the variety, the quality was there too. One of my favorites was the churrascaria-style meats that are carved in front of you at the buffet. To wash it all down, I ordered two fresh juices. This is truly a feast and one of my favorite dining experiences I had in Brazil.
