I really enjoy their pizza but the service has gone far downhill. Pizza ordered early in the evening, everything seemed fine, the window for the delivery time passed and nothing showed up. Called the restaurants phone and it rang and rang and nobody picked up. Finally had to contact Uber to cancel. Too many other good pizza places in Centro for this monkey business. read more

Many people love Eskondida, its centrally located and its one of a few places in Merida that aim to serve New York style pizza. It's a challenge being in Merida for sure, the ingredients are hard to get consistently, I remember one time I couldn't find basil at Chedraui for over 6 weeks. So it's not an easy place to build a pizza empire, that much is true, but the owners here clearly care about quality and try to offer the best Merida can offer. The prices are not crazy but Merida is a very pizza heavy city so it's really about what are you looking for. I get the impression the decor is going for a New York pizza place, which is in theme. I've only been once and got spotty service, but Merida is certainly overall a bit hard to find long term teams with perfect service. For some folks, especially those looking for something that reminds them of NY style, this will be their spot. If you are into the New York style of pizza its worth a try, noting in advance its hard to replicate NY style outside NY. But if you are into Detroit, Chicago, Neopolitan, Sicilian, or other styles, just be aware this is shooting for NY style, not those other variants. read more

Holy Batman! I've found real NY pizza in Mexico! The best I have had in more than 3 years! It's perfect - crust, sauce and mozzarella. Everything is perfectly seasoned and cooked. Staff are great. They are friendly,polite, and professional, and listen to your requests. Everything is immaculate. They even had A&W root beer and cream soda! Would have liked to see wine and beer options. read more

Great place, great owners and the food was great. Highly recommend this place. Clean, quick (for Mexico!) and friendly.

My wife, kids, and I had a lovely dinner here. The salads were huge, the pizza was tasty (loved the dough!), the atmosphere was cozy, and the service was good. The owner was friendly and attentive, too. Highly recommended! read more

We ordered take out pizza and salad on a Monday night. Robert, the owner, is from Boston so has a pretty good knowledge of New York style pizza. We ordered a Greek salad that was full of fresh lettuce, feta cheese, olives, and cucumbers. The salad fed three people. Our mistake is we should have asked for more dressing. For our pizza we ordered the Mulberry. Thin crust with a good tomato sauce that was covered with pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, and onion. We got the large that had seven slices and fed the three of us. Nice to find NY style pizza in Merida. read more

It was late and our group felt like pizza, so this place was recommended to us, delivered on a motorbike. The order came quickly, was hot and tasted great. Will order again for our next late night bite. read more

A welcome surprise! We are all from the east coast and have discerning pizza pallets! We ordered three types of pizzas and it was really really good! We would highly recommend and I think Tony Soprano would have enjoyed their pies! The white pizza with chix and mushroom was delicioso!! read more

Yo soy de Nueva York y no te voy a decir que la pizza es igual pero esta muy bueno. Mejor que muchos de las pizzas de Mexico.

I've been ordering Pizza from these guys for the past year and can say that they are consistently the best pizza in Merida. The difference is their crust - It can be difficult in Mexico to find a Pizza with good crust due to the inferiority of Mexican wheat but these guys make their dough with the right ingredients. Pizzas always have the perfect amount of toppings and are delivered hot. Their salads are good too and they also have A&W root beer! Recommended! read more

The kids wanted pizza for our last night it Merida, and this was one of the first places to open. The pizza left me very impressed. I spoke with the owner and he said he opened this pizzeria because he couldn't find decent pizza in Merida and "pizza is my food." Well, he nailed it and this was some of the best pizza I've had in a while. I'm from LA where we have amazing pizza options and this place would easily make it onto my pizzeria rotation. If you are in the mood for excellent pizza - and free delivery - this is your place. read more

Pizza was very good, we had 11 show up without warning and they seated us fast. Ordered five jumbo pizzas the ESKONDIDA was everyone's fav. Would definitely go back again. read more

After 2 failed attempts at having pizza in Merida, we were so glad to have found Eskondida. Delicious NY style pizza made with fresh ingredients. My personal favorite was the Eskondida pizza. We ordered two jumbo pizzas which were more than enough for 6 people. We also ordered their house and greek salads and both were fresh and delicious. We placed our order by phone and the pizzas were delivered to us right on time and nice and warm. Thank you Eskondida! read more

As a New Yorker, I can't say this is true NY style pizza. BUT, the service is excellent, the food taste great, and delivery was prompt. There were few local pizza joints in Merida when I lived here over a decade ago. So happy to see businesses like this now. Highly recommend! read more

I used to LOVE this place. But since COVID they have continually gotten worse. I have kept ordering trying to be supportive of my neighborhood business but they have turned to crap. Last peso/dollar from me. read more

Great hidden gem in Merida! Food was on point! As soon as we got there they offered us bug spray which I thought was so awesome for the fact that they have a roof top option to eat! Lol I got the chicken Alfredo pasta which was AMAAAZING super creamy and hot! Great portion size too! My boyfriend tried the Eskondida pizza which is the all meats pizza and his was sooo good too! We were really happy with this pizza spot and will definitely come back to eat! read more

After eating as many tacos and yucatecan food as possible on vacation, it was nice to find this pizza, better than anything I've had in my home state of Michigan... feels like your classic laid back pizza kitchen. The neighborhood is really cool too, more calm than santa lucia and really good music coming out of La Negrita Nearby. Not super formal service, which I liked because the Santa Lucia restaurants were pretty uptight. read more

Great pizza and enjoyed meeting the owner who has tried many pizza places including NY to come up with a great and authentic NY style pizza!

Excellent service from people who really care. We had 7 people and the staff were all very nice and friendly. The food was very good. I'll be back the next time I'm in Merida. read more

Very very good pizza. Though I confess that I was hooked the moment I saw on their menu the caution that adding too many toppings to a pizza doesn't make it better. My wife and I picked up two medium pizzas for takeout -- and were very impressed by what we ate. The quality of the ingredients is apparent -- real, tasty Italian sausage, mozzarella, and a very good dough for the crust. The pizzas were perfectly cooked, the bottoms browned but not burned. The crust was very flavorful and the sauce was really excellent. As promised, there were just the right amount of toppings. The price was very fair: I'm willing to pay more for high quality like this. We really liked the vibe of the restaurant and the staff was exceptionally friendly. We rented a house close by and so we ate our pizza at home but would have lingered on the restaurant's upstairs deck on a breezy Sunday night. When we visited, the restaurant doesn't offer wine and beer, the only downside we could see. But they do offer home delivery! read more

I was impressed with the GREEK SALAD , done right as would be in US diner, the THIN CRUST pizza I sampled was tasty and crunchy with just the right amount of cheese , not too gloppy ....the pasta Alfredo seemed very heavy I just had a bite from my companion's plate ...I never order pasta OUT esp with cream sauces read more

Great place the staff and owners are amazing! The food is very fresh and homemade! We had a pizza and sub and they were perfect. We will be back!! read more

Great roof top service. Nice breeze and good pizza. If you cannot decide what pizza to eat they do half and half for your order. Tasty pizza. Lemonade with chia is delicious and refreshing. Try and apply bug repellent if you eat outside to keep the mosquitos away. read more

The pizza tastes well, the place is clean, and the business is well managed. But be careful with one of the employees. I would not trust what he does to the pizza if he doesn't like you. read more

I'm from Chicago and so naturally I know good pizza.. In my opinion, this is the best pizza place in Merida. Decide for yourself.

When you need a break from local dishes, this is legit New York style and they deliver. Delicious!

Really excellent pizza made with care and great ingredients, am just finishing my 2nd pie from Escondido which I brought home with me this time. Also it seems like everyone there speaks English which is nice if your Spanish is barely functional :) read more

At first glance this looks like a typical pizza parlor but you will be completely amazed once your taste buds enjoy these delicious ingredientes, as well as great service. The owner Jose even came to personally greet and tell me how he puts his unique touch in his homemade ingredients. The Chelsea is my favorite with its signature Italian sausage read more

Amazing thin crust New York style pizza made with fresh ingredients. AC in lower level restaurant area but we opted for the rooftop deck area which has only been open for one week. Great breeze upstairs under white rooftop covering which offers plenty shaded areas. Jose gave us awesome service and made us feel at home. He truly understands the meaning of custermer service. I can see his vision of this rooftop area which will only get better with time and his tender loving care. They also offer delivery after 4 pm. I know that he will do well. No liquor license and hopefully they will get one soon as their amazing pizza will go well with a cold beer or some wine. read more

Best pizza my husband and I have ever had;) it was cooked perfect ;)) The service is great and the people that work here are so friendly;) I would highly recommend this place. read more

Best Pizza in Merida! Our favourites are the Eskondida Pizza and the Brooklyn Pizza! You will not be disappointed!!

Wow, amazing pizza! And the salad was delish and fresh too! To top it off, they delivered it quickly on a very rainy Sat night....a million thanks read more

Our family of 6 went here the other night and the pizza was very good. You can taste the difference of excellent quality ingredients. Fresh tomato pizza sauce, real EVOO and real mozzarella (we have had some pizza here in Mexico where they put manchego on it- not good). We ate on the rooftop and there was a nice breeze coming through. We had half Hawaiian and half pepperoni. We much preferred the pepperoni. We came back a week and a half later to get takeout and ordered the Broadway. Excellent. It's expensive by Mexican standards. On par with what we pay for pizza in Indianapolis as a large will run about $14, but some of those ingredients are hard to come by locally so hence, you get what you pay for. The staff speaks English too. Here on yelp the name is Escondido, but the name is actually Escondida, just in case you can't find it. read more

This place is a slice of heaven! Dine in and eat upstairs! Really great pizza! We ordered two large pizzas for 5 people and couldn't finish it all. read more

Great pizza! Stumbled upon it while searching for something to eat. The staff is great. Amazing customer service.

We found this great place with good reviews here and decided to stop in. It is a Great Find! Fabulous pizza especially if you are a "foodie", great restaurant, good music and friendly and professional staff. We had 7 people in our group including one vegetarian and everyone loved the garlic bread, cheesy garlic bread and the 3 different types of pizza. In fact, we loved it so much we ordered again several nights later after a long day because they deliver. What a perfect day after seeing the ruins, but to have delicious dinner arrive at your door! We are now 9 people with all types of wants when it comes to pizza and this place hit a home run with all of us! Amazing! Not to be missed and what a great find in Centro Merida! read more

My husband and I decided to try Eskondida after reading other Yelp reviews and we are so glad we went! The owner made an effort to come and speak with us in between making dishes and the hospitality is unparalleled. And the food was amazing!! We had a Caesar salad and Eskondida pizza. The ingredients are very fresh and the sausage and sauce were delicious. The service was fast and friendly and the building is well-decorated. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Mérida. read more

So yummy! Perfect crust, not oily at all, zesty sauce. One of the best pizzas I've had in the world.
