OK If you are in Oaxaca and want a light meal with great service and a break from Mexican food this is the place. This is not New York style pizza but a thin crispy crust that is very flavorful. They will make it with any combination of toppings and even 1/2 & 1/2. No gluten no problem. Vegan you got it. Great craft beers. Nice comfortable place with lovely owners. And prices are very reasonable. read more

Not a fan of thin pizza dough, especially when it's over baked and crispy. Pretty basic interior, not the pizza you wud expect! It's fine for quick bite, if hungry for pizza, but better stick to many good Mexican food around! read more

Food was great . Happy there was a gluten free dough and the ambience is very chill and modern. Service was excellent!

What delicious pizza with an amazing gluten free crust! We particularly loved the Oaxacan chorizo with chile pizza. The naranjada gaseosa was refreshing and the salad had fresh greens and queso fresco. The ambiance was great with a beautiful building and beautiful wood carving. The service was excellent. While I love traditional Oaxacan cuisine, I also need pizza once a week and I couldn't be happier with La Matatena Pizzeria. read more

If I could give them 100 stars I would. Gluten free and even vegan possibilities here. We just ate a gluten free, vegan pizza. It was a amazing! The Argentine empanadas are absolutely fantastic. I lived in Argentina and these empanadas are truly just like the ones in Argentina. The staff is FABULOUS. All speak perfect English. Agua frescas are made fresh without a lot of sugar. Truly I cannot recommend those place enough to everyone. Gluten free and non gluten free options. I wish this restaurant was in San Francisco . Very cool place in a lovely setting with great food. Also our dog got sprayed by a skunk while traveling and the owner made up a concoction for us to get the smell out as we were telling them about the story. Absolutely lovely experience. 100 stars! read more

Great service with a healthy selection of options. Yes you want to experience authentic Oaxaca (Mexican) food but they do have influences on their options. Also, it served as a healthier option for us to reset our stomachs. They have vegan and vegetarian options along with some organic products. Not to mention a local kombucha selection which is perfect for a gut reset. Location is solid, ambiance A and service A+ read more

Best pizza ever! I got a vegan pizza with pecans, chili paste, soy chorizo, and basil. Pizza with pecans is something I've never heard of but will definitely seek out again. YUM. Super nice people too. read more

La Matatena has mastered what many pizzerias have not -- the art of balancing topping to crust so the crust remains thin and crispy, not an open faced sandwich. Small place well located. Sorry, no pix of the pizza. Ate it. read more

Great service, incredible food and amazing vegan options! Wifey cant tolerate lactose and this was a great spot for her to have a pizza. read more

Pizza is great! Medium size can feed two people easily! I recommend getting empanadas (one each to try all 4)! All super delish in their own right. Craft beer selection is good too! They support a lot of Oaxacan micro-breweries, which I totally want to support myself! Friendly staff and follow all Covid-19 protocols that are in place in Oaxaca! I would definitely go again! Highly recommend checking them out while you are here! read more

Refreshing salad and great house mezcal. A bit more expensive but worth it. The gluten free crust is tasty and the waiter was very knowledgeable about allergens and cross contamination! read more

Honestly was not expecting much for pizza as my experiences in Mexico have been more like bread, ketchup, and greasy cheese. However I am renting an Airbnb above and was reading in the roof being tainted by the smells. I couldn't resist and I am glad I didn't. First the ambience of an old soanish home repurposed is excellent. The arch wood work is incredible and it is nice and open so the heat has a place to escape. The pizza was excellent. A nice light thin crust. Not so much cheese it triggered a lactose stomach issue. The sauce was clearly freshly made. The staff very pleasant and it was pretty quick for all the freshness. With all the 'other' pizza experiences in Mexico being challenging, it was a great treat to have such quality. Oh did I mention the beer and mescal selection is good? No? Because it's great. read more

Wow and you would think you can't find pizza in Oaxaca! This is the best pizza I have had. I tried Armando and the Toribio pizzas and omg amazing! The employees here are so friendly. They even gave me bug repellent because I was getting bit by mosquitos. It was a very humid day so it wasn't their fault lol. Please stop by and be amazed. I will be here again for sure. read more

Gluten intolerant folks, beware. I ordered a gluten free pizza, but they still served me a regular crust pizza...... Here's what happened: Upon arriving, I asked the server if they still made gluten free pizzas. The server said yes, and he and I had a whole conversation about which options he thought were best for gf people, including pizza toppings. He was 100% aware that I was wanting a gluten free pizza. He puts the order in. I get a pizza with a very thin crust.... similar to gf crusts. After I eat the pizza, and only AFTER I eat the pizza, does a different server realize that the pizza I had been given was a regular wheat pizza. The second server alerts the first server. The original server then came back and said he had heard my order 100%, but probably "forgot to put it in the system" when he put my order in. He apologized and said he didn't try to make me sick on purpose, but some kind of oversight happened. Then he proceeded to gaslight me and say he didn't understand why it happened... and suggested I read the reviews of all the people who came and had a good experience....If you're gluten intolerant, you know that this kind of mistake by a restaurant is costly, and it's you that pays the price. It doesn't matter if this place has a bunch of good reviews. They let a customer eat an entire pizza, and realized their mistake only AFTER I ate the pizza. Do I feel like they took responsibility? No. Not when they kept saying "We don't know how this happened." Do better. read more

Eating pizza in a city revered for its regional Mexican food may seem an odd choice BUT the amazing pizza here is worth a visit. We shared 3 pizzas between 2 adults and a very hungry 2 year old and still had leftovers. Local, craft beer options rounded out our meal nicely. Our daughter had a blast playing with the owners' daughter and we loved sipping our beer in peace. read more

Amazing rustic spot right down town! The pizza and empanadas are delicious. The amazing fresh smells and the killer sangria highly recommended! Great service! read more

Best pizza we've had in the city. Argentine/Italian style: thin and crispy crust with great flavorful pesto and marinara sauces. Ingredients are always fresh! The service is also excellent: attentive to needs and knowledgeable of their ingredients. In addition to their excellent pizzas, their empanadas are crisp and flaky outside with amazing savory flavorful fillings. read more

Pizza was tasty and the place was real cozy. Highlight for me was that the attentiveness and genuine friendliness. Would definitely come back! read more

We needed a small evening meal and La Matatena was perfect. The pizza with mushrooms was tasty with crisp crust. I tried their three mezcal sampler. Our waiter explained the choices clearly and gently suggested choices based on my flavor preferences. His English was excellent as was the owner's. I found my mezcal of choice for the rest of my trip: tepextate. La Matatena also has a good craft beer menu. This is a small family operation that is friendly, helpful and worthwhile. read more

This was honestly some of the best thin crust pizza I've ever had (I was born on the east coast). If you're looking for a break from all the local food, this is it. Recardo was super friendly and honest about the beer selections -- I would recommend this place to anyone. 5 stars all the way!!!! read more

Our Airbnb was two doors down from here and we ended up eating a meal or snack there every day we were in Oaxaca. The food was delicious, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, spoke great English, and were careful with our dietary restrictions. They also had a great beer selection. Would recommend for both adults and families. read more

If I could give more stars I would, the portions are large without being excessive, the salad, pizzas and empanadas were excellent. I am gluten-free but my family is not and everyone loved food! You have to be on top of the servers because it's a bit slow but worthwhile! read more

We ordered the Fransisco pizza (small) and two beef empanadas. It was the perfect amount for the two of us. They had a thoughtful selection of beer, wine, and mezcal. The chipotle salsa was so good and unique. The staff was very helpful and entertained our language clarifications. Bathrooms in the restaurant and clean. We'll definitely return! read more

When you just need a break from the amazing traditional food in Oaxaca you have to check out the high quality pizza here at La Matatena! Both traditional and 'local' toppings on a perfectly cooked Napoleon crust. Highly recommend! read more

I'm bummed we found this place later on our trip especially because it's so centrally located. Everyone was able to eat. They have gluten-free options, vegan options and regular. They have pastas with all three options and empanadas. Their service was great! I bought one of their shirts that has a calavera with floral crown made of fruits and veggies. The price was surprisingly on the higher end considering it was just pizza but they use organic ingredients and have many options for everyone and all sauces and cheeses are made from scratch in their kitchen. They have many options that have Oaxacan ingredients for pizza's. A good mix of Oaxacan and typical pizza toppings. They also have a vegan lasagna they offer but I didn't get a chance to try since they were all out. But I still have another month in Oaxaca so I'll hopefully be able to try it before my departure. Worth a try if you're craving pizza while surrounded by the delicious Oaxacan food. read more

Best Pizza in Oaxaca!!! We have been to all the others and La Matatena Pizzería. Excellent friendly attentive staff and great service and great white wine which is often hard to find in this city. The owner speaks excellent english if you need that but the main thing is that PIZZA TASTES GREAT! read more

La Matatena Pizza is really excellent - a crisp crust that compares favorably to top tier thin crust gourmet pizzas from the USA. We went several times during our stay in Oaxaca and strongly recommend this friendly and casual alternative to more traditional Mexican cuisine! read more
