At the end of our trip to PR we had tasted great Monfongo and other really good puerto Rican dishes throughout our stay and me being a pizza lover just really wanted some good pizza to end the trip. I found this place and had to give it a go. Well it didn't start so great. We got there at 1125 and understandably they don't open until 1130 so we waited outside until 1135, Gates still closed to the restaurant. All the while we can see thr employees inside still prepping for their day. I'm sure they saw us waiting, but didn't bother to acknowledge it. So I called and asked what time they opened and the nice guy said ohhh we open now (as if they lost track of the time). We gave them 10 more minutes and then walked back to the restaurant, to soon have a good experience. Lucky us, they have a surprisingly lovely CRAFT beer selection!!!! And the pizza was so yummy!. We ordered the pizza rasado! (Maybe say light arugula if u order this), but it was really really good!. Our server was wonderful! Thanks guys. read more

Fantastic! Got the arugula pizza, and the Chipotle carnitas, both were excellent! The lazitos appetizer with goat cheese hit the spot

Valet parking, amazingly friendly staff, delicious drinks and awesome food. No wonder we went trice during our vacation. The octopus/potatoes, knot bread, fried mozzarella, and the calzones were all amazing. Nothing we ordered was a miss. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

It's a no for tapas!! Place is good for drinks, and some pizzas. Let me start with the tapas; chorizo was salty, octopus was very salty, empanadas were ok, buñuelos de yautia were gross. Not trying to be mean, just fair. Pizza was pretty amazing. Service was excellent, my waitress was very nice and attentive. I don't know if I'll be back. read more

Great pizza place in Ocean Park! We had black bean croquetas and a pizza with cheese and chorizo. Both were fantastic! Lots of menu items - a large size pizza equates to 4 meals, so the prices were on point. Would definitely return! read more

Driving around Ocean Park looking for a place to eat. Thanks Yelp for this excellent suggestion! We had the plain pizza, pepperoni and meat pizza. We are New Yorkers and we know pizza. This was thin crust and fresh! My picky daughters loved it too! read more

Pirilo - Pizza Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

If you're looking for an hour long wait for your order, a great bartender, a horrible waitress, and barely mediocre food, then go to Pirilo.

This is almost the same that happened to the prodigal son. It's been 2 years the last time I went to Pirilos in SJ. Quality in food still better and better. Personnel and management on top of situation. Now new locations in Dorado and Ocean Park. Love it!!! Best sangria ever. Thank you Roxanna for your kindness with me and friends. read more

Despite the other rave reviews, I was not impressed by the pizza at all! We got Hawaiian and arugula and both were just okay. The salad and stuffed mushrooms were great appetizers though! read more

A MUST EAT! We are New Yorkers and we absolutely loved this place. The McLeary street location is a bit far from the touristy center of things, but it is 100% worth the trip (40 min walk from condado, $12 taxi ride, or a 15 min bus ride -$0.75- if you can catch it). We ate at the Mexican restaurant next door the night before coming here and our server recommended that we return to try the pizza place. We are so happy that we listened to her advice. The decor is warm and welcoming, and everyone we saw was coming out with food to take home. I went at 8 months pregnant and was happy to see that they were willing to make most cocktails virgin - was nice to enjoy a piña colada with my pizza. We had the bread knots, which were soft and delicious - the fried ravioli, which was good but honestly, I would save room for the pizza. The thin cut fries and cilantro mayo are also a nice addition. I had the pizza rosada (with Vodka sauce) and my husband had a pizza with tons of arugula on it - we both enjoyed our choices and yes, we took the rest back to our hotel to enjoy later. Delicious, absolutely come eat here. read more

See all

Pretty amazing pizza and definitely must have empanadas. Happy hour great with Peronis. Great place to relax and enjoy the ocean air.

Extra excuse to want to go stroll through old San Juan! Delicious pizza in a small and very welcoming atmosphere. Service is excellent.

This place has amazing an amazing vibe and the pizza/ food is also absolutely delicious! Juan, one of the bartenders, was super cool and hooked it up! The service is great and it's a definite "MUST" if you're looking for yummy food in Ocean Park! read more

I must say. This is my second home when I am Puerto Rico. Best pizza hands down. Great hip vibe. Open and airy. Feel the ocean breeze while eating. The crust and sauce is awesome. When you around the Ocean Park area try it. read more

Superb tapas and pizzas! Definitely a popular spot so be prepared to wait. We were a party of 5 (3 kids) so the wait was a little longer for a large table. Service is good but slow (like most places around here) however once the food came, we were not disappointed. We ordered the fries with cilantro sauce, chorizo with white cheese, calamari and vegetarian empanadas. We were disappointed that they do not have chicken empanadas on the menu- only beef, seafood or vegetarian but all the food was good. Pizza was fantastic- their homemade tomato sauce was delicious! read more

Visiting Puerto for the first time this place was around the corner from where I was staying. Great food, one of the best mojitos I have tasted. Fast service! read more

The ambience was great and the servers were very friendly but the food wasn't quite up-to par. We ordered the veggie lasagna and were terribly disappointed to find a plate of extremely greasy vegetables soaking in melted cheese and covered with more mozzarella on the top. There was no pasta in the dish at all. The skinny fries that came with it were drenched in oil. We also got the bean and rice fritters but those were fine. They didn't have any coconut water even though it was advertised in the menu and I had to resort to a little overly sweet lemonade. The three stars are for the service and the variety in the menu, maybe we just ordered the wrong stuff! read more

We didn't eat here, but delicious drinks. I recommend the sangria and Pina colada. Friendly and welcoming staff!

Best pizza in San Juan! I don't eat meat so when it comes to pizza I'm almost always reduced to plain cheese or veggie (plain veggie: onions and peppers). At Pirilos i get to have fun. They have endless pizza choices for vegetarians as well as meat lovers. Some with white sauce others with chimmichuri marinated Roma tomatoes and asparagus, others with a bunch of arugula and sautéed onions. This place never disappoints and is rarely empty. read more

Great Pina Coladas! Try the Pesto Pizza, its phenomenal. Also, definitely the best Calamari I had all trip and the Empanadas with cream cheese were very tender and well-cooked. Came here on the first night of vacation after arriving in San Juan pretty late, and it was definitely the best choice we could have made for that night! read more

The pizza was awesome and the actual outdoor part was awesome. Loads of locals, we met a couple that say they hang out there most weekends. Pizza was 20 bucks but it was delicious. Favorite restaurant that I went to in PR. read more

To me it was the best pizza I've had in a long time. The waitress was very courteous, patient and her suggestions were perfect. If you like artesian pizza they have the best. The garlic knots are out of this world and the ambiance is very nice. Leave space in your stomach cause the portions are very large and they have very good prices. read more

Very cute place with great staff. They are well trained and care, it's obvious. Pizzas are good, lots of tapa. Quality all around. and a friend said the Quatro Leches cake is the best. read more

If you like your pizza with fresh quality ingredients come here! Had mozzarella appetizers for $6 so filling. Also had a large Hawaiian Pizza super delicious and cheesy flavors mixed right in. Good service. read more

From the very tasty pizza to the friendly waiters, Pirilo is the place to eat rustic made pizza. My favorite. El Pecado, skirt stake, Italian sausage, ground beef and more! And the dessert! Oh my God!!!! Awesome, and there is always a waitress to take a family photo. Awesome service and excellent food, what more could you ask for? read more

Visiting from Ft Lauderdale, Was recommended by our host. Had an awesome experience! I had the chicken Milanese which was a generous portion and great taste! My partner had a giant calzone which he really loved. We also had appetizers which were quite tasty;) They had a 2 for $5 beer special of an Italian beer. Shout out to. Ronaldo, who was our waiter and was great! The hostess was adorable too.. Will be back for sure!! Great job! read more

Staff was helpful and the atmosphere was beautiful. The food was good -- I had the pirilo pizza (beef & plantains) because I wanted to try their signature pizza. It lacked the flavor or sweet & sour combo that I expected but it was still very good. I would certainly go back. read more

This place was literally a block from where we were staying and it was THE BEST place we ate at the whole week! Yes a pizza place. We ordered La Pampa and the toppings were so fresh you could smell the chimmichurri before the pizza hit the table. This is my first yelp review ever....it was that good. Can't wait to eat leftovers on the beach tomorrow! Beers were icy cold. Our waiter was super friendly and personable! Outside patio on Mcleary was a fun environment to add to it all... Planning our vacation back soon and we know this will be a must revist! read more

Worth the $7 Uber from a Carolina area resort. We had the Empanillas, Queso pizza, and El Pecado pizza... all very good. The churrasco chimichurri was excellent and one the best I've had. Drinks are reasonably priced. read more

This place was awesome. I went with my family and we split two pizzas - one plain with mushrooms and another with steak and Argentine sausage. Amazing pizza, great service, would highly recommend read more

Awesome thin crust brick oven pizza. Great atmosphere. Seating is a little tight but otherwise a fantastic spot!

Pizza with a focus on toppings and cheese. A great ambiance for friends and catching up. Warning, you may leave several pounds heavier.

Fantastic atmosphere! Great pizza. Encourage you to try a new flavor the standards are amazing and the different toppings were an extra treat. Refills on coke was an excellent surprise. read more

Went there for a late night bite for pizza and salad and it was delicious! We got the La Pampa pizza which was steak, chorizo and chimichurri(an Argentina style pizza) the dough was light and cheese ooygooy. I feel like I have a hard time finding good salads when out to dinner in PR but this one was just what I wanted with mixed greens, tomatoes, peppers, cranberries, mushrooms, onions and olives. Great place to go! read more

Good food, great ambience, good area, and great service. They were attentful and the pizzas were savory. They had fresh ingredients and have a good variety of pizzas and other types of food. read more

During our stay we went to both locations of Pirilos. Both were awesome! This location has more of a relaxed atmosphere with big open windows and a central bar. Both locations have amazing craft beer selection and pizza. Me and gf got the personal size which was perfect with a couple tapas/apps. read more

Wife got the Pizza Basilica, said it was amazing. I had the El Pasado (I think, whatever the all meat one is). Absolutely delicious if that's what you like. Also had the ground beef empenada with cream cheese...so good. Staff was, as all of Puerto Rico is, super nice. Pricey, also as most of PR has been, but completely worth it. read more

Our first time here and we were not disappointed. We ordered half chorizo (was average) and la rosada ( now, that was impressive). It has pink sauce, spinach, aurugula and topped with Parmesan cheese, now that was very, very good. Even my daughter who is not a spinach/aurugula fan, loved it. Staff is very well trained. Definitely we are coming back. read more

Terrible customer service, not kid friendly, food was cold, appetizers didn't have flavor but were fresh (Stuffed mushrooms and the "pizza doe balls"). Pizza: flavorless (diluted tomato pizza sauce) but fresh cheese. Excessively priced for what you get and how are treated. So OVERRATED!! Go to Si No Corro Me Pizza. read more

great pizza and the Spanish-style pulpo was great! had to wait for seating, was pretty packed on a friday night, waited at tbe bar and we were seated quickly read more
