“ Requested a vegan pizza (no cheese / meat, just vegetables). Server was super helpful and nice, the pizza was really good. Probably one of the best I’ve had in Argentina. ”
“ The pizza was incredibly tasty—a must-try for pizza lovers. Reasonable prices, generous portions, and a polite server made the experience enjoyable. Although they didn't request table service or tip, we manually added 18% gratuity to reflect our positive experience. ”
“ Great dinner spot... Popular with a good vibe. Friendly staff and good food with affordable options. ”
“ Grabbed a few empanadas to go and wished I had bought more—they’re hands down the best I’ve had on this trip. At the time of this review (June 2025), they were priced at 1,600 pesos each. You’ll find this spot right on the main street in Puerto Iguazú, where all the action happens. ”
