Well, Spring is near and I'm coming out of my lurking hibernation mode. Could any Santo Domingo dwellers recommend the best pizza places in the city. I'll be coming down week after next. Last trip, I visited Limoncello's Pizzeria in Campo de Casa Marina. (Hell of a taxi ride to get a slice of great pizza!) The best pizza that I know of is Pizza Hut which would rank on the low end of the scale in the US Midwest. |

Even Italiens, who supposedly "invented" the pizza (for barbarian tourists), have a loathing of it. |

They have several styles and "crusts"! I agree that the Dominican Pizza,like their ketsup,has a very "sweet" tomato flavor(I put a tablespoon of vinegar to a small bottle of Victorina",for a Hienz type flavor Ketsup) The best pizza I have eaten here is in Cabarete. Have no idea of the name, but I know a few of the Cabarete locals will know it. So Mr.Kingofdice, looks like your going to have a road trip to eat good pizza ![]() |

Yes, Robert, LAX in cabarete on the beach. Thin crust, more Italian style but I like it. Alba calls it cheese & ketchup on a cracker, though. The Italian restaurant across from Eddy's in Sosua has a good pizza, too. Sometimes he even has some spicy Italian sausage in stock to top it with if you ask, as opposed to the bland local stuff. One or two of the beach shacks on Sosua beach have some good looking 'soupier'pizzas too. I happen to like them that way.
The worst pizzas I've had here have all been in Santo Domingo. Across from the Aquarium, and in the Zona Colonial, at local places. PJ's pizza in Sosua also is not very good, sweet sugary sauce and goat cheese. Lots of their food looks American but the use of many sugary local ingredients makes the taste something different IMO. It's like eating at a KFC in Malaysia. Looks perfect! But the taste, when fried in coconut oil, is pretty odd! The chain restaurants here, though, like Pizza Hut are all very consistent. As good as in the states but I am not a huge fan of Pizza Hut. I go there when I want to feel comfortable, and have something familiar. Tom aka XR Not one shred of evidence exists to support the notion that life is serious. |

Thanks for the lame comments Mountain frog - hmmn... I wonder if the thousands of patrons that attend football and baseball games know that eating hot dogs with their fingers is for kids. But, I'll tell my 67 yr. old dad when he eats pizza that it's kid food. And I'd better include my 75 yr. old grandmother too. Tell her it's unbecoming for a woman of her age to eat pizza.

Yeup! It's Pizza Hut!!! And as said above, they deliver. And just because many people are not aware of this, KFC delivers also in Santo Domingo only. Enjoy your American pizza in Hispaniola!!! Tom aka XR I amalways frank and earnest with women. In Sosua, I am Frank and in Santiago I'm Ernest. |

I have been living in SD for several years now and still have not encountered a great pizza. Can you please tell me where Limoncello's in Campo de Casa Marina is located? |

Several friends like the Vesivio Pizzaria,next door to the Vesuvio restaurant on the Malecon.I have never had a Vesuvio pizza,but their "Focaccio Bread" is excellent! I have bought those premaid pizza doughs from "Parmalat" at the supermarket,and made my own pizza at home,"Very tasty I must say!!!"CrisColon ![]() |

I yi yi.. no highly recommended pizza in S.D. Looks like another 140 mile trip to Campo de Casa marina for gourmet slices. In reply to Newuser's response: Limocellos' Pizzeria is in the conclave of restaurants at the marina. It is really a high class pizza place. This is where the Euro crowd munches pizza, while flashing their Rolex watches and watching yachts cruise into the marina.
The price of the pizza and salad were reasonable by U.S. cost. Well, looks like thin crust pizza at Pizza Hut on El Conde again. ![]() |
