¡Ey, qué hubo, mi gente! Alejandra here, coming to you live from Cartagena! Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Cartagena? That’s all beaches and tourists, right?” ¡No te creas! This city’s got a whole lotta flavor, and the pizza scene? ¡Ufff! It’s a vacilón! We’re talking about everything from those little hole-in-the-wall pizzerias to those fancy joints where the pizza is like a work of art, learn about the best pizza in Cartagena.

You may be thinking that pizzas are just a classic and you can find it anywhere, but I want you to get the best pizza experience you’ll ever have while being here in Cartagena. It can get confusing reading a lot of google reviews and not knowing what to do or who to believe.

But hey, no te preocupes, because I’m here to be your parcera and guide you through the best pizza spots in La Heroica. My most honest recommendations for sure. I’ve even broken it down into categories so you can find exactly what you’re looking for, whether you’re looking for something chévere and casual or something a little more upscale.

  1. Best Pizza in Cartagena Overall: Mamma’s Pizza
MAMA'S PIZZA, Cartagena
The original italian pizzas in Cartagena
  • Pizzeria: Mamma’s Pizza
  • Location: Cl. 35 #3-16, El Centro, Cartagena de Indias, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia
  • Unique Features: Starting with the quality of their pizzas, the dough is dreamy, super soft and delicious, they have a rooftop ideal for an outing with friends, enjoy good music and delicious food, I would say that the atmosphere is something characteristic, is cozy and perfect for a weekend outing.
  • Price Range:  Fair prices, pizzas cost an average of 40/50 mil pesos
  • Must-Try Pizzas: The Italian Job (Neapolitan base, burrata mozzarella, Iberian ham, arugula, cherry tomato, pepper, basil and oregano), the classic pepperoni pizza and four cheeses.
  • Why It’s the Best:  It’s almost impossible not to have heard about this pizzeria in Cartagena. Everyone talks about it because it’s genuinely amazing. They offer a wide menu of pizzas, ranging from the classic ones we all know to authentic Italian specialties that will make your mouth water. The atmosphere is super pleasant, making it stand out from other pizzerias. Plus, their prices seem fair for the quality of their menu. The ingredients taste fresh, and the pizzas are made with sourdough, so the quality is a solid 10/10. The music and drinks are a bonus—you can enjoy a beer, a cocktail, or a glass of wine, as they offer a great variety of beverages. ¡Me encanta!
  1. Best Rooftop: Di Silvio Trattoria
Disilvio Trattoria
Enjoy a good pizza with a wonderful view of the city
  • Pizzeria: Di Silvio Trattoria
  • Location: Centro de Salud y Negocios Ronda Real, Cra. 69 #31-139 piso 12, Santa Lucía, Cartagena de Indias, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia
  • View/Atmosphere: Mi gente, sunsets from here are just amazing! Di silvio gives you the opportunity to enjoy a drink and a good meal with a spectacular view of our beautiful Cartagena, Es muy chevere! There is a bohemian atmosphere, half light, soft and pleasant music.
  • Price Range: Moderate
  • Why It’s Special:Di Silvio is a place where just by entering you already feel in a completely different environment, its atmosphere makes you feel relaxed and happy immediately,  not to mention the smells, which anticipates the delicious food you are about to try. Its unparalleled view from the terrace is one of the main factors that make this place stand out, but its food is so delicious that both things will complement your visit to this restaurant and believe me you will want to keep visiting it.
  1. Best Wine Selection: Le Grazie
Le Grazie, Cartagena
You can enjoy a glass of wine while sitting outside and have a good pizza
  • Pizzeria: Le Grazie
  • Location: Located in the most upscale mall in Cartagena, La Serrezuela Mall. San Diego, Cartagena, Cartagena Province, Bolivar, Colombia
  • Wine List Highlights: Okay, mi gente, if you’re a true wine lover like me, they have a long list of wines on their menu so you’ll be happy to see that, My favorites from their selection are Placido Chianti, lambrusco, of course prosecco and the Colli Euganei Pinot bianco.
  • Price Range: A bit pricey, but hey, you’re worth it!
  • Best Pizzas to Pair with Wine: I would definitely try the campagnola which has burrata di bufala, roasted eggplant, dried tomato, mozzarella and basil, uff do I need to say more? A perfect mix of flavors in your mouth with a wine, they just match.
  • Why It Stands Out: The restaurant as such, is very nice, with a beautiful terrace and a spectacular view, the pizzas are out of the ordinary and their quality is divino. They have a bar and a variety of drinks to go with delicious food, it is not just any restaurant, all this makes it one of my favorites.
  1. Most Luxurious: Da Pietro – Restaurante Italiano & Pizzería
RESTAURANTE DA PIETRO, Cartagena
Sophistication and good quality food
  • Restaurant: Da Pietro
  • Location: Calle Cochera del Hobo, Cra. 8 #N° 38-71, Cartagena de Indias, Bolívar, Colombia
  • Ambiance: Compa, Da Pietro is located in a restored colonial mansion in the heart of the historic center of Cartagena. The décor is elegant and sophisticated, with a classic touch and details that evoke the history of the place. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic, with soft lighting and soft music.
  • Price Range:  I would say that they have reasonable prices for the quality of the food they have.
  • Luxury Pizza Recommendations: Mar Y Tierra pizza, an option that you will rarely find in other pizzerias, contains shrimp, pesto and mozzarella, una divinura.
  • Why It’s Luxurious: I wouldn’t say it’s the most elegant restaurant around, but its colonial touches, elegant and romantic decor, good quality food and service, certainly make it qualify as an upscale place. After all, pizza places are not usually super exclusive, at least in Cartagena. But this option is one where you can go and impress your guest y pasarla rico.
  1. Most Economical: Trattoria Il Forno
il forno
Affordable but great ambiance restaurant to enjoy a pizza
  • Pizzeria: Trattoria Il Forno
  • Location: Getsemaní (Calle de la Sierpe #9-49)
  • Price Range: Easy on the wallet, perfect for when you’re on a budget
  • Must-Try Pizzas: You can’t go wrong with the classics here, like the margarita or the pepperoni. And their calzone? ¡Una bomba!
  • Why It’s the Best Budget Option: Il Forno is proof that you don’t have to spend a lot to enjoy amazing Italian food. It’s like a homemade meal, but without the cleanup!
  1. Best for events/ shows: Verona Pizzería Gourmet
VERONA RESTAURANTE, Cartagena
With no doubts, this is the place you need to visit when celebrating something special
    • Restaurant Name: Verona
    • Location 1: Plaza Fernández de Madrid No. 36-149 Tercer piso – Local 303, Cartagena de Indias, Bolívar, Colombia
    • Location 2: Cra 20 #2422, Manga, Cartagena de Indias, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia
  • Price range: kinda expensive since they are in the tourist area, but it’s a good quality/price relation.
  • Why It’s Great for Events: The atmosphere of this restaurant is really elegant but also really cozy to spend some quality time, they offer live music which makes the space perfect for a celebration. Some people take advantage of the space to celebrate different events such as birthdays, baptisms or any other event. Their food is de lo mas rico, they have a varied menu but definitely the pizzas are their top.  They have a bar if you want to have some good drinks as part of your celebrations, and finally their service is extremely attentive.
  1. Best Food Quality: Pizzeria Aguanile

Fresh ingredients and a great price
  • Pizzeria: Pizzeria Aguanile
  • Location: Bocagrande (Cra. 2 #7-23)
  • Unique Features: What makes this place so special? Parce, it’s got the whole package! The vibe is chévere, the pizza is out of this world, and they even have live music to set the mood.
  • Price Range: Moderate
  • Must-Try Pizzas: Okay, listen up! You HAVE to try the “Aguanile” (with shrimp, ¡riquísima!), the “Cartagenera” (with sweet plantains, for a true taste of the coast), and the “Diávola” (if you like it spicy, this one’s for you!).
  • Why It’s the Best: Aguanile just gets it right. The dough is perfect, the ingredients are fresh, and the flavor… Ay, compa, the flavor! Don’t just take my word for it, check out this Google review: “The best pizza I’ve ever had. The dough is incredibly delicious, the ingredients are fresh and high quality. Highly recommended!”.
  1. Conclusion

Impressed? Cartagena is really big, so there’s always a perfect place for everyone to choose from.

As you can see we have a variety of pizza places, there are mostly casual pizzerias to just go eat for a good price, but we also have some really good restaurants where you can go with friends and family to have a fun time. I also gave you alternatives in case you want a more elegant or classy resto, to go have a date or simply have a more relaxed experience.
