The Pizza Shop

What locals are saying about The Pizza Shop

The pizza is thin, toasty, fresh and juicy, New York style on housemade dough, and people who come back count it among the best they have had in Jacó. The garlic knots, the "Garlic Nugz" at ₡2,500, are the starter that comes up most, and the piña colada gets praise too; the menu adds calzones, a meatball stromboli, smoked wings, vegetarian options and a vegan pizza, and you can build your own in four sizes, from personal to extra large. Several people agree on the same things: fresh ingredients and service that makes the meal pleasant, with Franciny the name that keeps coming up.

It is an open-air spot on the main avenue, with communal tables and beer on tap; one visitor found it pet friendly and another recommends it for families. It opens Tuesday to Sunday from 11:30 AM and on Fridays and Saturdays closes at 2:30 AM; it is closed on Mondays. Personal pizzas start at ₡7,000 and large ones run around ₡14,000, with a 10% service charge added when dining in, and they also do delivery and takeout. It is at La Casona #1, 25 meters south of the Copey bridge, in Jacó.
