Cuisine: Pizza
Address: Pje. Suiza 1645, Cochabamba

This is my brother-in-law’s favorite pizza place in Cochabamba. It is an Argentine pizza parlor that cooks everything with their wood-fired oven. It’s fun to see the large oven right near where you eat. For this visit we got the mozzarella, hawaiian, and napolitana pizzas, some of their empanadas, passion fruit juice, and a coke. The total came out to just over 400 Bs (around $38 usd at the time). The pizzas taste great and have the wood fired flavor from the oven. They are very heavy on the cheese and a little light on the sauce. It’s a place I would take friends again because it is a fun atmosphere and the pizzas are great. Next time I’ll probably try one that is a little heavier with meat but I was happy with all of our choices. As always, the passion fruit juice did not disappoint.
