Found this little gem quite by accidnet as we were lookign for a quick bite before we turned in. Order the wood fired pizza and beer which was quite tasty and asked the owner to switch the music from typical American rock to the pan flute peruvian style which set the ambience. Great little corner to relax and get a... More

Tiny unassuming place, only a couple of tables in the same room with the big wood oven and countertop prep area. You can't help but watch them make your food, it's like being in the family kitchen. The owner was friendly, he took pictures of our group with 5 different cameras and never stopped smiling! One of our pizzas got... More

Wood fired oven made this pizza good. Nice thin crust. Big selection of toppings and menu has English translations. The pizza itself had lots of cheese but light on the meat toppings. Good pizza

Noticed walking past but didn't realise how small this restuarant was until going in. Not much bigger than a phone box but what a great pizza and atmosphere. The pizza was great and the owner and his crew were friendly and on hand (actually within arm's length) for refilling the wine. About 8pm three musicians wandered in and played some... More

We just happened to be walking by & thankfully stopped in for a delicious meal! It's a cute, cozy little place with only 4 tables but service is fast & super friendly. There are some really good pictures of this place from other posters that show the size pretty well. Everything is homemade & fresh & so yummy! While waiting... More

Had a lot of fun & great pizza in this hole in the wall place. Staff was really nice, owner has a lot of personality. The wood burning stove makes such a difference in flavor. Definitely worth a stop.

Found this spot while walking between my hotel and the main square. The smell of a wood burning pizza oven enticed me in. I was warmly greatest in this quaint place. A nice menu of pizza and pastas made for a tough decision. The pizza was delicious although the crust could have been crispier. I would return.

This tiny pizzeria is a real find. It's a single room with only 4 tables - you often have to share - with the oven right there. The pizzas are imaginative, and I would recommend the Cuzquena, washed down with...well...a Cuzquena, as it happens. As a matter of archaeological note, the building is a very handsome piece of Inca architecture.... More

While staying at the Novotel in Cuzco, we discovered "Pizza la Carlo" around the corner. It is a very small restaurant with a wood-burning oven. Not only was the service wonderful, but this pizza was the BEST we ever ate. We recommend it very highly!
