Best Pizza in Viejo Vallarta

IMHO Cafe Roma has the best pizza in PV... that award by some International group about a year ago said pretty much the same too.

sincerely, I do not believe Cafe Roma has the best pizza in town. It´s a very nice concept of restaurant, but to state best pizza seems too \"pretentious\", however, this is my personal opinion as a pizza lover (Italian food lover)...

I spend 2 weeks in the Tuscany every summer for the past 4 years, and the only place in Vallarta that is close to the \"real thing\" is La Dolce Vita (ran by italians, Stefano and Paolo). I have other choices too, like Portobello, but you could argue that Cafe Roma has a better one than Portobello and also Cafe Roma is better than Piazzeta (which I believe is not very good at all)! By the way, the price for the best pizza was actually obtained by La Piazzeta (virtualvallarta.com Readers Choice), which I cannot understand, but it reflects the fact that the only ones voting there are non-Mexican tourists and places with a \"touristy\" focus get more votes... but any local would avoid many of the ones listed there!

In any case, there can be many opinions on the subject...
It´s true, Cafe Candela is a very interesting place, I wouldn´t say they have the best pizza, but overall is good quality. nice little space in a non-touristy area...

First folks note: Cafe Candela is no more and the spot was taken over by Heidi who moved her fine spot near Esquina de los Caprichos [!] into the locale and still makes those famous pizzas in addition to other vibrant dishes.

La Dolce Vita certainly does make one nice pizza. Has anyone been to Bella Napoli near the bay where the Malecon Parking Garage ends on the north side? Just added to my dining guide.

Bella Napoli is best I had in the last 2 weeks while we were there. Planeta Gelato is excellent as well but you can only get whole Pie there.

Bella Napoli is at the corner of Augustin Rodriguez and Morelos as you are walking toward the Malecon extension.

We used to eat Candelas pizza all the time and wish it were still there. Patio de Mi Casa is continuig pizza in that location.

Cafe Roma pizza is not even close.
