What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Pizzeria Ristorante Italia is widely celebrated for its authentic Neapolitan pizzas, often hailed as the best in Villa de Leyva. Diners appreciate the fresh ingredients and the pizza cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven. While many praise the friendly service and reasonable prices, a few reviewers have noted inconsistencies in service quality and some dissatisfaction with specific dishes.
"The pizza tastes better than most of what I have found in Italy. It’s baked to perfection with a clay oven and all veggies on my pizza are fresh. This small store beats every pizza shop in the United States and would surely rank among the better ones in Italy. After a few appalling meals in Villa de Leyva, this was the only meal I liked. Highly recommended."

"Friendly staff. Romantic place. The pizza was cooked perfectly and the dough was great although it needed a little salt in my opinion. I was not a big fan of the flavor of the cheese. The mango juice was delicious. fair price."
