Finding New York-Quality Pizza in Puerto Rico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finding good pizza is a top priority no matter where we stay. We lived for almost two decades in and around New York City, and consequently are VERY picky about our pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, we have found that the New York-Puerto Rican connection means that the island has more than its share of excellent pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are our favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luquillo: Revolution Pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revolution Pizza, at the kioskos in Luquillo, serves up excellent, genuine NY pizza. Ask for a table in the back with a view of the ocean. Come hungry, you\u2019ll leave happy.

San Juan: Pizzaiolo Pizza in Isla Verde<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose from Brazilian or NY Style pizza. This was our favorite when we lived in Ocean Park in the 1990s, and we were thrilled to discover when we returned in 2021 that is still here and still excellent.
Info: No website<\/em>

UPDATE: This pizza shop closed on early 2022, sadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabela: Junior\u2019s Pizza at Jobos Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor dining. Good cocktails. A great variety of ingredients and personal pizzas are available, so you don\u2019t have to agree on toppings or sauces. It\u2019s not on the beach, but a block up, with its own parking lot, which is convenient. they even made us a pizza once when they were officially closed, but the pizza guy was still hanging out after a private event. That is customer service!
Info: No website.<\/em>

Cabo Rojo: Papa\u2019s Pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of COVID, we only ever had carry-out, but it was only three blocks from our apartment. It was consistently excellent.

Island Pizza Chains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marco’s Pizza<\/a> is good. Williams Pizza sucks. You can find the US chains like Papa John\u2019s if that\u2019s your thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
