The Best Italian Restaurants In Guadalajara, Mexico

An excellent option for cheap but excellent stone baked pizzas and hanging out with friends any time of the afternoon or evening, Pinta Negra also has some fantastically economical drinks offers during the day, with tarrasof beer sometimes costing as little as 20 pesos. The mood is relaxed and casual here, and therefore perfect for a lunchtime or pre-night out food option. If you get the chance, make the most of the view out onto Chapultepec from the pretty terrace, strung with fairy lights and lined by tiny pots of homegrown herbs.

If you’re looking for a more formal pizza experience than Pinta Negra, check out Funicula, a lovely restaurant which boasts some of the best pizza in Guadalajara. The crust is thin and crispy, and made to order in their pizza oven. No pizza is complete without a glass of wine to accompany it however, but Funicula have got you covered. Their wine list is simple but affordable. Make sure to carry cash if you intend on eating here, as card payments aren’t accepted.

La Mitotera strikes the perfect balance between Italianand Mexican cuisine with its menu, which features Italian dishes with Mexican twists. This cultural combination is evident from the decor of the restaurant, which is dominated by potted plants, art on every wall, beanbags, and the ever popular fairy lights strung from the ceiling. All of this gives La Mitotera a cozy and ever so slightly bohemian feeling; an assault on the senses in the best of ways. Take it easy and enjoy a chilled night here, with a lasagna or spaghetti Bolognese.

We round off our list of pizza in Guadalajara with one of the absolute best options in the city. The subject of its very own Vicearticle, this previously nameless street pizza stall is handily located right outside a popular trio of Guadalajara bars, which includes El Rey. With just two options on the menu, choose between meat pizza and the vegetarian option, which rather ingeniously uses pesto instead of tomato sauce, and marvel as Pizza Rila whip up the pizzas before your very eyes in the handmade clay pizza oven that’s built into the wall of the owner’s house. Unmissable.
