The Best Pizzerias In Lima

Known for ceviche and traditional Peruvian dishes such as causa (dough stuffed with sweet or savory food), Lima is also home to great international eats and Italian pizza is chief among them. Some restaurants adhere to strict Napoli pizza standards, while others add a Peruvian twist. Whether it’s a classic margherita or a pizza topped with Inca berries, Lima has just the pizza you’re looking for. Here are the best pizzerias to visit in Lima.

1. Morelia

Pizzeria, Italian

Morelia is a great example of a pizza menu that offers both the Italian classics, as well as Peruvian creations such as the Limeña, which is topped with salchicha huachana (Peruvian sausage from the town Huachana) and huevo estrellado (oil-fried eggs). At Morelia, they blend Italian styles with Peruvian traditions to create some of Lima’s most creative pies.

2. El Italiano

As the name suggest, this restaurant does its best to make the perfect Italian pizza and it has a great reputation.
