Rustic indeed and a very good pizza!
Apparently the starter yeast they use for the bread has been passed on for close to 300 years now!! Read up on that history.
We tried the mushroom and the arugula personal Pizzas. Good portion to fill you up but the slices were light and fluffy by themselves. Highly recommend!

We had an hour wait, but it was so worth it! We walked around Old San Juan while waiting and then were delighted with the delicious apps and pizza we had. We had the garlic knots which were so light and fluffy with a deliciously tasty marinara sauce.
For pizzas we got a large split pizza basilica, and pizza rosada. The ingredients were so fresh and went well together. The strawberry lemonades were delicious too. We had a fantastic experience and can 100% see what all the hype is about!

Truly a hidden gem - BEST PIZZA I EVER ATED.
The Pecado pizza was incredible. Flavorful meats, perfect crust. Wow.
We also tried the bunuelos yautia which were phenomenal.
The servers were so kind and attentive. Food came out in a reasonable timeframe. Ambience is wonderful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Our best meal in San Juan.

Would NEVER dine here again. Came on a Thursday night at 8:30pm. Told it would be 40minute wait so we gave a phone number and went to a bar a block away for a drink, and were called later on with a 10 min heads up.
We then waited another hour after being seated to get food.
We ordered carne frita, an appetizer which was HORRIBLE. So tough you could barely bite into it. It was so bad I had to send it back and requested to not pay for it. They honored this request. Then 25 minutes later we got our pizza that was 80% cheese, impossible to handle, and overall extremely unimpressive.
Waitress was ok but very dull and inattentive, perhaps stoned?
People next to us in a large group had an indescribably horrible experience as well and we bonded over this throughout the night.
Good atmosphere

I wouldn’t recommend this place to an Italian. There are no real pizzas, as they all have ingredients that would not go on traditional Italian pizzas: alfredo sauce, goat cheese, beef and salmon, among others. The dough was the gummy type and somewhat undercooked. I felt like the restaurant was opened by an Argentinian, of third or fourth generation Italian descent. Good effort in adapting to the local tastes, but I would still expect to find proper pizzas at a place that markets itself as an Italian restaurant. We ordered the vegetarian pizza, which was the most “normal” one. It was a undercooked, but not terrible.
The place closes at 11 pm, which is handy for a late meal. Prepare to be on the waiting list if you arrive late. We had to wait more than 45 minutes before we were seated. The staff is nice and polite.
