Pizza is very popular in Medellín and we look at 15 of the best pizza places in Medellín and the Aburrá Valley with very good pizzas, updated for 2022.

The following ranking of best pizza places in Medellín and the Aburrá Valley is based on my personal opinion with the help of my Colombia wife after having eaten pizzas at all of these pizzerias and many others. Also, we have talked to many foreigners about their favorite pizzerias in Medellín, which was considered in deciding on the best pizzerias.

Here is our ranking of the 15 best pizza places in the Medellín and the Aburrá Valley updated for 2022, which includes the best pizza places in Medellín and the nearby municipalities of Envigado and Sabaneta:

Diavola pizza at Ammazza with Spanish chorizo, smoked bacon, pork ham, roasted peppers and a mix of organic vegetables

1. Ammazza Pizzeria & Gin Garden

Ammazza Pizzeria & Gin Garden is a popular chain of three pizzerias in Medellín with excellent brick-oven cooked thin-crust pizzas as well as some good Italian food.

“Ammazza” is the name of the pizzeria chain that was chosen due to it translating to ¨amazing¨. And this is reportedly the goal, mission and vision of these three pizzerias.

In addition, Ammazza is a pioneer in Colombia in the world of gin & tonics that are popular in Europe but pretty unknown in Colombia. So, the pizza chain has created a gin bar prepared with a range of botanicals.

Ammazza is currently my favorite pizzeria in the Medellín area. And if you like thin-crust pizza with high quality ingredients cooked in a brick oven, Ammazza is highly recommended.

The pizzas at Ammazza come in one size with eight slices. On the menu at Ammazza are 17 different pizzas with pizza prices ranging from 22,900 to 39,500 pesos.

This is a very popular pizzeria due to having some very good pizzas. So, there is normally a wait for a table in the evening, particularly on the weekends. So, we recommend going early.

Bigotes small pepperoni pizza with mushrooms and jalapeños

6. Bigotes

Bigotes is a popular chain of three pizzerias that specializes in German-style pizza. German-style pizza is characterized by semi-thick crust and natural and artisanal ingredients including German ham and German bacon, which is made by the pizzeria chain.

A German expat named Jens owns the Bigotes pizzeria chain. He opened his first pizzeria in the Carlos E. Restrepo neighborhood over five years ago in July 2013.

Bigote is Spanish for mustache and the name of the pizzeria comes from the German owner who has a white mustache that twists on both ends.

The German expat owner Jens is an engineer who first arrived in Medellín in 2010. He was looking to escape an economic crisis in Europe at the time. He moved from Tenerife, Spain, where he lived and managed five pizzerias with his brother.

The recipe for Bigotes’ pizza was brought to Colombia by Jens, who for more than three decades perfected, along with his brother, the traditional formula of artisanal German pizzas.

The ingredients of the pizzas at Bigotes are all natural. In addition, they grow their own tomatoes, make their own sauces and smoke their own meats.

The pizzas at Bigotes come in three sizes: small with four slices, medium with six slices and large with eight slices. On the menu at Bigotes are 27 different pizzas.

Pizza at Sicilia in Bocca

Sicilia in Bocca is a small pizzeria located on Calle 10 in El Poblado not far from Parque Lleras.  This pizzeria came in second place in the 2017 Pizza Master competition. And the owner of this pizzeria is from Sicily.

I have been to this pizzeria several times. The ingredients used are fresh and the pizza itself is an authentic Italian-style pizza with a very good thin crust. The only negative about this place is that it’s tiny with only about six tables and it’s popular. So, it may be difficult to get a table during lunch or dinner.

Sicilia in Bocca used to have a second location in the Monterrey mall. But this location closed due to problems with employees in this second pizzeria.

The pizzas at Sicilia in Bocca come in one size with four slices. On the menu at Sicilia in Bocca are 93 different pizzas.

I used to live nearby in the Loma de los Bernal barrio. But when I lived nearby this small pizzeria hadn’t opened yet. Cavieli opened about three years ago.

A friend of mine living in Belén first took me to this pizzeria about a year ago. And I have returned several times since it has good pizza. This pizzeria is located near the PriceSmart warehouse club. So, I sometimes eat lunch or dinner at this pizzeria before going shopping at PriceSmart.

Be Careful of TripAdvisor Reviews – the Best Pizza Places in Medellín and the Aburrá Valley

TripAdvisor has a list of the best pizza places in Medellín and also in Envigado and Sabaneta. But it appears that you can’t search on Trip Advisor for the best pizza places in Medellín and the Aburrá Valley with the other municipalities in the Aburrá Valley included.

TripAdvisor rates Takeout as the best pizzeria in Medellín. But in our opinion, many pizzerias in the area have better pizzas than Takeout. We have looked at why TripAdvisor can’t be trusted for Medellín.

Here is TripAdvisor’s ranking of the top 12 pizza places in Medellín on February 14, 2021:

1. Takeout
2. Ammazza  Gin Garden (Provenza)
3. Café Zorba
4. Massi’s Grab and Go Pizzeria
5. El Zorro Y La Gitana
6. Toscano
7. Pizzeria
8. Pizzeria Olivia (Laureles)
9. Ammazza  Garden (Laureles)
10. Opera Pizzeria & Restaurante
11. Pizzaiolo
12. Cavieli Ristorante Caffe
13. Dante
14. City Pizza
15. La Serenissimo Venezia

One problem with this list is that some of these places are Italian restaurants that also serve pizzas. So, their high rating on TripAdvisor can be due to the Italian food and not necessarily the pizzas. There is no way I would include several places listed on TripAdvisor’s list in an accurate list of the best pizza places in Medellín.

Also, be skeptical with TripAdvisor reviews, as not all the highest rated restaurants are so good. Even friends of a restaurant can post reviews on TripAdvisor.

To demonstrate the problem of fake reviews with TripAdvisor, a reporter even made his garden shed the top-rated London restaurant with fake reviews.

I recall several years ago when the Flip Flop Sandwich shop was the highest rated restaurant in Medellín on TripAdvisor, which was pretty absurd considering there are many better restaurants in the city. Flip Flop Sandwich shop is now ranked #104 in Medellín.

In addition, there are also companies which businesses can hire to create highly believable fake TripAdvisor reviews, fix a reputation if they’ve received bad reviews, or even sabotage competitors.

I have found that you can use TripAdvisor to help find potential best restaurants but I also ask friends and locals for recommendations in the area, as you can’t really depend on the rankings on TripAdvisor.

What About the Big Pizza Chains in Medellín? 

In my opinion, all 14 pizzerias listed above have better pizzas than the big pizza chains in Medellín like Domino’s, Jenos’s Papa John’s, Pizza Doble Pizza or Pizzas Picolo. In my opinion, none of these big chains belongs on the list of the best pizza places in Medellín.

Also, in my opinion, Papa John’s has the best pizza out of the big pizza delivery chains in Colombia. But all 15 of the above independent pizzerias we have looked at have better pizzas than Papa John’s and the other big pizza chains in Colombia.

Also, some readers have asked if there are any pizzerias with good Chicago deep-dish pizza in Medellín.

I previously lived in Chicago for two years and like Chicago deep-dish pizza. But unfortunately, I haven’t found any good Chicago deep-dish style pizza in Medellín, yet.

Pizza Master 2018, photo courtesy of Pizza Master

Pizza Master Medellín

Pizza Master Medellín 2018 started on Monday, October 22 in Medellín and ran until Sunday, October 28.

This was a promotion where 41 pizzerias in Medellín offered a special promotion pizza for only 13,000 pesos. And with a soda the cost became 16,000 pesos or with a beer for 18,000 pesos.

Pizza Master selected the best five pizzerias in each participating city based on its competition. But in my opinion, this was a flawed competition. For example, not all the best pizzerias in Medellín are participating.

In 2018, only the following 6 out of the top 14 pizzerias in Medellín in our curated list above participated in Pizza Master:

• #5 Olivia
• #7. Ná Pizza
• #8. Pizza en Leña
• #9. Ragazzi Pizzas Y Pastas
• #11. Pane e Pomodoro
• #13. Sicilia in Bocca

And not one of top four pizzerias in our above list of the best pizza places participated. So, how can they claim the results are the “best pizzerias in Medellín”?

This is the same problem as last year. Many of the best pizzerias in the city did not participate in the 2018 Pizza Master because they would have to offer pizzas at a discounted price of 13,000 pesos when their normal price may be 20,000 pesos or more.

In addition, each pizzeria only enters one type of pizza in the competition. So, a restaurant that chooses a popular combination of ingredients could possibly have a better chance to win. This competition isn’t necessarily comparing apples-to-apples.

Here is the list of the top four pizzeria winners in the 2018 Pizza Master competition:

1. Ragazzi Pizzas Y Pastas
2. Takout
3. Simons Pizza & Beer
4. Pimiento’s Pizzeria

The 2018 Pizza Master promotion also ran in Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cali and Bucaramanga at the same time. A total of over 150 pizzerias in Colombia participated in this promotion.

Furthermore, the 2019 Pizza Master promotion is similar and includes over 200 pizzerias in 14 cities in Colombia and runs from October 21 to 27.  The prices are the same as in 2018. But only two pizzerias in our above best pizza places in Medellín list participated in the 2019 Pizza Master in Medellín: Ragazzi Pizzas Y Pastas and Burro Pizzeria.
