Pane e Pomodoro is a popular pizzeria chain with two pizzerias in the Medellín area located in El Poblado and Laureles with very good thin-crust pizzas and good Italian food

Two readers of Medellin Guru recommended Pane e Pomodoro to me. And I recently tried it out. The pizzas at Pane e Pomodoro are very good and I went back a week later to try the Italian food that was also very good.

More About Pane e Pomodoro’s Chef

Giancarlo Mazarrino is the chef at Pane e Pomodoro. He’s an Italian who is passionate about gastronomy.  At the young age of 14, he started his first experience with professional cooking at a local restaurant in Italy. After that he worked at different hotels and restaurants in Italy.

At the age of 22, Mazarrino felt the need to improve and went to Alma, considered the best school of gastronomy in Italy near Parma. He then went to Alba, the world capital of white truffles, to work in the Piazza Duomo restaurant.

From Italy he traveled to Bogotá and started advising restaurants such as Le Calvane, La Bottega de Andrei and Trattoria Archie’s and went on to become the chef at Dante. And now he is the chef at Pane e Pomodoro in Medellín.

All 13 pizzerias listed above in my opinion have better pizza than the pizza chains in Medellín like Domino’s, Jeno’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Doble Pizza, Pizza Hut or Pizzas Piccolo.

Also, we included Pane e Pomodoro in our list of the best pizza places in Medellín.

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

    1. Nice post. I went to Pane e Pomodoro in Laureles last night with some friends and agree they have some good pizzas. I had the Hawaiian pizza that was really good. And I had the lemon pie for dessert that was also very good.

    2. Been to Pane e Pomodoro in Manila. Was not impressed, but then I did not try the pizza. Much better by far is Il Castello (corner Cra. 40 and 10a). It’s more expensive, but you get what you pay for…Has been there for many years, is always full, and to my great surprise I discovered recently that it is famous enough that Carulla sells frozen raviolis of the Il Castello restaurant brand.
      Your readers might be interested to know that three new restaurants opened in the last two months in my area of El Poblado, which are worth exploring. Two of them are Italian: Terrazo and Cucina Simpatica, both on Cra. 36, close to 10b. A new Mexican restaurant, Hermoso Cariño, also just opened on the corner of Cra. 37 and 10a: it has a coloured block letters sign saying Medellín in front which makes for nice souvenir pictures if you stand behind it, and I hear the food is quite good.

    3. Wow looks like Medellin has a lot of good pizza places to try. So far I have only tried 3 of the places on your best pizza places list.
