I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pizza at this restaurant. It's hard to find good pizza in Guatemala and especially at a decent price. I had a Super Personal pizza with bacon and mushrooms. They asked if I wanted extra cheese for an extra cost but I declined. The pizza was delicious! Fresh mushrooms and yummy bacon, plus cheese, sauce, and onions. The crust was not greasy and not too thick or thin. The portion was big and I had a hard time finishing it. My dining partner had lasagna that he enjoyed as well, although he doesn't think there was any meat in it. His combo came with garlic toast and a small cup of ice cream for dessert, which was delicious as well.Drinks were overpriced but that's normal in most restaurants.The dining room was large and clean. The bathrooms were spotless. The staff were attentive and friendly and tolerated my bad Spanish.

We went there for lunch as there weren't that many options around and didn't feel like walking much. The best thing about this place was the cold beers! Food was average, I had the cannelloni with red sauce, which were pretty descent, and my partner had the Alfredo chicken fettuccini, which were uneatable!
6. Pizzeria Ulsan
Reviewed By Barbara M
I go to the Ulsan Pizzeria every time I am in Panajachel, often for more than one meal. They have an excellent variety of Guatemalan dishes and serve plates with local specialities such as Mojarra (a fish found only in Lake Atitlan). They also have foods familiar to those from the US, such as pizza, pasta, and pancakes. They serve breakfast all day which is a plus if you are traveling with picky eaters. The majority of their plates are under Q50 with many meals available for under Q30. My personal favorites are the burros mixtos, the supremo omelet and the sopa de zanahorias.

I appreciate how quick they are here. The food is decent. I had pizza once, which was fine. The individual is pretty big! I also had chicken tacos, which were good. Prices are decent- comparable to other places in Pana.They also have a gate that means there are fewer handicraft vendors coming inside.They reluctantly accepted my credit card, but prefer cash payment. Nothing unique about this place, but it's a safe choice with lots of variety.

We ate here on a "walk by", when the wood fired pizza sign caught our eye. We ordered a medium pizza, which took almost 45 minutes to be prepared. The price was not cheap. No service between the order and pizza delivery and none after. Would not go back.

I was GRANDPAcking in Panajachel for 5 nights.I quickly found the Lazzaroni for breakfast.For GTQ20 you get their Ranchero/Tipico breakfast which starts with a bread biscuit and porridge followed by the Ranchero.It includes unlimited tea / coffee.Good value for money for a tourist spot in Guatemala.

Can't go wrong with the pizza here. A large variety of pizzas and drinks fill the menu and there are some vegetarian or vegan options. We were a party of 12 and arrived at a good time because shortly after we were seated, it quickly became standing room only for a table. There's no A/C or ventilation so go early or in the evening when it is cooler. Do not order the soup though. Two adults in our party ordered the same soup and both had the same reaction-bland and without substance. It was basically bullion with a few noodles and a chicken taste. We informed the owner and she apologized and brought a jar of dehydrated tomatoes for the road since we had already paid. Beer was nice and cold and service was sufficient. thanks a lot for your positive comment! sorry that the soup was not to your liking, it is made from scratch, bones and beef meat broth, no chicken involved and no MSG, little salt. hope you enjoyed the tomatoes! best regards

My wife and I ate here in March 2019 and had an excellent lite meal of two pizzas/chips and beer.The pizzas (Meat and pepperoni) were not huge but very fresh and tasty and the chips were also brilliant.Service was speedy and excellent ( 1 hour total time) and the owner went way âabove and beyindâ by helping us contact our hotel to reschedule our return taxi.Thoroughly recommend.
