Pizzeria Cancino Mexico City
The best wood-fire pizzas
Once you see the menu, you will realize how hard its to pick one of their pizzas. The 400-degree stone ovens using oak and pine wood is the secret to obtain that crunchy texture and that smoky flavor.
One of the favorites is the thin crust "Cuatro Quesos" pizza, which is the perfect combination of mozzarella, gorgonzola, goat, and brie cheese, with a touch of green grapes. Along with this pizza, I recommend you try the Hibiscus mezcal cocktail that comes with a scoop of lime sorbet.
The menu also features salads and other Italian specialties. Vegetarians will find excellent options to satisfy their cravings.
The crowd is lively and a little noisy but well worth the experience. My advice is to sit outside and enjoy the view of the Cibeles Fountain as you savor the occasional music performers on the street. It's the ideal place for a date night or dinner with friends.
