Nave Mãe Pizzaria — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata de Florianópolis

Picture a pizza place where the service is more Brazilian than punctuality - charmingly laid-back! Nave Mãe rolls with the "island time" vibe that Floripa is famous for.

They took Italian pizza classics and gave them a Brazilian plot twist. Like a soap opera for your taste buds! The menu reads like a love letter to cheese - lots of it, melted just right. Their calabresa pizza is so good it'll make you forget about your ex faster than a Carnaval romance.

The staff operates on what we'll call "Floripa Standard Time" - somewhere between "daqui a pouco" and "já já." But they're so friendly you'll feel like you're at your Brazilian auntie's house, if your auntie had a wood-fired pizza oven and a professional license to serve caipirinhas.

The place has that perfect mix of beach casual and "I actually put on real shoes for this." The decor looks like someone googled "cozy pizza place" and then added some Brazilian flair - which somehow totally works.

Pro tip: Order that extra caipirinha - it makes the wait time feel like part of the charm rather than a test of patience. And yes, putting ketchup on your pizza here is still considered a crime against humanity, even in Brazil.

Come hungry, leave happy, and don't expect to rush - this is Floripa, after all. Your pizza will arrive exactly when it means to, like a surfer catching the...

The restaurant didnt inform about the 15 per cent service fee which was put on the bill. It shows bad service, poor manners, and that they are unethicial. They should be ashamed of their behaviour; it's an...

This is my favorite pizzeria in Floripa. I think the ambiance is especially nice and cozy–simultaneously good for a date but also family-friendly. The pizzas are good and allow for multiple flavors per pie, service is attentive and well-paced. I think the "sagitarus" and "calabria" are both excellent, but I wasn't impressed with any of the pizzas featuring ricotta. But what truly keeps me coming back to this pizzeria is their bartender: the caipirinhas are best I've ever had. Refreshing and super,...
