Zelmi's Pizzas — Restaurant in Monteverde

See end of review for some top tips!!We wanted to get out of monteverde for lunch and found this place on Google maps. It's at the end of a shoddy dirt road but what a pleasant surprise! Really good pizzas in the middle of the family's own little nature reserve that's so well kept. So if you go, We didn't know about the nature reserve, but you have to go. Don't forget your swimming gear and towels, as they have a gorgeous swimming hole with a little waterfall you'll have all to yourself. Second tip, bring colons. They don't accept cards and the dollar cost is quite a bit higher than the colon cost. Large excellent pizzas are 24$ but only 10-12000 colons (19$) same goes for the entrance to the reserve which is $20. There is amazing birds at the feeders whilst you eat your pizza and the family are...

This place is such a gem!!! It’s inside an ecological sanctuary, so driving there was an adventure, but once you’re there, Zelmi was so welcoming and sweet! Her pizza was absolutely delicious, and don’t skimp on the fresh juices. We got the margarita, Hawaiian, and vegetarian (which was out of this world). The hot sauce is homemade and fantastic too....

My husband and I had the most lovely experience here! It's a nice little place at the beginning of a set of trails. We got the margherita pizza and the basil and tomatoes were so fresh! We are pizza snobs and it was to die for!...
