Pizzeria El Sapo — Restaurant in Tamarindo

It was a fantastic dining experience as we got to sit outside with a great atmosphere. Our server was extremely nice, helpful and quick! The power was unfortunately out in the kitchen so we were not able to order fried foods. The appetizer we ordered was Burrata and let me say that it did not disappoint , it was massive and was very oily. Next came the entree’s which were pizza and pasta! The margherita pizza was fantastic being light with a nice cheese. The pesto was magnificent coming with a perfect sauce. If your not too hungry the 4 slice half pizza is a good option as it still quite big. Finally we decided to check out the dessert menu which had a plethora of fantastic desserts. We went for the gelato and although the portions were small it was so savoury and delicious! I can personally recommend the lemon as it tasted great! For all three of us with beverages, burrata, pesto, a 4 slice pizza, a pizza and gelatos it came out to a surprisingly good price. Would highly recommend, my only takeaway being that it’s sadly not open...

Delizioso! Grazie 🙏🏽 Everything was divine. Parmigiana appetizer of eggplant, tomato sauce and cheese baked with a side of bread. Sapo Salada with lettuce, shaved Parmesan, avocado, and melt in your mouth savory shrimp lightly dressed with oil, salt and pepper. Vegan Pizza with broccoli crema, tomato, mushroom, eggplant and garlic. The ingredients were all so fresh and flavorful. The owner from Naples brought the best pizza to Costa Rica, prepared by another Italian working the traditional wood fired oven — he makes a great pizza and is happy to answer questions or have casual conversation. This is a pizza that doesn’t sit heavily or make you feel bloated after eating it. The dough is remarkable, a great crunch but still light and a little chew in the center. Thin crust. Not only was the food wonderful, but the service as well. The waiters were very attentive and friendly to have conversation with. They greeted us warmly and we parted warmly as well. Very down to earth crew, upscale food, comfortable seating and...

God couldn't make a better pizza! We rode bikes and were just looking for a good place that had vegetarian options. I am particular about my pizza and thought I would be disappointed but there aren't many veggie options in Costa Rica. Omg! I am so glad we decided to stop here! Literally best pizza in Costa Rica. I forgot to write a review back in march when we ate there and I just tried finding good pizza in my hometown in philly, pa. Nothing has been able to match this place which prompted me to trace my route on google maps and write this review that I should have written back when we first ate there. Can't wait to come back to Costa Rica and even if we don't stay in Tamarindo, I will find a reason to make it back for a day to go to this pizza stop with...
