Pizzeria La Baula — Restaurant in Tamarindo

We had dinner here one night on a recent trip to Tamarindo. The Baula is just a a short walk up a side street off the Main Street that’s near the Vindi food store. The Green Papaya is on the same street.

La Baula is a large restaurant. All seating is outdoors, most in a covered area with bar, the other is in the outdoor courtyard. Speaking of the courtyard, this a a good area for kids to burn off some steam or keep active while you eat. There are a variety of things to keep them busy there.

The pizza menu is large, with many choices. The pizzas are about 12” in diameter. Enough to feed two with 4 slices each. The crust is thin and tasty. The ingredients, fresh.

Overall good value for tasty pizza....

My friends and I ended up coming here because everywhere else was closed due to slow season. It wasn’t our first choice initially because the pictures just were not winning us over. Let me just say this place far exceeded our expectations. The lighting in the restaurant has to be why the photos don’t look crazy good, because boy their pizza is YUMMMM. The restaurant is beautiful as well and the service was amazing. They have gelato for dessert that is absolutely delectable. We got chocolate, chocolate chip (flavor reminded me of cannoli dip) & strawberry. I highly recommend coming here even if everywhere else is open. If we return to Tamarindo we will be returning to...

Worst pizza in tamarindo. I don't say this lightly , my family has been eating at La Baula for close to 15 years and truly am shocked by how poor the service was, and most disappointing is the pizza was just real bad. Sauce had no flavor and there was definitely not enough of it on the pizza. Not one time did a server ask how our food was . Our salads were brought to the table with no eating utensils. Beautiful location and a place that has so many good memories, to persevere the good memories I will make sure to never come back to this place again. Pizza place in mercadito and the pizza place in langosta are a million times tastier and the service is 1 million...
