Mérida has 17 pizzerias clustered mostly in Centro and Paseo Montejo, with prices ranging from MX$1–100 (budget) to MX$100–200 (upscale). Only six qualify as upscale, but 180 budget spots dominate—proof that Yucatán locals love pizza without breaking the bank.
Budget Brilliance: Don Eduardo and Fausto’s In Yucatán, Don Eduardo pizzas artesanales is a revelation. For MX$1–100, it’s the only business here with a 4.8 rating. Owner La Señora’s 4-cheese pizza gets called "crispy and house-made perfection" in reviews. It’s open 12–10:30 PM daily, making it a go-to for late-night cravings. shows a golden crust and molten cheese—exactly what you’d pay double for elsewhere.
Just two blocks away on Calle 62, Fausto’s | Pizzeria has 1,393 reviews and a 97.0 score. Its yucatec-eggplant lasagna costs MX$100, and the 6–11:30 PM hours suit dinner crowds. The menu links to a PDF, which is a rare detail in Mérida’s cash-only pizza world.
Mid-Range Magic: Al Forno vs. Il Calabrese For MX$100–200, Al Forno and Il Calabrese pizzería both hit 4.6 stars, but their niches diverge. Al Forno on Calle 12 serves quattro formaggi with a "wealthy terrace vibe" (closed Mondays). Il Calabrese in Centro focuses on wood-fired pizzas, open only 6–11:30 PM, with a patio that reviewers call "ideal for date nights." At MX$100–200, they’re price twins but experience splits.
Upscale? Not Yet Barrio Napoli Pizzería is the only upscale option with 4.9 stars—but at 3,145 reviews, it’s more pizza bar than fine dining. True upscale pizza is missing, a gap the data shows clearly. The highest-priced slices without a 4.7+ rating? That’d be Pizzeria Oliva in Paseo Montejo, which oddly lists no prices but serves tiramisu with "bold gorgonzola accents."
