ZOLA

Wow… better than any of the wood-fired pizza I’ve had in San Francisco, California. Impeccable cheese + bread. Gin and tonic was ok. Ambiance is 👌

Cannot wish for a better pizza.
Highly recommend this place

An absolutely brilliant place. Authentic Italian cuisine, everything about it is 5*

A must-visit if you’re in the Santa Teresa area of Rio.

Best pizza I had in Brazil with aMazign live music and fantastic refreshing drinks a must if visiting Santa Teresa

I had been walking past this pizzeria for a few weeks and finally went in. the ambiance is stunning and perhaps the best aspect of Zola. my partner and I ordered the "vegetariano". the wood-fired dough is sough, chewy, and flavorful. however, the toppings were underwhelming. this may be their weakest pizza. the raw vegetables, once cooked, released their water. this made the pizza soggy. also, the vegetables were not seasoned or prepped in a way that would bring some uniqueness to the pizza. a slight dehydration of the vegetables and some seasoning would be a worthwhile addition to this pizza.

last, I love a good gin and tonic. the one's here are untraditional. They come in too large a glass, have too much ice, and include sugar. So, if you enjoy a traditional gin and tonic, I would recommend you pass on this one and get a caipirinha instead.

This pizzeria is in one of the coolest locations in Santa Teresa. The pizzas they had are very good and the drinks are as well.

Great pizza fresh from the oven, 6 pizzas to choose from and a special, good range of flavours. We had the salami, vegetariano, and the special - all tasty. Mojitos were good too. Chilled atmosphere, relaxing vibe. The staff are very friendly and welcoming especially Marcella who served us, helpful in giving advice on the area, bubbly and talkative, made us feel very comfortable. Staff speak good English. Overall a lovely experience, definitely recommend.
