I ate the fries before I was able to take a picture. I opened the burger up to add some sauce (don’t mind the sloppiness). The amount of food was quite generous. They have thick beef patties in their hamburgers. Great flavors too. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Would love to come back again and try their pizzas!! The price for their food and drinks were also incredibly cheap.

Really good pizza and Caesar salad. Service was attentive. Sits right on the Malacon, so lots of foot traffic and noisy.

We asked for a well done pizza so you would see the crust is toasted. Service was great and the crowd is local and not a lot of tourist eating in.

We kept walking by this restaurant many times, saying we want to go and finally did. Was very pleased with everything. Holy moly the pizza is awesome, chicken wings savory taste and good Caesar salad. I would recommend this place and will be going back lots. It says wood fire but it's gas, which is fine, still tastes good

Out for a walk in PV and stopped for a margarita at Pinocchio‘s. Super good deal : only 290 pesos for four drinks – about half of some of the fancier places nearby. we had a very friendly server who mixed up amazing drinks, and we sat outside and watched the people stroll by heading towards the Malecon.

Five store for pizza joint is a little excessive. I know however food here is phenomenal crust was right on time and the service was spot on. Jose, our server spoke fluent English, very accommodating in grating and an asset to Pinocchio’s
