Wood-fired dough stretched in the Neapolitan style fills this rustic pizzeria in Viña del Mar with a smell that corners you at the door.

Colorful accents and rough wood keep things relaxed, and the drinks list runs from Latin cocktails to a decent selection of wines.

A Neapolitan-style pizza spot in the Pueblito Gastronomico where the chef also runs packed classes teaching adults and kids how to work the dough properly.
