Otto e Mezzo Pizza Verace

Checkered tablecloths, red brick walls, and a name borrowed from Fellini set the tone at this Neapolitan-style pizzeria in the wine country of Bento Gonçalves. The kitchen keeps its focus tight, letting good dough and careful sourcing do the work, mixing Italian imports with local ingredients in a way that feels less like a concept and more like common sense. It landed at number 33 on 50 Top Pizza Latin America, which tracks for a room this comfortable with itself.
