What are the best pizza spots in CDMX?
Mexico City has experienced a massive sourdough and Neapolitan pizza boom, making a top-ten list almost impossible to narrow down. Instead of chasing a long list, focus on the neighborhoods of Roma and Juárez. Pizza Félix in Roma Norte serves exceptional Neapolitan-style pies in a beautiful courtyard setting. For a thinner, sourdough crust, Dr. Pizza in Juárez is a neighborhood anchor with creative toppings and a relaxed, dimly lit dining room that feels perfectly suited for a Friday night.
What locals actually do
Chilangos treat pizza as the ultimate precursor to a night out, usually sharing a few pies with friends over natural wine or cocktails before heading to a mezcalería. The city’s pizza culture leans heavily toward artisanal, wood-fired, and sourdough preparations rather than deep-dish or grab-and-go slices. While Roma and Condesa hold the highest density of famous spots, locals also rely on the Cancino family of restaurants—scattered across San Rafael, Juárez, and Roma—for a dependable, atmospheric neighborhood dinner that never requires weeks of advance planning. You will often see groups grabbing a sidewalk table around 20:30, ordering a round of mezcal alongside their margheritas.
Book a courtyard table at Pizza Félix in Roma Norte just after sunset. Order the classic Margherita or the spicy Diavola, paired with a glass of natural wine, before walking over to Álvaro Obregón for drinks.
