Bold, Mexico City-style creative pizzas in a gritty-cool skate-bowl space; excellent for adventurous eaters, but expect long waits, inconsistent service, and pricing that can feel opaque.
Pizza del Perro Negro delivers a memorable underground experience with distinctive punk-industrial atmosphere and bold, creative Mexican-fusion pizzas that appeal to adventurous eaters. However, quality varies noticeably between visits—from exceptional to greasy or cold—and waits frequently stretch 45–60 minutes, limiting its appeal beyond concept-driven diners. Strong service moments and generous portions earn the grade, but operational inconsistency prevents higher recognition.
You slip through an unmarked door into a cavernous, graffiti-splashed space where a skate bowl hums and guitars snarl over the speakers. Staff are often warm and enthusiastic, and the scene feels like an underground hangout. One diner put it simply: "Looks sketchy outside, then it opens into a wild, welcoming room." However, expect occasional long waits and uneven service during rushes. The cooking is a playful mash-up: chilaquiles, al pastor, and chile relleno flavors layered onto big, cheesy pies. It is a bold, fusion-first approach that suits adventurous eaters more than purists. Portions are huge and shareable, but a few guests report greasy or heavy slices and the rare burnt or cold pizza when the kitchen is slammed. Pricing can feel opaque with half-and-half combos and add-ons, so ask before you order. For families, the vibe is loud and punky but there are accessible options like plain cheese or pepperoni. Kids who love excitement may have a blast; noise-sensitive ones might not. Vegetarian choices exist (Buffalo cauliflower pizza, cauliflower bites), though requests for more veg variations on spicy pies suggest room to grow.
