Ella Pizzaria

Enjoyed great service and every dish we ate. The fig salad, pizza (I forgot which one it was but it doesn’t matter because they’re all good), and the burrata with truffle - yum! For dessert I think we got the brigidero options I’ve never had anything like that before it tastes like some sort of mashed up waffle cone pretzel smothered in chocolate and somehow it’s delicious.

Found this Italian miracle in Rio. Just across the street from botanical garden you can have delicious Napoli style pizza. This not another Brazilian pizza which is called Italian. This is true miracle!

Tasty, high quality pizza reminiscent of my time in Napoli. My waiter was lovely as well. It's right across the street from the botanical garden. I recommend working up an appetite while at the botanical garden and heading on over to this pizzeria!

I will start off saying that I am Italian: this is one of the best place in Rio to have a real Italian pizza. Ingredients are amazing and the place is super cozy. Message to the owners: please avoid turning this brand into a chain of restaurants, keep it unique as it is now!

The pizza, atmosphere and attention are great. These are some different yet tasty flavors you want to try. Still there are options for the classic palate. I would go back to try more types of pizzas.

Beautiful ambience (think red bricked wall, ambient light, sleek bar) and a super cosy atmosphere overall Food was delicious! We got the Japa and Pepperoni pizzas… fresh off the wood oven, earthy, cheesy, balanced flavours, overall a perfect pizza!

Really nice italian style pizza, taste is good with perfect Pizza dough. The shop is a bit small but has cool atmosphere.

Great place and vibes. They took care of us in a great way, fast and kind. We loved it. We were 8 people. I recommend it!

Taking the Portuguese spelling for Pizzeria as an impetus to spin Neapolitan-style Pies in a different direction, Ella Pizzaria abuts Jardim Botânico and seeks to lure in diners with an outdoor patio and rustic-chic interior. All wood and exposed brick, openings from 12h00 until 16h30 and 18h00 until 24h00 or later differentiating Ella from more traditional Brazilian Parlors that only serve dinner, it was shortly after opening that the Restaurant at Rua Pacheco Leão 102 was found empty, a particularly steady rain likely the culprit as things remained the same throughout a forty minute visit. Offering both menus and service in Portuguese as well as English, two Pizzaiolos visible in front of a wood burning oven springing to action shortly after an order was placed, it was no more than three minutes later that dining got started, Dough fermented for 48-hours forming a warm and wispy nest around sliced Pork and two types of imported Cheese. Finishing the R$26 round quickly, and receiving Ella's signature Pizza piping-hot on its heels, it was amidst leopard-spots and subtle notes of Yeast that Bacon, Cheese and two preparations of Egg offered elegance in taste and texture, an upcoming tasting menu dissuading Dessert but not a R$5 Double Espresso.

Loved the pizza! Light, original and really tasty (light in the sens that the crust is nice). The pizzas are artisanal with wood oven. The atmosphere is really calm and relaxing.
