At Sourdough Pizza en horno de Leña, indulge in exceptional wood-fired pizzas like the honey pepperoni and bacon jam jalapeño, all in a lively, welcoming atmosphere.
"This beloved food truck finally opened its first permanent location on Calle Hipódromo in Santurce. Steps away from the bars and clubs of La Placita, the modern pizza parlor wouldn’t look out of place in Brooklyn; it’s always bustling with patrons sipping Aperol spritzes and enjoying oven-fired sourdough pizzas. Start light with the boquerones in pepperoncini aioli before making your way to the house favorite: the honey pepperoni pie. Pizzas are served with the perfect char, and you can’t really go wrong with any of the options on the menu (including the superb red sauce number). Doors open at 4 p.m. and you should plan to arrive early if you want to avoid a long wait." - Paulina Salach Antonetti, Alicia Kennedy
"There are a lot of incredible pizza spots on the Island, and Fidela in Santurce is one of the best. It used to be a food truck, but now, a cool group of chefs with forearm tattoos are slinging wood oven-cooked sourdough pies in a proper permanent location. All of the options are excellent, but the honey pepperoni that you’ll spot on nearly every table is the one you need to order. Pizza is obviously the star, but you can also get a few small plates, like boquerones with shallots covered in pepperoncini aioli. The space isn’t huge and they don’t take reservations, so avoid coming here with a big group—if you’re solo, request a bar seat." - adriana silva, tiffany yannetta
"La Santurcina is one of the many solid pizza options in San Juan. It’s also located in Santurce near Fidela, but is a better spot for large groups—the kid-friendly space is huge, with high ceilings, tons of tables, and buzzy energy that always adds up to a great time. Settle into your pizza party and order things like aceitunas fritas, a ceasar salad for the table, and a couple of Neapolitan-style pies. Even if vegetable-heavy pizza isn’t your thing, the zucchini ricotta pie topped with onions and layered with a swirl of pistachio pesto should absolutely be included in your order." - Tiffany Yannetta

"SAN JUAN There are plenty of incredible pizza places around San Juan, and Fidela is one of the best. The restaurant used to be a food truck, and recently opened a permanent location that’s close to their original spot. Pizza is still the star, but now you can get a few small plates on the side, like boquerones with shallots covered in a pepperoncini aioli. All their wood-oven, sourdough-crust pizzas are excellent, but the honey pepperoni and cacio e pepe are next level. " - team infatuation
