Opera Pizza in Laureles is a traditional Italian pizzeria with a stone and brick oven. It’s a small place with little tables, very familiar to anyone from the US or Italy where places like this are common.

Located on Calle 42, this pizzeria has been mixing tastes of the North and South of Italy for 10 years in Medellin.

The Owner, Gioacchino Massimo takes personal charge of operations and makes each guest feel welcome so you want to come back. And the food is very reasonable, many of the pizzas start at $5, and the most expensive is only about $9.

Massimo says “Our culture teaches us to have a solemn respect for the guest who visits us. We consider the client a friend and treat him the most appropriate way is for us a duty”.

They also have baked dishes, pastas, salads, and desserts.
